On top of you, ride into the sunset
On top of you, let's see how long you last
Like how I ride it, ride it? You know I ride it, ride it
On top of you, I feel free
On top of you, ride into the sunset
On top of you, let's see how long you last
Like how I ride it, ride it? Yeah, you know I ride it, ride it
Yeah, yeah
And you know I need all those kisses
If anyone tries to judge us, tell 'em
Bitch, better stay out of grown folks' business
I don't care what they think
You're mine, everyone knows it
You’ll never leave me for anyone
For anyone, for anyone or anything
That’s why they come at us
He loves spending all his cash on me
To see me happy, he’ll do whatever it takes
My papi, that's my papa
Young, rich, and in love
In love and never leavin' each other alone
He’s either by my side or glued to my phone, yeah
For hours and hours
On top of you, doesn't this feel like a dream?
On top of you, right here on top of you
On top of you, right here on top of you
On top of you, I feel free
On top of you, ride into the sunset
On top of you, let's see how long you last
Like how I ride it, ride it? You know I ride it, ride it
Yeah, yeah
That's why I don't settle for just anybody
No doubts, I'm the best you've ever had, I mean
No competition, I don't do that
Nobody from the past or future
Will ever be like me, and you know it (yeah)
I feel free (you know I love it on top of you)
Ride into the sunset (you know I love it on top of you)
Let's see how long you last (ah)
Like how I ride it, ride it? You know I ride it, ride it
On top of you, I feel free (you know I love, I love, I love, I love)
On top of you, ride into the sunset
On top of you, let's see how long you last
Like how I ride it, ride it? Yeah, you know I ride it, ride it
Yeah

Key Grammar Structures
-
Encima de ti yo me siento libre
➔ Reflexive verb (present) with a prepositional phrase
➔ The verb "me siento" is reflexive: the subject "yo" performs the action on himself/herself – "I feel".
-
A ver cuánto aguantas
➔ Imperative phrase + embedded question (indirect interrogative)
➔ The expression "A ver" works like an informal imperative meaning “let’s see”, followed by the indirect question "cuánto aguantas" (“how long you can hold up”).
-
Nunca me vas a dejar por nadie
➔ Near‑future construction (ir + a + infinitive) with negative adverb
➔ The phrase "vas a dejar" uses the periphrastic future "ir a + infinitive" to express a near‑future action: "you are going to leave". "Nunca" negates the whole sentence.
-
Pa mí le encanta gastar todo su plata
➔ Gustar‑type construction (indirect object pronoun + infinitive)
➔ In "le encanta gastar", "le" is an indirect object pronoun and the verb "encantar" is used like "gustar": something pleases someone. The infinitive "gastar" follows the construction.
-
Yo me siento libre (you know I love it encima de ti)
➔ Mix of present simple and present continuous (present simple in Spanish, present simple in English)
➔ The Spanish clause "Yo me siento libre" uses the present simple reflexive verb, while the English clause "you know I love it" uses the present simple (stative) to express a habitual feeling.
-
No hay competencia, I don't do that
➔ Existential construction "no hay" + noun (negation) + simple present negative
➔ "No hay" means “there isn’t/there are not”. It negates the noun "competencia". The English clause "I don't do that" uses the simple present negative to state a habit or refusal.
-
Será como yo, y tú lo sabes
➔ Simple future tense "será" + direct object pronoun "lo"
➔ "Será" is the third‑person singular of the simple future of "ser" – “it will be”. The pronoun "lo" refers to the whole idea previously mentioned (“como yo”).
-
Sin dudas, I'm the best that you ever had
➔ Superlative adjective with a relative clause (that‑clause)
➔ "the best" is a superlative adjective. It is followed by the relative clause "that you ever had", which specifies the group being compared.
-
Bitch, better stay out grown folks' business
➔ Imperative verb "stay" with phrasal verb "stay out" and possessive noun phrase
➔ "better stay out" is an imperative suggestion. "Stay out" is a phrasal verb meaning “do not get involved”. "Grown folks' business" is a possessive noun phrase showing whose business it is.
-
Por nadie, por nadie ni nada
➔ Double negative construction with indefinite pronouns
➔ "Por nadie, por nadie ni nada" uses "por nadie" (by nobody) and adds "ni nada" (nor anything), reinforcing the negation. Spanish often uses double negatives for emphasis.
