[Letra de “PERRO NEGRO”]
Al menos dame un perreíto, mor
Wow
Yo no sabía que tú era’ así
Te juro que ahora me cae’ mejor
Me contaron muchas cosas de ti
Pero eres más hijueputa que yo
Es de hacer, no es de hablar
Suelta el cel pa’ perrear
Pasto y tequi pa’ entonar, yeah
Salió de roce al Pobla’o, ey, ey
‘Taba perdida y ahora anda en to’ lao’, ey, ey
Uno prendío’ y el otro está enrola’o, еy, ey
Hoy es el día, por si no mе has proba’o (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, ey)
Vi que te dejaste de tu novio, baby, me alegro
Vamo’ a celebrarlo en Perro Negro
Dile a ese cabrón que tú no quiere’ arreglo
Dile a tu pai que quiero que sea mi suegro
Mami, tiene’ el party prendío’
Sacó 2CB, ‘toy sorprendío’
Me dijo que la amiguita está pa’l trío, je
La loquita es un lío
Si le ponen reggaetón, marihuana
Hoy se parcha hasta las seis de la mañana
Quiero que salga’ de mi mente y te meta’ en mi cama, porque, je
Tú tiene’ cara que tiene’ la pussy linda
Que los dejas loco, enchulao’ como Belinda
Menéame las chapa’ hasta que me rinda
Un hijo en la disco, vo’a dejarte encinta
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
No me importa cuál es la hora ni cuál es tu signo
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Si el DJ fuera pastor, nos casábamo’ aquí mismo
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Baby, perrear con otro y conmigo no es lo mismo
Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
FERXXO
Bad Bunny, baby, bebé
Salió de roce al Pobla’o, ey, ey
‘Taba perdida y ahora anda en to’ lao’, ey, ey
Uno prendío’ y el otro está enrola’o, ey, ey
Hoy es el día por si no me has proba’o
Ey, ey (Wow)
Mami, bronceaíta’, solita
Lo de hoy no lo tiene’ que postear
No andas solita, andas con un par
Una paisita, she looks so fine
Tiene un culo chimba y cara mejor
Negro el bolso, negro los Halls
Estabas triste, pero no hoy
Tiene rosita sin ODEROI
Bebé, está encendía’, prendía’
Sale de noche y llega de día
Exótica, bandida
Una bebé, Real G ‘e por vida
