My friends from this have died without

wanting it, master, I didn’t know she was your

girlfriend, without meaning to, the role

unresolved, the shiny role that

I’m looking for the cake, my friends

are dead if they want

it was the same

I want to see

I’m not missing my own

so it was taken away from me, but I have a

family worried if I’ll get hit

that [ __ ] very sad, and now that I have

your face, it’s funnier, my jokes, take it

it would subtract that this day goes to analysis

current more than giving it, it almost tells me the

director

already with the engineer, the image

killing rappers, I’ll put you

with this [ __ ] that I take

with him

[Música]

taking words or the panistas too

for my friends are dead without

wanting it, because I didn’t know she was your

girlfriend, without meaning to, the role for

what

I’m looking for is part of me

life is very good

I’m not missing the role

[Aplausos]
