[English]

[Music]

I don't need a code to introduce myself

No details, how can they control me? I'm a boss

They know it's no fairy tale, better if I don't

talk too much, and a lazy guy isn't going to

save me, but from my father I like it more

Coming in wasted, two lines of coke, triple what

was there to share

Cruising, cruising, cruising through the city

In the luxury car, buzzing along, I'm

blasting the tracks

I won it all on my own, it's also my turn to lose

I'm not yet who I want to be, but God

guides me well

[Music]

Now with my eyes closed

Listening to a corrido, the league

Good interviews, get me ready for the

sun, they unravel me for notes, I love

feeling the pressure of the work, now well-known

Sticking to the path, Saint Michael is my

protection

Cruising, cruising, cruising through the city

In Miami

Buzzing along

Blasting the tracks

You've already come out

It was also my turn to lose, I'm not who

I want to be, but God guides me well

[Music]

[Spanish]

[Música]

no ocupo clave para presentarme sin

detalles como me va a manejar soy moche

Enredos saben no es cuento mejor no voy

a hablar de más y un vago de no va a

rescatado pero del padre me gusta más ya

viene ondeado dos pericas del triple que

había para rolar

dando Dando dando el rol por la ciudad

del loroise zumbando ando ando

retumbando las rolas

yo solito lo gané también me toca perder

no soy lo que quiero ser pero Dios me

guía bien

[Música]

ya con los ojos cerrados

escuchando un corrido la liga

entrevistas buenas me alistas para el

sol se me destran por notas trabajo me

gusta sentir la presión ya bien nombrado

pegado al rayo San Miguel es mi

protección

dando Dando dando el rol por la ciudad

en Miami

zumbando

ando retumbando las rolas

Ya saliste

también me tocó perder no soy lo que

quiero ser pero Dios me guía bien

[Música]
