[English]

I've got the crown of South Madrid

Even if it's made of thorns like Jesus'

I earned respect when I was cool

I did it with headbutts like Zidane

I'm everywhere, miso soup

I make her drop it low to the floor

Evisu jeans and daddy issues

Her ass looks like a tiramisu

This music thing paid for a jacuzzi

Just like Lil Uzi's diamond on his forehead

I've always been cheesy, pink like the 2C-B

But never goofy, I wear Gucci with Stüssy

I don't mess with groupies, since Baby Luci

Because I'm exclusive like bad and boujee

I'm not a rookie anymore, and I'm not into that bullshit

I'm gonna be the very Blueprint, like Saint George

The Fabio McNamara of rap

Nothing to prove. I'm a G without Yang

Evolve more to earn my bread

If you don't wanna grow up, you're a Peter Pan

My ass is expensive like J.Lo's

That's why she sits in the front row

That's why I charge... for the show

From being drunk at Elrow to the Super Bowl, hoe

I've got the crown of South Madrid

Even if it's made of thorns like Jesus'

I earned respect when I was cool

I did it with headbutts like Zidane

I'm everywhere, miso soup

I make her drop it low to the floor

Evisu jeans and daddy issues

Her ass looks like a tirami… yo

I've got the crown of South Madrid

Even if it's made of thorns like Jesus'

I earned respect when I was cool

I did it with headbutts like Zidane

I'm everywhere, miso soup

I make her drop it low to the floor

Evisu jeans and daddy issues

Her ass looks like a tiramisu

Words are worthless in this life

Deals are closed with lines of cocaine

They talk behind your back, and to your face it's a lie

Ah ah... I think he's still breathing

Some love me, others hate me

I don't give a fuck about being in their convocations

That this is a Ferris wheel, I tell my girl

And that only the winner will write history

Mama, I feel like Chayanne

I go on stage and all the girls scream

I'm the Eighth Wonder, if you're jealous it's normal

I'm the best like Mozart, dressed in Golf Wang

There's no fairy tale here

Only stabbings, a couple of badly copied copies

And hooked models

No one gives you anything, just pick and shovel

The hard price of fame, succeeding for a blowjob

I've got the crown of South Madrid

Even if it's made of thorns like Jesus'

I earned respect when I was cool

I did it with headbutts like Zidane

I'm everywhere, miso soup

I make her drop it low to the floor

Evisu jeans and daddy issues

Her ass looks like a tiramisu

[Spanish]

Tengo la corona de Madrid Sur

Aunque sea de espinas como Yisus

Me gané el respeto cuando fui Cool

Lo hice a cabezazos como Zizou

Estoy hasta en la sopa, sopa miso

Hago que me lo baje hasta el piso

Pantalón Evisu y daddy issues

Su culo parece un tiramisú

Esto de la music, me pagó un jacuzzi

Igual que el diamante de la frente de Lil Uzi

Siempre he sido un cursi. Rosa como el tusi

Pero nunca Goofy, visto Gucci con Stüssy

No jodo con groupies, desde Baby Luci

Porque estoy exclusive como bad and boujee

Ya no soy un rookie, ni estoy pa esa bullshit

Voy hacer de San Jorge el mismísimo Blueprint

Fabio McNamara del rap

Na que demostrar. Soy un G sin Yang

Evolucionar más pa ganarme el pan

Si no quieres crecer, tu eres un Peter Pan

Mi culo esta caro como el de J.Lo

Por eso se sienta en el front row

Por eso es que cobro ... el show

De estar pedo en Elrow hasta la Super Bowl, hoe

Tengo la corona de Madrid Sur

Aunque sea de espinas como Yisus

Me gané el respeto cuando fui Cool

Lo hice a cabezazos como Zizou

Estoy hasta en la sopa, sopa miso

Hago que me lo baje hasta el piso

Pantalón Evisu y daddy issues

Su culo parece un tirami… yo

Tengo la corona de Madrid Sur

Aunque sea de espinas como Yisus

Me gané el respeto cuando fui Cool

Lo hice a cabezazos como Zizou

Estoy hasta en la sopa, sopa miso

Hago que me lo baje hasta el piso

Pantalón Evisu y daddy issues

Su culo parece un tiramisú

No vale de nada la palabra en esta vida

Los tratos se cierran con rayas de cocaina

Hablan a la espalda y a la cara es de mentira

Ah ah… Creo que todavía respira

Unos que me aman, otros que me odian

Me suda la polla estar en sus convocatorias

Que esto es una noria, le digo a mi novia

Y que solo el que gane escribirá la historia

Mama yo me siento Chayanne

Salgo al escenario y toas las niñas chillan

Yo la Octava Maravilla, si te guilla es normal

Soy la para como Mozart, vestido de Golf Wang

Aquí no hay cuento de hadas

Solo puñaladas, par de copias mal copiadas

Y modelos enganchadas

Nadie te regala nada, puro pico y pala

El duro precio de la fama, triunfar por una mamada

Tengo la corona de Madrid Sur

Aunque sea de espinas como Yisus

Me gané el respeto cuando fui Cool

Lo hice a cabezazos como Zizou

Estoy hasta en la sopa, sopa miso

Hago que me lo baje hasta el piso

Pantalón Evisu y daddy issues

Su culo parece un tiramisú
