LA CANCIÓN
Length: 4:02
Release: 2019
Opening Lyrics:
Pero pusieron la canción, eh, eh, eh
Que cantamos bien borrachos
Que bailamos bien borrachos
Nos besamos bien borrachos los dos
Pensaba que te había olvidao, eh
Pero pusieron la canción, eh, eh, eh
Que cantamos bien borrachos
Que bailamos bien borrachos
Nos besamos bien borrachos los dos
Pensaba que te había olvidao
Que por comerme a dos o diez, te olvidaría (yeh)
Cogí un respiro y me salí de la vía
Y como un pendejo, no sabía lo que hacía
Nunca lo superé (no), nunca te superé (no)
Hasta me aprendí to’a las baladas en inglés (yeh)
Respiré y conté hasta tres
Eres la fantasía oscura de Kanye West, bebé, ey
Hace tiempo lo barato me salió caro (yih)
Yo sólo twitteo, balas locas disparo (yih)
¿Cómo olvidar la bellaquera en el carro?
¿A que guió solo?
