WASSUP Lyrics in English by Young Miko
Jeva is a popular slang term for "girlfriend" in Puerto Rico, and you'll hear it often in reggaeton and Latin trap music. The masculine form is jevo, for "boyfriend".
In "WASSUP", Young Miko playfully asks, "¿Tiene' jeva o tienes jevo?" (Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend?). This direct question sets a confident, flirty tone right from the start. Learning slang like jeva is a fantastic way to dive deeper into the culture behind the music!
Young Miko kicks this song off with one of the most direct pickup lines ever: "¿Baby, qué es la que hay? ¿Tiene' jeva o tienes jevo?" [Baby, what's up? Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend?]. She's not wasting any time. The whole track is pure confidence and swagger. Miko positions herself as a successful artist who has it all: she's buying herself rings for every finger, she's the "MVP de esto" [MVP of this], and she's got plenty of cash to throw around.
She spends the song flirting hard with a woman, telling her, "Si te cansas de él, mami, yo cojo el relevo" [If you get tired of him, mommy, I'll take over]. It's a bold offer. The vibe is all about being rich, powerful, and desirable. She sees herself as a "cabrona en el espejo" [a badass in the mirror] and is looking for someone on her level. This is a classic rap track about flexing your success and getting what you want.
