[English]

Pacas de billetes y una mente que las puede

Stacks of bills and a mind that can handle them

Desde plebes sabíamos que íbamos pa este level

Since we were kids, we knew we were destined for this level

Me cambió la vida, nos cambió ya el modo

It changed my life, it changed our way

Nunca para abajo, siempre para arriba

Never going down, always moving up

No me hizo menos ni un cabrón, nunca pudieron

It never made me less, not a single bastard, they couldn't

Carrito del año y hasta gente que me cuida

Car of the year and even people who care for me

Un Bugatti Chiron me lo compro, Dios me guía

I bought a Bugatti Chiron, God guides me

Ya no me detienen, bola de hocicones

They can't stop me anymore, bunch of talkers

Ya traigo con qué, por si quieren quererme

I come prepared, in case they want to try

Y no andamos jugando y hágale si quiere

And we're not playing around, go ahead if you want

Siempre me miré tranquilo

I've always stayed calm

Y al negocio siempre le metí los kilos

And I always put the effort into the business

Ando trabajando, me abrí los caminos

I'm working hard, paving my way

Unos dicen que, yo, ya no soy el mismo

Some say I’m not the same anymore

Me aferré a la vida buena

I held on to the good life

Con clase y estilo todo estaba afuera

With class and style, everything was outside

Hoy me bajo verga, a subir la escalera

Today I get down to business, climbing the ladder

No van a poder tumbarme aunque quisieran

They won't be able to knock me down even if they tried

¡Eah!

Yeah!

Y bien jalados

And pulling strong

Y arriba la bandera, viejo

And long live the flag, boss

...

...

701, la clave que se respeta

701, the code that’s respected

La mente brillante y el negocio la receta

The brilliant mind and the business, the recipe

Traigo medicina pa curar enfermos

I bring medicine to heal the sick

Música en la casa, tengo en la cocina

Music at home, I’ve got it in the kitchen

Alterando el sistema, así es como se mueve

Breaking the system, that’s how it moves

Rolando por playas, por las nubes mis placeres

Rolling through beaches, with my pleasures in the clouds

Un Jetski en Miami, por el mundo y las mujeres

A Jetski in Miami, around the world and women

Traigan a la cuenta

Bring the count

Una botellita, destapo champaña, coroné la vuelta

A little bottle, pop some champagne, I’ve crowned the circle

Y una de nueve tiros, cargo una Beretta

And with a nine-shot, I carry a Beretta

Siempre me miré tranquilo

I’ve always stayed calm

Y al negocio siempre le metí los kilos

And I always put the effort into the business

Ando trabajando, me abrí los caminos

I’m working hard, paving my way

Unos dicen que yo ya no soy el mismo

Some say I’m not the same anymore

Me aferré a la vida buena

I held on to the good life

Con clase y estilo todo estaba afuera

With class and style, everything was outside

Hoy me bajo verga, a subir la escalera

Today I get down to business, climbing the ladder

No van a poder tumbarme aunque quisieran

They won’t be able to knock me down even if they tried
