The taste is familiar, it doesn't kick me anymore

They arrive at my house, they don't sneak out, only models

Like Varea, multiplications in the homework

I am the chief in your own village

Something more than everything around you, don't

believe it. Remember, Curry the mind

Until LeBron, local, comes down the

hill. I'm with the orchestra, bastard, in the

sect. I'm never down in the

bets, and even less in this one. And I know that

we're in the final stretch, we're at the end of

the straightaway, the [ __ ] injects me and took the

house, not even puts them to bed

Another one falls due to the lack of gravity

One more, just in case he survives by chance

Refute my thesis, bastard, and we're going to give you

catechism, no, I have Christians

praying to Messi

You're a pebble, bastard, and you don't live like this

Your girl is always checking up on me

She calls me to hit it and I say yes, I've

been a [ __ ] since I was born

You're a pebble, bastard, and you don't live like this

[Música]

[Música]

[Música]

Mess with me

[Música]

In fame, out of admiration, I never keto

without ammunition. They want to show off, but they

don't have the condition, condition

Always active in my machine, I came out of the

alley alone, and I buy a million-dollar mansion for

my mom. I have the swag

that moves the masses. I'm loyal to my

label, that's why everyone asks

What's up? Arcangel sounds, no matter how much we

block him. Arcangel fills all the

concerts and we don't have him

[Música]

I tell her yes

I'm not going to change, I've always been

like this

[Música]

You're a pebble, bastard, and you don't live like this

Your girl is always checking up on me

She calls me to hit it and I say yes

[Música]

Well, we go out at night with all the

guys ready, with the insecurities

These bastards brag to me about sticks and

we're the owners of the hardware store

We walk around with all the rosaries without knowing

the Hail Mary. They brag, they brag, they brag

They brag to me and they're like a thousand without battery

We don't miss a hook today, if I took the

hook, we get into your ranch and in

your face we make a wide hole, I'm

not a thug, bastard. I don't know what

I know is that nerves don't exist after

this. Today there's no excuse, and if it's taken

out, it's used. If my forty was Versace, in

your face we make a Medusa, the night is

confused, and if you cross paths with me, bastard, we're

going to leave you jumping like at Lollapalooza

[Música]

With the family eating empanadas

Someone who does it

like me hasn't been born yet. If I don't catch you in Parras,

the Dominicans will catch you

[Música]

The bad bunny

and I'm the evil goblin, bastard

[Música]

me acostumbra el sabor ya no patea me

llegan a casa no se escapea solo modelos

como varea multiplicaciones en la tarea

Yo soy el cacique en tu propia aldea

algo más que todo lo que te rodea no te

la creas Recuerda que curry la mente

hasta que LeBron local ya baja para la

cuesta ando con la orquesta cabrón en la

secta yo nunca estoy abajo en las

apuestas y menos en esta y la ubico que

de la recta final estamos en el final de

la recta el [ __ ] me inyecta y sacó la

casa ni los acuesta

otro que se cae por la falta de gravedad

otro más por si sobrevive de casualidad

refuta mi tesis cabrón y te vamos a dar

catequesis no he y tengo cristianos

orándole a Messi

tu roca cabrón y tú no vive así

tu jeva se pasa pendiente de mí

me llamas para darle y le digo que sí ya

soy un [ __ ] desde que nací

roca cabrón y tú no vives así

[Música]

[Música]

[Música]

jode conmigo

[Música]

en la fama por admiración nunca me keto

sin munición quieren frontear Pero no

tienen condición condición

siempre activo en mi máquina salí solito

del callejón y le compro una mansión a

mami de un millón tengo la tengo el

piquete que mueve la masa soy fiel a mi

disquera por eso todo el mundo pregunta

Qué pasa Arcángel suena Por más que lo

bloqueemos Arcángel llena todos los

conciertos y nosotros no lo tenemos

[Música]

le digo que sí

yo no voy a cambiar yo siempre ha sido

así

[Música]

tu roca cabrón y tú no vive así

tu jeva se pasa pendiente de mí

me llama para darle y le digo que sí

[Música]

pues salimos de noche con todos los

muchachos puestos con las insecreterías

estos cabrones me roncan de palo y

nosotros dueños de la ferretería

andamos con todos los rosarios sin saber

el Ave María me ronca me ronca me ronca

me roncan y están como mil sin batería

no fallamos un gancho hoy si me tomé el

engancho nos metemos en tu rancho y en

la cara te hacemos un hueco ancho que

soy sin maleante cabrón Yo no sé lo que

sé es que los nervios no existen después

de estos hoy no hay excusa y si se saca

se usa si mi cuarenta fuera versache en

la cara te hacemos una medusa la noche

confusa y si conmigo te cruza cabrón te

vamos a dejar brincando como en el lolla

[Música]

con la familia comiendo empadilla

todavía no ha nacido alguien que lo haga

como yo si no te Pillo en Parras te

pillan los dominios

[Música]

el conejo malo

y yo soy el duende malvado cabrón

[Aplausos]
