The thing is that

Verse 1

A Beretta for protection

You are the ones who have him crazy and overrated

They wanted to have something, they even opened a corner shop

I always have my money, even though I move around relaxed

Now I bought a safe and I am going to put a padlock on it

So wasted on the coke, on the Glock and on the Beretta

His motorbike in that outfit looks like a bicycle

He did not learn from me on the street, but his account is dry

He is a fool who sang one record, with that metal in his mouth

Chorus 1

I say, for whoever gets heated, I get heated too

For whoever gets heated, I get heated too

I was calm, but sometimes you lose it

Chorus 2

For whoever gets heated, I get heated too

I say, for whoever gets heated, I get heated too

For whoever gets heated, I get heated too

And I was calm, but sometimes you lose it

For whoever, for whoever, for whoever gets hea-, for whoever gets hea-

Bridge

If you all are running around wound up

I am going to get wound up too

When you all get heated

You will see that I will be more heated than you all

Postchorus 1

Crazy, crazy, sometimes you lose it

I say, crazy, crazy, sometimes you lose it

I say

Verse 2

You two are Pinky and the Brain, no, no, no, the Brain and Pinky

And you always record records but you stayed kinky

With that sleek black one I get mine nice and easy

You with him with all that foam, he looks like a

You are still going for gold and your buddy is going for silver

He buys an old banger and they turned it into a Sonata

I have the machine and I have not even put the plate on it

You all are playing parties but for 50 thousand

Verse 3

The other one has not had a hit since Randy Nota Loca

Now you have him crazy and you turned him into a backup singer

Supposedly whatever the loser plays, and you think you are an artist?

Supposedly playing for sixty and then they send you to Europe

And in Europe there is no money, all there is is a pile of crazy people

Who keep stalking you to see how they can rob you

This record is for the characters who think they are artists

I was calm but sometimes you lose it

For whoever, for whoever, for whoever gets hea-, for whoever gets hea-

For whoever, for whoever, for whoever

Postchorus 2

Crazy, crazy, sometimes you lose it

I say, crazy, crazy, sometimes you lose it

I say, Pinky and the Brain

Outro

You all are not eating, man

The trains you are going to catch I catch them too

This is war

We are at war

You at that number one are going at it with me, yeah

Ok, yes, take it up, ok

sofoke — suffocation / annoyance

Sofoke is a Dominican slang term derived from "sofocar," meaning to suffocate or smother. However, in this context, it's used to describe a feeling of intense annoyance, frustration, or being overwhelmed.

In the song, the artist repeatedly says, "Pal' que se sofoque, uno también se sofoca," which translates to "For whoever gets annoyed, one also gets annoyed." It captures the idea of reciprocating negative energy or being provoked to a state of agitation, making it a vivid and culturally specific word.

Sofoke + Kinky is a Dominican dembow tiraera, a diss track, and the whole song turns on one verb: sofocarse, to get worked up or suffocated. Donaty's answer to whoever is stressing about him is simple. If you get heated, he gets heated right back.

Most of the song is a comparison. He says he keeps his money quietly, bought a safe and put a padlock on it, while the people talking about him borrowed their shine and had to open a colmado to get by. He mocks a pair of rivals as Pinky and the Brain, points out that one of them has not had a hit in years, and jokes that their European tour pays almost nothing and that Europe is full of people waiting to rob them.

The tone stays cool rather than angry. He keeps returning to the same line, that he was calm and sometimes a person just loses it. By the closing bars he drops the pretence: this is war, and he will turn up wherever they do.

For a learner, the richest part is the Dominican street vocabulary. Cuarto is money, a colmado is a neighbourhood corner shop, a luca is a thousand pesos, and a pariguayo is someone who stands around looking foolish.
