The Lyrics
Pero pedirte a ti no está de más
He encontra’o razone’, he mira’o la luna
Señas del destino, no sobra ninguna
Y mentiste, ¿pa’ qué?, hice un salto de fe
Tú te esperaste por mi firma debajo ‘el Mercer
Que me perdone el que yo piense que está a mi merced
A mi manera por el mundo, no es que sea de mala fe
Y duermo con el hoodie que me habías hecho, eh
Lleva mi nombre printea’o en el pecho
Quería dormir y me han roba’o el sueño
Ahora dime [Chorus]Ya estás engancha’o, soy heroína
Tú ‘tás juquea’o (Mmm), soy cocaína (Mmm)
La calle está enamorá’, enamorada de mí
Y yo estoy enamorá’, enamorá’ de la calle [Verse 2]Lo mismo yo te lo canto, que te lo canta Jaliyo
Como Canelita, por rumba que por tanguillo, je
Chiri, ay, chiqui chiri
Yo a lo chiqui chiri
Con mis cadena’, yo a lo chiqui chiri
Con mis cadena’, yo a lo chiqui chiri
Chiqui chiri
Tú ‘tás juquea’o, soy cocaína, ah-ah-ah
La calle está enamorá’, enamorada de mí
Y yo estoy enamorá’, enamorá’ de la calle (Mmm)
La calle está enamorá’, enamorada de mí (Mmm)
Y yo estoy enamorá’, enamorá’ de la calle
