Ser Bichote Lyrics in English Bad Bunny

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ser Bichote by Bad Bunny from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
And now we're kingpins
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
And now we're kingpins
Verse 1
Babe wanted that I be an engineer
Babe wanted a ballplayer
My second-grade teacher told me that I should be a firefighter
Nah, I am already going to do what I want
I always wanted all the sneakers, all the caps
The Pitbull, the BMW, the chatter
The Polaris, let the kid drive it
A tattoo doesn't fade
I always liked the hustle
I always liked the f*cking around
But I understood that that wasn't it
And now we're millionaires and without a label
Ferrari and Lambo, Panamera
If I want, I buy whichever one I want
Making money my way
My respect to everyone in the fridge, yeah
Chorus 2
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
And now we're kingpins
Bridge
What do you mean what happened to me, babe?
That I run things here in the projects
And I say that you have to go f*ck yourself
Throw it!
Verse 2
Here everybody's street
Inside I'm always going to be a thug
Wherever, I'm a naco
As a kid I copped like Polaco
That's why I have a nasty flow
All those who criticize me, let them die together
Bunch of motherf*ckers, settle your issues
Schools get closed while drug spots open
So, what do I do? Tell me, I ask you
Chorus 3
If I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
I always wanted to be a kingpin
And now we're kingpins
Outro
Bad Bunny, baby
Be', be', be'
Outro
EZ, EZ
EZ on the, the beat

SONG MEANING

Bad Bunny’s “Ser Bichote” is a raw confession of childhood ambition that flips the classic “follow your dreams” message on its head. Growing up in the Puerto Rican caseríos (public housing projects), the young Benito heard parents, teachers, and society pushing him toward respectable jobs like engineer, firefighter, or baseball star. Instead, he fixated on becoming a bichote — local slang for the neighborhood’s top shot caller, someone with money, swagger, and command of the streets. The chorus pounds that wish into your head, turning it into a bold affirmation: he did become a big shot, just on his own terms, making cash “a mi manera” and stacking Ferraris instead of diplomas.

The verses mix playful flexing with social commentary. Bad Bunny lists the sneakers, tattoos, and luxury toys he once fantasized about, then calls out Puerto Rico’s harsh realities: schools are closing while drug corners thrive. Even after skyrocketing from the barrio to world fame, he keeps the rough-edged pride of a caco (street kid) and salutes every hustler “in the freezer” — slang for those lost or locked up. The song is both a victory lap and a reminder that success, in his world, means staying loyal to your roots while rewriting the rules of what success can look like.
