La Ciudad Nunca Duerme

Yeah, rap solo, double v, 2001, vices and virtues

If I start heating it up, and you got a liter, lift it up
I’m not calm, no reason to be
I’m not sober, no reason to be
To go crazy, lift it up (x2)

(My song) is sad and I lack ambition
The best doesn’t exist, and nothing grabs my attention
I’ve got the glam of a Japanese, but at least I make it look good
And with my damn crew, I pop another bottle of rum
Come with the homies, I wanna hear what you say
When your song cracks, your acapella, and your remix
Yeah, yeah, my rap goes beyond the physical,
Beyond the aesthetic: here’s my album
With a piece of crap doll, they wanted to do voodoo on me
My raps came from a garage, but my balls smell like shampoo
Drunk in public, a man in private:
Pleasure ain’t a sin, I’ve explained it!
My rap goes from the ears to where I told you
In Zaragoza, there’s no love if the script doesn’t demand it
My name is Javier, I’m an uncopyable myth:
My superiority on a mic is unquestionable
Sometimes fate is so cruel...
My ex drinks more than Massiel, and she’s looking rough
For the fans in the stands, my rap came
Sons of bitches wanted to take me down
But hip-hop was in me like God in Christ
And many merchants came to my temple to smoke a joint
Now that we’re five self-sufficient dudes
I bless the customers.

If I start heating it up, and you got a liter, lift it up
I’m not calm, no reason to be
I’m not sober, no reason to be
To go crazy, lift it up (x2)

I know where I come from and I know where I’m going,
Yeah, if you know it and I know it
I know when to speak, yeah, I know when to shut up,
Come closer, enemies, cover yourselves
I don’t know if I hit the mark,
'Cause I don’t know where the grenades I throw land
I don’t know if it’s a sonnet or prose,
I just know a bit about poetry and a bit about courtesy
We know how to handle computers, design metaphors,
Correct Pythagoras,
But who knows how to distract the pretty girls,
How to throw off the cops
We’re not gonna teach you anything
That you don’t know, or anything you don’t wanna learn,
You know it and I know it!, they put their feet
On the moon but there’ll be one
Disease without a vaccine
I just know that where applause fits
Comfort fits, keep your feet on the ground
I know how to solve a problem
I’ve got any theorem to spare
I do know what cream tastes like
Baby, do you know where honey comes from,
They’ve put a price on my skin
But I know how to walk at this level,
Dodging buildings
Between virtues and vices and cliffs
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
I know time wrecks furniture,
I know more about zeros than nines, I learned something from failing,
I bring the suspense, yo,

If I start heating it up, and you got a liter, lift it up
I’m not calm, no reason to be
I’m not sober, no reason to be
To go crazy, lift it up (x2)

If to die I gotta end up in a hearse
Be a lifeless being with gloomy background music
I’d almost rather be bad among the living
Among divas with my moves and my mess
Rapists against any other group
It’s a Spain-Malta, we won’t leave you a single one
Put your ass in flagellation or with a strap
Rooster fight on stage, dies instantly
I’m surprised to have so many paragraphs in memory
If I can’t even remember what I did last summer
I guess it was on the coast, whiskey and soda
Towels, trendy records, and not much more
Wasp waists on runways
Goddesses I see naked for just two coins
I’m talking about peep shows, about jacking off in booths
About latex dicks with veins and all on shelves
I was a troublemaker, a bad seat in class
They passed me just to lose sight of me instantly
What do you do, drunk?
Drink liters of Cali and later shit oil
On January 1st, I quit smoking and sign up for a gym
And park the glasses, I swear to you!
Broken promise like every year
I’ll end up soaked in drinks, I assure you!

If I start heating it up, and you got a liter, lift it up
I’m not calm, no reason to be
I’m not sober, no reason to be
To go crazy, lift it up (x2)

Double v, it’s right there, at the first change,
Hey, put your hands up after my DJ
(Double v) it was written, vices and virtues
(Double v) (x4)
