[English]

Cheer up!

Haha

Wuh, buddy

Coco, they already told you that I was acting crazy

That I'm making it to the top little by little

It could be, but it’s your photos' fault

How crazy, your mom says I look like a thug

That I’m a player, that I’m very cunning

But I don't even control that stuff

From up to down, I cruise around and around

With a sharp accent, nice, with money and class

You already knew the deal, that I loved to party

Why play hard to get? Give it a rest, why play games?

Haha

Oh, mama

Aggressive, but not too much, honey

Tito Double P

Wuh

Oh, mama

If we light up some joints and I also give you flowers

And LV, I sing songs to you, my baby, maybe a vacation

Something good

Coco, they already told you that I was acting crazy

That I'm making it to the top little by little

It could be, but it’s your photos' fault

How crazy, your mom says I look like a thug

That I’m a player, that I’m very cunning

But I don't even control that stuff

From up to down, I cruise around and around

With a sharp accent, nice, with money and class

You already knew the deal, that I loved to party

Why play hard to get? Give it a rest, why play games?

Wuh

Oh, mama

...

[Spanish]

¡Animo!

Jaja

Wuh, compadre

Coco, ya te dijeron que andaba de loco

Que estoy quedando arriba poco a poco

Puede ser, pero es culpa de tus fotos

Qué loco, dice tu jefa que parezco cholo

Que ando de perro, que soy bien mañoso

Pero esa madre yo ni la controlo

De arriba pa' abajo, me la navego pase y pase

De acento golpeado, bonito, con feria y con clase

Ya sabías qué rollo, que a mí me encantaba el desmadre

¿Pa' qué te la juegas? Ya ni la amuelas, ¿pa' qué te haces?

Jaja

Ay, mamá

Bélico, pero no tanto, mija

Tito Double P

Wuh

Ay, mamá

Si prendemos los blones y también te regalo flores

Y LV, te canto canciones, mi bebé, unas vacaciones

Algo bien

Coco, ya te dijeron que andaba de loco

Que estoy quedando arriba poco a poco

Puede ser, pero es culpa de tus fotos

Qué loco, dice tu jefa que parezco cholo

Que ando de perro, que soy bien mañoso

Pero esa madre yo ni la controlo

De arriba pa' abajo, me la navego pase y pase

De acento golpeado, bonito, con feria y con clase

Ya sabías qué rollo, que a mí me encantaba el desmadre

¿Pa' qué te la juegas? Ya ni la amuelas, ¿pa' qué te haces?

Wuh

Ay, mamá
