Lyrics:
Salgo acicala’ de pies a tope
porque puede ser que con el culo mío te topes
me siento Bichota sin salir del bloque
To’s me quieren partir y no tienen con qué
Roncan, pero no pueden con mi Pum Pum con mi Pum Pum
y si hay alguien que me rompa
porque no pueden con mi Pum Pum
con mi Pum Pum, con mi Pum Pum
Por encima se me nota que me sobra el piquete, piquete
nos dimos un par de botellas y ahora estamo’ algarete
yo también tengo una Jeepeta
la tengo Fulleteá con todas mis shortys dejamos el miedo en la gaveta
cuidao con lo que sube pal Story
Y adivina quién viene por ahí
viene Juana, viene Mari,
toas las Babies quiere Party
un commentary fuera de lugar y
y te vamos a romper
Salgo acicala’ de pies a tope
porque puede ser que con el culo mío te topes
me siento Bichota sin salir del bloque
To’s me quieren partir y no tienen con qué
Roncan, pero no pueden con mi Pum Pum con mi Pum Pum
y si hay alguien, que me rompa
porque no pueden con mi Pum Pum
con mi Pum Pum, con mi Pum Pum
Perreando Duro
les gusta mi culo
hace tiempo te estoy esperando
no sé tú pero yo aquí pensando
no hace na’ pa’ lo que está roncando
tu Pa’ darme Like en el insta eres veloz
Pero se rumora por ahí que eres precoz
Por más que me tiren no cojo lucha
la que me fronteó de aquí no se escucha
Salgo acicala’ de pies a tope
porque puede ser que con el culo mío te topes
me siento Bichota sin salir del bloque
To’s me quieren partir y no tienen con qué
Roncan, pero no pueden con mi Pum Pum con mi Pum Pum
y si hay alguien, que me rompa
porque no pueden con mi Pum Pum
con mi Pum Pum, con mi Pum Pum
Roncan …
