[English]

I wear the crown of Madrid South

Even if it's thorny like Yisus'

I earned respect when I was Cool

Did it with headbutts like Zizou

I'm everywhere, even in miso soup

Make them drop it down to the floor

Evisu pants and daddy issues

Her ass looks like tiramisu

This music biz bought me a jacuzzi

Like the diamond on Lil Uzi's forehead

Always been corny, pink like tusi

But never Goofy, Gucci with Stüssy

Don't mess with groupies since Baby Luci

'Cause I'm exclusive like "Bad and Boujee"

No rookie now, done with that bullshit

I'll make San Jorge the Blueprint's legit

Fabio McNamara of rap

Nothing to prove, a G without Yang

Evolve more to earn my bread

If you won't grow up, you're Peter Pan

My ass costs like J.Lo's

That's why she sits front row

That's why I charge... the show

From wasted at Elrow to the Super Bowl, hoe

I wear the crown of Madrid South

Even if it's thorny like Yisus'

I earned respect when I was Cool

Did it with headbutts like Zizou

I'm everywhere, even in miso soup

Make them drop it down to the floor

Evisu pants and daddy issues

Her ass looks like tirami... yo

I wear the crown of Madrid South

Even if it's thorny like Yisus'

I earned respect when I was Cool

Did it with headbutts like Zizou

I'm everywhere, even in miso soup

Make them drop it down to the floor

Evisu pants and daddy issues

Her ass looks like tiramisu

Words mean nothing in this life

Deals get sealed with cocaine lines

They talk behind backs, lie to your face

Ah ah... Think they're still breathing faint

Some love me, others hate

I don't give a damn about their invites

This is a carousel, I tell my girl

Only winners write history's words

Mama, I feel like Chayanne

Hit the stage, girls scream my name

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

I'm the stoplight like Mozart dressed in Golf Wang

No fairy tales here

Just backstabs, bootleg copies

And hooked models

Nothing's free, just hustle and grind

Fame's harsh price, success through grind

I wear the crown of Madrid South

Even if it's thorny like Yisus'

I earned respect when I was Cool

Did it with headbutts like Zizou

I'm everywhere, even in miso soup

Make them drop it down to the floor

Evisu pants and daddy issues

Her ass looks like 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
