Verse 1
She doesn't like reggaeton
But she loves how the sensation sings
It wasn't my intention
To grab all the attention
I live in a mansion and I don't even know the address
It's badass, really fucking badass
Daddy Arca, ask me for my blessing
Fuck dude, my house is a hotel
And the view looks badass
I can land a plane in it
I'm just missing the runway
Impossible that this combination fails
A medley of flows
Chump, don't push it
Palomo is a slang word in Puerto Rico used as fraud, faker, suck-up, a person who is unlikable, difficult, and pretending
When we talk about greatness, you're not on the list
No, neverland
I dismantle them like Legoland
And if I point you out, my crew will let you have it
And you go inside, but in the van
From the neck up it's freezing
I arrive and snow falls in the hood
Leaving these bastards without gifts
Santa Claus with the essence of the Grinch in him
Chorus 1
And I saw her, she's with two
Her friend looked at me
She got close to the VIP
Of course she did, of course she entered
Hello, my name is Arcángel, nice to meet you, it's a pleasure
Today you leave with a legend that won't be born again
And I saw her, she's with two
Her friend looked at me
She got close to the VIP
Of course she did, of course she entered
Hello, my name is Bad Bunny, nice to meet you, it's a pleasure
Make the most of me today, 'cause you definitely won't see me again
Verse 2
Your baby wants me to smash
Luka, step back, the jump
Basketball reference - Luka Doncic's step-back jump
You're dying to sell your soul
But even the Devil won't buy it
I have no competition
Ask your buddy
Everyone already knows, that's why Bad Bunny doesn't flex
The grandparents and their thuggish grandchildren listen to me
Shooters and students
Doctors and gangsters
Natural and with implants
The adults and the infants
In Barcelona and Alicante
In Santurce and Almirante
Crossing the street with the Beatles
Damian Lillard and another buzzer beater
Damian Lillard is a famous basketball player
Whoever wants, let him try me
But that doesn't mean I'll even look, nah-nah-nah
I'm a pitcher, I'm a pitcher
Or: I ignore them, I ignore them / I'm a pitcher, I'm a pitcher
And this is another game I'm throwing a no-hitter
I come from PR, land of Clemente
Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker was a Puerto Rican professional baseball player
I don't give a fuck about all the Jeters
Derek Jeter was a professional baseball player
The haters don't come out, I never see them in the street
I think they live on Twitter, okay
Or: I think they live on Twitter
I'm busy making money
So I don't have time to look after my sons
Because none of them earn more than the babysitter does
Daddy, let's go now, I want to fuck
Okay, okay, give me a break, baby
Verse 2
I spit in your mouth, I pull your hair
I'll pound you with my dick and with the Lelo
Lelo is a sex toy
In the private jet, a fuck in the sky
Today I want a whore, a model
Babe, gold-dig me, it doesn't bother me
'Cause later I'm gonna smash you with my nectar
Chorus 2
I already fucked them both
Her friend came back for seconds
Wow, she sucked it so well
He came in the other one's mouth
Hello, my name is Benito, nice to meet you, it's a pleasure
Today, you fucked with a legend that won't be born again
And I saw her, she's with two
Her friend looked at me
She got close to the VIP
Of course she did, of course she entered
Hello, my name is Austin, nice to meet you, it's a pleasure
You're listening to a legend that won't be born again

jumpa — jump shot

Jumpa is a slang term for a 'jump shot' in basketball, adapted from the English word 'jumper'. It's a perfect example of Spanglish used in modern reggaetón.

In the song, Arcangel and Bad Bunny rap "Luka, step-back, la jumpa", referencing the famous and nearly unstoppable step-back jump shot of basketball superstar Luka Dončić. They use this metaphor to say their musical hits are as slick and guaranteed to score as Luka's signature move.

In "La Jumpa", Puerto Rican heavyweights Arcángel (Austin Santos) and Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) team up for a high-energy reggaeton track all about supreme confidence, wealth, and effortless charisma. The title itself points straight to basketball culture: "la jumpa" is Puerto Rican slang adapted from the English word "jumper" (a jump shot). Bad Bunny connects this with sports royalty right away, dropping lines like "Luka, stepback, la jumpa" to compare his smooth flow to NBA star Luka Dončić sinking a step-back shot. Arcángel kicks things off by flexing his unbelievable luxury, bragging that he lives in a house so massive he does not even know the address ("Vivo en una mansión y no me sé ni la dirección"), complete with a view so big he could land an airplane if it only had a runway.

The track is packed with clever cultural references, wordplay, and blunt nightlife adventures. Bad Bunny rolls out rapid-fire sports comparisons, shouting out NBA player Damian Lillard hitting another buzzer-beater ("Damian Lillard y otro buzzer beater"), pitching a no-hitter game, and proudly repping Puerto Rico as the home of baseball legend Roberto Clemente ("Vengo de PR, tierra de Clemente") while brushing off anyone else like Derek Jeter. He points out how universal his audience is, noting that everyone from grandmothers and their troublemaking grandkids to doctors and gangsters listen to him across cities like Barcelona, Alicante, and Puerto Rican barrios like Santurce. When VIP encounters turn into wild hotel room escapades, both artists playfully introduce themselves by their real names—Austin and Benito—reminding the room that they are once-in-a-lifetime legends ("una leyenda que no va a volver a nacer").
