Di-dispara apúntame disparaGo-go ahead and shoot, aim at me and fire.
Di-dispara apúntameGo-go ahead and shoot, aim at me.
Di-dispara apúntame disparaGo-go ahead and shoot, aim at me and fire.
Si mi nombre sigue en tu boca vas a lamentar que sea asíIf my name’s still in your mouth, you’re gonna regret that it’s this way.
Como yo solo hay pocas sé que te vas a arrepentirThere are only a few like me, and I know you’re gonna repent.
Así que di-dispara apúntame disparaSo go ahead and shoot, aim at me and fire.
Que no sea de espaldas sino cara a caraDon’t do it behind my back, do it face to face.
Yo no busco pleito habla m#erda y nadaI’m not looking for trouble, you talk tr#sh and it’s nothing.
Ahora ‘toy de frente así que di-disparaNow I’m right in front of you, so go ahead and shoot.
Me dijeron nicki no te alteres no te convieneThey told me, ‘Nicki, don’t get upset, it’s not good for you.’
Se ve que quiere que las ideas le ordeneIt’s clear they want me to get their thoughts in order.
Sabe cómo son tengo el sight tengo el donYou know how it is, I’ve got the vision and I’ve got the gift.
Ellos quieren intentar las copias son defaultThey want to try, but the copies are just the default setting.
Y ahora los fake dónde estánAnd where are the fakes now?
Yo no les creoI don’t believe them.
Porque les dije bye byeBecause I said ‘bye-bye’ to them.
Yo no los veoI don’t see them.
En mi radar ya no estánThey’re not on my radar anymore.
Los mató el egoTheir ego killed them.
Porque ninguno es realBecause none of them are real.
Miran de lejosThey just watch from a distance.
Quieres lo que tengo baby salte de esa lu-uzYou want what I have, baby, so get out of that light.
Yo sigo brillando aunque quiera’ apagar mi lu-uzI keep on shining even if you want to put out my light.
Tengo a varios loros copiándome la actitudI’ve got several parrots ‘imitators’ copying my attitude.
Dime tú dime tú-u-uYou tell me, you tell me.
Así que di-dispara apúntame disparaSo go ahead and shoot, aim at me and fire.

Right now pa’ ustedes no hay timeRight now, there’s no time for you all.
Como pa’ venir a molestarnosNot even to come and bother us.
Mi bien les hace malMy success makes you feel sick.
YoMe.
Los guacho’ ahora están haciendo plataThe kids are making money now.
Dejé la esquina acá se va a salvar quien se rescataI left the street corner; here, only the ones who wake up will be saved.
Me criticaron por buscar un sueño y no una tucaThey criticized me for chasing a dream instead of a quick high.
Como no les compartí el premio pa yo soy un rataSince I didn’t share the prize, man, I’m just a greedy one.
Me-me acostumbré hace rato pa’ mí no son un retoI-I got used to it a while ago; you’re not a challenge for me.
No existiría milo si viese qué dice el restoMilo wouldn’t exist if I looked at what the rest say.
Sé bien quién es real conmigo yo ya estoy completoI know well who’s real with me, and I’m already complete.
Tengo valores que no va a sacarme ningún cheto f#ckI’ve got values that no snob is gonna take from me, d#mn.
