Parto el queso literally means "I cut the cheese". However, this is a popular Spanish idiom where the person who 'cuts the cheese' is the one in charge, the boss.
In "SRT", Xavi uses this phrase to assert his authority and success, singing "A mí no me van a contar cómo es que corre el agua si yo parto el queso" (Don't tell me how things work if I'm the one who cuts the cheese). It's a memorable and visual way of saying, "I'm the one who runs the show here."
Xavi and Fuerza Regida are not here to play games in "SRT." This song is a massive flex about making it big and leaving behind anyone who didn't believe in them, especially an ex. The whole vibe is about being the boss, with lines like, "A mí no me van a contar cómo es que corre el agua si yo parto el queso" (They're not going to tell me how things work if I'm the one who cuts the cheese). He's built an empire from the ground up and now he's the one "que cuenta los billetes" (who counts the bills).
The song gets really direct when he addresses a past lover. He calls her out for pretending she bought her own expensive things, saying, "Miénteles a tus amigas, di que te compraste sola la Mercedes" (Lie to your friends, say you bought the Mercedes yourself). He makes it clear there's no going back, telling her "aquí no hay regreso, ya te la pelaste" (there's no return here, you already blew it). The chorus sums up his attitude perfectly: "Me vale verga, ahorita yo soy el rey" (I don't give a f*ck, right now I'm the king), as he speeds off in his high-performance SRT car.
