Yes, yes, yes

One, two, three like one, two, three

Like Run-D.M.C., in the place to be

I'm not at my peak, but on this beat, I

I sound more real than Madrid

Dropping the clip, Billy The Kid showed up

Shooting more fire than the Miami Heat

If you don't know how to dance, do like Bruce Lee and let the kick carry you

This beat is like coke, it gets in even through your nose

Even the haters have it on repeat

You can't stop eating it, like tortilla chips

I'm the gunpowder in the firecracker, I give two cups to whoever doesn't want broth

These b*stards see me pass and turn more Cristiano than Ronaldo

I'm the killa that annihilates them, flowing through the pattern like tequila when it burns

Calm as tea, they don't even see me with their pupils

And they get lost like Boy Scouts without backpacks

Free style like Holiday, with me gravity has no law

When my verse graffitis the whole highway

I'm the king spitting spray, I'm an MC in any format

My flow has spray paint on its shoes

And in a moment, like a marital fight, DJ Craze is going to break the plates

The killa's here, ki-killa, killa

Big-big-big Daddy Kane's about to come with it

(English)

Straight from them Brooklyn streets where they can see me at

(English)

Where it's never easy at, that's the borough we be at

(English)

Real hitters keep the strap for any type of beef or spat

(English)

Make your head tilt back like an Adebisi hat

(English)

That's where we're gon' leave you at, make 'em take a leafy nap

(English)

Any time that we attack, you don't want a piece of that

(English)

That thug mentality can be an aphrodisiac

(English)

But you're doing too much, homie, please relax

(English)

Don't make this animal damage you, and I will banish you

(English)

Handle you flammable like a match'll do a candle do

(English)

With words, I be a man of fuel

(English)

And if you plan to do any unamiable act anew

(English)

Against the intangible

(English)

You must be sniffing albino

(English)

Realize I'm a G, you're just I Joe

(English)

Realize that's might, but not dyno'

(English)

Sommelier, not wino

(English)

Straight from them Brooklyn streets

(English)

Realize I'm a G

(English)

I rip the mic, I rip the mic, I rip the microphone and leave it scarred

(English)

Throw your hand in the air, 'cause I've got a flow-sistic paella

If you drop reggaeton-pop, popcorn, glutton, with this little combo you crash

You showed your fangs, I left a dent in you

Low rank, you can't file a complaint against me

If you can't handle that camel, pass the bottle

So a bit dizzy, my pickup will run you over

You with mystic lyrics and I with the analytic

Let's go to the homes to check the statistics

You'll see what your rhythmic sexology yields

And we'll see if you withstand the barrage of punches from my critique

And boom, besides, tell me who you are

You brag about Berettas and you don't even hit at kung-fu

Trucutú, that trick has been shady for a long time

You hit in the dark and I spread the light

Without using McGwire's little vaccine

I throw you curves that not even the umpires see

Arrow with fire, so it burns your helmet and doesn't calm you

Not even taking half a bottle of Bayer

Lean back, see how I kill on the track

Straight from the root I'm the big killer, track killer

Matador of the news, I eat them as a snack

Like 2Pac, I kill leagues since way back

I killed in the street before crack was smoked in the street

Slaughterhouse in my area when I drop boom bap

I kill on stage and ring-cage like a maniac

I kill more offense than a block from Shaq

I kill with breezy philosophy, take it easy

You throw softer than a Missy

I take you for a ride and you end up real dizzy

With the real Big Daddy we're here real busy

I'm the big killer, track killer

Slaughterhouse in my area when I drop boom bap

I'm the big killer, track killer

Slaughterhouse in my area when I drop boom bap

I'm the big killer, track killer

Slaughterhouse in my area when I drop boom bap

When I shoot

When I sh-sh-shoot

Sh-sh-sh-sh-shoot boom bap

chanchú — trickery / shenanigans

Chanchú is a colloquial and somewhat playful term, particularly used in Puerto Rico, that refers to trickery, shenanigans, or a shady deal. It's not a word you hear every day, making it quite memorable.

In the song, Residente uses it to dismiss his opponents' outdated tactics, saying, "a ese truco hace mucho chanchú" (that trick has a lot of trickery/shenanigans). He implies that their moves are old news and full of deceit, highlighting his own authenticity and superior flow.

Residente teams up with two rap legends from different generations — Puerto Rico's own Vico C and Brooklyn's Big Daddy Kane — for a freestyle built entirely around bragging rights, with no real story beyond who still has the sharpest bars. Residente opens by casting himself as "el rey escupiendo spray" ("the king spitting spray"), a graffiti writer tagging "todo el highway" ("the whole highway") with his verses. Big Daddy Kane arrives mid-song for a full guest verse in English, warning any rival that "Real hitters keep the strap for any type of beef or spat" — old-school swagger dropped straight into the middle of a Spanish track. Vico C closes it out with the relentless hook "Soy el matatán, matatrack" ("I'm the top dog, the top-dog-track"), repeating "Matadero en mi área cuando tiro boom bap" ("Slaughterhouse in my area when I fire off boom bap") until the beat runs out. It's less a song about anything than three rappers, in two languages, taking turns proving it.
