A mi estilo te canto mi negro A mi estilo voy Coro Mentira no, tÃralo, pásalo pÃsalo, asereo Se te olvido, que el kilo no tiene Vuelto no, asereo Entro mi flow, entro mi clan Mi voz como Jackie Chan Que es lo que dan, mil cuentos mil Promesas que enganchan Yo sÃ, yo fui lo que te digo pipo El dinerito es el gobierno Quien lo raba chico Habla tu habla como si yo te fuera ajeno Habla tu, habla polÃtica cochina vemos Pero porque tu esperas Si el que espera, desesperas veras Asã que juega por la acera verdadera Coro Es invento es la bala trazante Que utilizan todos los cuenteros Los que dicen verdad no son tantos Dime cuantos why donde los veo Dime cuanto les costo llegar Why si son buenos No es por nada pero no dan ya nervios ni miedo La mentira puede correr años tiene Genios eso no lo niego Recordando los tiempos de ataño Solo puedo quitarme el sombrero Lo que tengo es musicalidad viene de lejos No es robado, ni copiado es más Es heredado, es otra edad Coro Te lo advertà más de una vez Que yo no entro en el juego De pendencieros mentirosos Why embusteros viejos Para el que se atreve Esta poniendo en juego su pellejo Tremendo bla, bla, bla, tremendo guaguanco, Rumberito recoge al Viejo que su tiempo Ya ha pasado Why ahora camina de lado embustero A mi estilo te canto mi negro La mentira no pasa, si no esperas Desesperas why que Ya te paso una vez, son dos Si no lo ves Coro
