Verse 2
They hustle, they hustle, but they don't pull up
You buy all the Jordans, fool, they give them to me for free
Verse 2
I try to go on a diet
But the thing is, in my closet, I've got too much drip
I already moved the Gucci inside the house
Motherf*cker, they don't even know you in the Plaza
The Devil calls me, but Jesus Christ hugs me
Warrior like Eddie, long live our people
I like Puerto Ricans, I like Cuban women
I like the accent of Colombian women
How the Dominican shakes her a*s
How hot the Venezuelans f*ck me
We're active, Perico Pin Pin
Hundred-dollar bills in the briefcase
Let the bass resound, Bobby Valentin
Here it's forbidden to love, tell them, Charytín
For your saltiness, I've got Claritin
I arrive at the club and a riot forms
Verse 3
Like Celia Cruz, I have the sugar
Your girl saw me and threw herself at me like Jimmy Snuka
We're gonna snatch your wig
And go to hell, motherf*cker
I'm not going to pass you the hookah
Wearing my Balenciagas, they welcome me at the entrance
Verse 3
And don't play dumb with me
Because you've seen my face on the cover of Billboard
You can't get me out of your head
Wherever you travel, you've heard 'Mi Gente'
I'm not just hype, I'm like the Testarossa
I'm the one who lives it up and enjoys it all
That's how it is, mami, that's how it is
Who looks, suffers, and who touches, enjoys
Or: The one who watches suffers, and the one who touches enjoys

ChambeanThey hustle / They work

Chambean is a cool slang term from the verb chambear, which means 'to work' or 'to hustle'. It's widely used in Puerto Rico and is a great example of modern, informal Spanish.

In the song, Bad Bunny uses it to talk down to his rivals. He says, "Chambean, chambean, pero no jalan" which means 'They hustle, they hustle, but they don't deliver'. He's essentially saying that while his competitors try hard, they don't get real results like he does.

This song is a massive celebration of success, money, and Latin culture. Cardi B kicks it off by listing everything she likes, and it's a very specific, very expensive list. She's not shy about it at all. She likes "dollars", "diamonds", and "million dollar deals". She even likes "texts from my exes when they want a second chance" and "proving niggas wrong". It's all about flexing her new wealth and power, from her "Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks" to putting "rocks all in my watch". It's a super confident, in-your-face declaration of making it to the top.

Then Bad Bunny and J Balvin jump in and turn up the Latin pride. Bad Bunny has some hilarious lines, bragging that while you have to buy Jordans, "a mí me las regalan" [they give them to me for free]. He says he moved the whole Gucci store into his house and shouts out Latino pride with "que viva la raza" [long live the people]. J Balvin keeps it going, reminding everyone that his song "Mi Gente" was a global hit. The whole track is built on a classic salsa sample, mixing old-school Latin flavor with modern trap beats. It's a party song about being rich, famous, and proud of where you come from.
