Me gusta mi reggae
Tiritiritiririti-Daddy 
Evo Jedis

Cuando yo la vi 
Dije: "si esa mujer fuera para mí" 
Perdóname, te lo tenía que decir 

Estás dura, dura
dura, dura, dura 
Que estás dura, mano arriba porque tú te ves bien 
Estás dura mamacita, te fuiste de nivel 
Dura, mira como brilla tu piel 
Estás dura, dímelo dímelo ¿cómo es que es? 
Estás dura, yo te doy un veinte de diez 
Estás dura, dura, dura 

Tú eres la máquina, la máquina de baile 
Si no tiene a nadie vente pa' mi' brazos, caile 
Ese perfume se siente en el aire 
Algo como Argentina, tú me traes los Buenos Aires 
Está poderosa, media escandalosa 
Habrán muchas mujeres pero tú eres otra cosa 
Si fuera un delito eso de que estás hermosa 
Te arresto en mi cama y te pongo las esposas 
Tienes el toque, toque, toque 
Miren el material, edición especial 
Tienes el toque, toque, toque 
Perdóname, te lo tenía que decir 

Estás dura, dura
dura, dura, dura 
Que estás dura, mano arriba porque tú te ves bien 
Estás dura mamacita, te fuiste de nivel 
Dura, mira como brilla tu piel 
Estás dura, dímelo dímelo ¿cómo es que es? 
Estás dura, yo te doy un veinte de diez 
Estás dura, dura, dura 

Me gusta como mueve ese ram pam pam 
Mi mente maquineando en un plan plan plan 
Si me deja, en esa curva le doy pam pam 
Cuál es tu receta no sé, esta pa' comerte bien 
Me gusta como mueve ese ram pam pam 
Mi mente maquineando en un plan plan plan 
Si me deja, en esa curva le doy pam pam 
Tu belleza retumba, las otras pa' la tumba 

Uno, dos y tres vamo' a darle 
La envidia que se calle 
Saludos a todas las nenas que paralizan la calle 
¿Cómo tú te llamas? ¿de dónde tu eres? 
Dame el número pare entrar contigo en detalles 
Y tienes el toque, toque, toque 
Pareces una estrella formando el alboroto 
Tienes el toque, toque, toque 
Se cae el internet cuando subes una foto 

Cuando yo la vi 
Dije: "si esa mujer fuera para mí" 
Perdóname, te lo tenía que decir 

Estás dura, dura, 
dura, dura, dura 
Que estás dura, mano arriba porque tú te ves bien 
Estás dura mamacita, te fuiste de nivel 
Dura, mira como brilla tu piel 
Estás dura, dímelo dímelo ¿cómo es que es? 
Estás dura, yo te doy un veinte de diez 
Estás dura, dura, dura 

Tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay 
Pégate, dale boom bye bye 
Que tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay 
Pégate, dale boom bye bye 
Que tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay 
Pégate, dale boom bye bye 
Que tú tienes el size, otra como tú mami no hay 
Pégate, dale boom bye bye, yep, yeah 

Retumbando las bocinas de seguro 
Da-da-da-Daddy Yankee y el Disco Duro 
Urba y Rome 
Que pa' esta liga no se asomen 
Dura, dura, dura (DY)
Blaze (Los Evo Jedis)
