Entre menos contesto, más me dejan mensajes
El cuerpo tumbado lo siento, es la codeína

Yo le compro Balenciaga, ella no quiere Adidas
Quiere una baby nueva para fumar sativa y
Prendó un cigarrito nomás pa tirar al viento
Lo malo se pasa cuando fumo y lo siento
La noche no se acaba y el sol ya saliendo
Soda de piña en los lados se va escurriendo
El doble vaso en mi mano siempre está lleno
Un waxesito nomás pa pasar el tiempo, hey
Nos vemos luego
Y puros corridos tumbados, viejones
¡Eah!
Hablamos luego, baby, voy aterrizando
Acá por Miami el solecito está pegando
A mí las envidias ya me tienen sin cuidado
No me quita el sueño, yo solo sigo fumando
Mi madre no sufre y ahora luce diferente
No se preocupa, porque ya no hay ningún pendiente
Traigo la muñeca bien repleta de diamantes
Es cierto que ya no soy el mismo que yo era antes
Prendo un cigarrito nomás pa tirar al viento
Lo malo se pasa cuando fumo y lo siento
La noche no se acaba y el sol ya saliendo
Soda de piña en los lados se va escurriendo
El doble vaso en mi mano siempre está lleno
Un waxesito nomás pa pasar el tiempo
Nos vemos luego
