Lyrics:
Tamo’ en vivo
Sube sube sube el mic mic
Que vamo’ que vamo’
Que vamo para jodadera a full baby
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Cómo es, dame una vueltita otra vez
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Tú la ves, como hace lo suyo, tú la ves
La zona destroza, que esto es otra cosa
Esto es pa` todas las bebas que se ponen rabiosa
Es tan peligrosa con las curvas nitrosas
Se cae la casa cuando ella rompe la losa
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto, dale duro
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto, dale duro
Se pone bien loca cuando a ti te toca
Toda la sanduga en ese bompe te choca choca
Tú no bailas como yo, tú no bailas como yo
Mucho piquete, mucho flow flow nos matamos
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Cómo es, dame una vueltita otra vez
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Tú la ves, como hace lo suyo, tú la ves
Las botellas arriba, el combo en la mesa
Y salen fieras por naturaleza
Vamo’ a ver toa’ las chapi en candela
Hay que llevarlas pa’ la vieja escuela
Ahí es que va a apretar
Échate eso pa’ acá
Las nalgas para atrás y tra tra tra tra
Ahí es que va a apretar
Échate eso pa’ acá
Las nalgas para atrás y tra tra tra tra
Con tu jean siempre cuando le roza el booty
Le tiro sustancia más caliente que churry
Ella es otro level, cuando me lo mueve
Sopa de rafagasos sin llevar una nueve
Se explota como un peine, yo exploto como un largo
Me debe la pista y su cintura la embargo
Le gusta la pesca, porque es una fresca
Siga pal bailoteo que se coma este pargo
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Cómo es, dame una vueltita otra vez
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky, shaky
Tú la ves, tiene una sandunga en esos pies
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto, dale duro
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto (terremoto)
Terremoto, fuimos!
