[English]

9 a.m. in the city

I’ve landed

I wanna eat your booty, ‘cause I skipped breakfast today

I’m gonna grab you by the hair

See your neck tattoo

That’s your trademark

I came here just to see you

I want my reward

I’ve been in the city for ten hours

But I’ve already been giving it to you for nine

You’ve canceled two rides already

And your friends keep calling

So nice, okay

I’ll see you later to give it to you again (tell me)

She’s on her way to the hotel lobby

Smell of tobacco when I kissed you

And I know you don’t smoke

You arrived at 1:00

A bit distracted

Still, I hit it

I was thinking I was the only one

But something tells me I’m not anymore, baby

I was thinking I was the only one

But something tells me I’m not anymore, baby

I called CA7RIEL and said, “This crazy girl’s got me messed up”

And Cato said, “I’ve got one playing with me too”

Big booty, beautiful eyes, straight hair, neck tattoo

Long legs, and when I kiss her

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

Neck tattoo? Yeah

Black hair? Yeah

Silicone? Yeah

Did you see her last night? Yeah

Fuck!

We’ve been fucking the same girl

You at night, me in the day, who would’ve thought?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck

I was thinking I was the only one

But something tells me I’m not anymore, baby

I was thinking I was the only one

But something tells me I’m not anymore, baby

I was thinking I was the only one

But something tells me I’m not anymore, baby

I was thinking I was the only one

But something tells me I’m not anymore, baby

...

[Spanish]

9 a.m. en la city

Ya aterricé

Quiero comer tu culito, que hoy no desayuné

Voy a agarrarte del pelo

Ver tu tatuaje del cuello

Ese es tu sello

Vine solo para verte

Quiero mi premio

Hace diez horas que estoy en la city

Pero ya voy nueve dándote

Ya cancelaste dos Didis

Y tus amigas llamándote

So nice, okey

Te veo después pa' darte again (dímelo)

Viene de camino al lobby del hotel

Olor a tabaco cuando te besé

Y sé que tú no fumas

Llegaste a la 1:00

Algo distraída

Igual te clavé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Lo llamo a CA7RIEL y le digo: "esta loca me tiene jodido"

Y Cato me dice: "también tengo a una jugando conmigo"

El culo grande, los ojos bellos, el pelo lacio, tatuaje en el cuello

Las piernas largas y cuando la beso

Pará, pará, pará, pará, pará, pará

¿Tatuaje en el cuello? Sí

¿El pelo negro? Sí

¿De silicona? Sí

¿Se vieron anoche? Sí

Fuck!

We've been fucking the same girl

Tú, por la noche y yo, por el día, ¿quién lo diría?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no bebé

Yo acá pensando que era el único

Pero algo me dice que ya no, bebé
