LYRICS:
Got me thinking about you baby,
got me thinking about you...

Hey, so... you're right
I've been working day and night like a motherfunker
Groovin' around, combin' my hair
And teaching their boyfriends how to dance
It's been all fun and games
but tonight, yes, tonight
it's you and I

We gotta funk it up, baby baby
We gotta funk it up, baby baby

We gotta funk it up, baby baby
All night
We gotta funk it up, baby baby
All night
We gotta funk it up, baby baby
All night

You crossed my mind, green light so far
but who could blame me, baby
you're a star
I heard that you got all of that I want
if I just impressed you, girl
then hold on tight
Is it hot in here or it's just the tune?
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling good
if you come a little close, you'll feel it too
you'll feel it too... ay

Quién lo diría
que todo el tiempo la telepatía serviría
te he pensado toda la noche
y también de día
y si te cuento lo que pienso baby,
te gustaría
They call me motherfunker y no digo no
Es que prefiero que bailes mientras yo bebo mi ron
Uh, puro 1700 porque ese es mi flow
añejo pero bueno, if you lick me you'll get drunk, hm

We gotta funk it up, baby baby
All night
We gotta funk it up, baby baby
All night
We gotta funk it up, baby baby
All night
We gotta funk it up, baby baby
All night

Got me thinking about you baby,
got me thinking about you...

Motherfunker

a lil diss track from 2023 that finally gets to see the light. feel yourselves!
written, produced, performed and mixed by me
master by Andrés Mata
shoutout to Linda my sweet wolf

LYRICS
Thought that I had seen it all
Shit is just getting started
I’ve been down and then up
Who knows where I’ll be after
Hopefully selling shows
Or playing golf with Tyler
I don’t really give a fuck 
Just as long as I’m -

No hard drugs or alcohol 
Just spliffs and sparkling water
Pisces gang gang gang
We be here but in other planets
Kurt Cobain rest in peace
Soon I will be 26, still
learning to express how I feel
I have to remake my blueprints 
Trade the shame for self-love
Make space to heal 
Seeing all my fears
Feels like I’m starting again

Creating my family again
Still no baby on the way
Maybe in the future but for the moment
I stick with my music and my bae 
I had some friends that are snakes
Serpientes con piel de papel
Si ya dejé de responder, 
por qué hay que venir a joder
The past is gone, why wait?
Our minds are just ours to play 
Take care of yours and meditate

I been going thru it all
It feels I’m reaching my peak
I’ve been down and then up
And I’m still standing tall on my feet
Feeling like I’m gonna fall
But I will not give this for free
Go tell all your bros
To keep stunting, they just giving weak

Nah I don't wanna keep making music with you… 
Fuck you

Yeah, yeah
If you want me to stop it then come to arrest me
Si pensaste que no diría nada, mi pana estás crazy 
Gotta watch my back out in the wild 
Because shit’s getting shady
Wild animals everywhere, eh
They coming out everywhere
I don't even know what to say, yeah
Just get the fuck out my way
Hah, just get the fuck out my way

Thought that I had seen it all
Shit is just getting started
I’ve been down and then up
Who knows where I’ll be after
Hopefully selling shows
Gettin rubies and diamonds
I don’t really give a fuck 
… wait
 
At first thought it’s me against the world 
Then found out it’s me vs. me
Then, realised all this time
I’m the only one who's been there for me  
Where the fuck were you at?
When I needed you the most
You was supposed to have my back
But now I’m sitting all alone, bitch
You did this shit to yourself
I swear it’s really not my fault 
I’m finding out new ways
To live life and move on
That’s why I’m still here
Making all these songs
This life would make no fuckin sense If I wasn’t here no more

Thought I wasn’t okay
But then I looked in the mirror
I got to think for some more minutes
And then I saw that pretty face
I said that I will be alright
Yes, we gonna be alright
K. Dot said it too
He knows, I know too 

Thought that I had seen it all 
Shit is just getting started
I’ve been down and then up
Who knows where i’ll be after
Hopefully selling shows
Or at home listening to Tyler
I don’t really give a fuck 
Just as long as I’m -

I don’t really give a fuck
Just as long as I’m me
Just as long as I’m free, yes
Just as I am counting hundreds
I’m just being really honest
Only playing with the hottest

Anónima (letra)
Y así voy a empezar
con mi cigarro en mano
y ganas de manejar...
A tu casa, 
espero me recibas...
Espero me estés esperando también
por mi casa no ha parado de llover
y son las 6:43 
aunque desde hace tiempo no sé...
No sé si esta guerra va a seguir
y tengo un camino escondido en mente
Ven conmigo para ver
qué tan lejos estaré
estaremos de saber por qué...
En mi terraza podemos estar
El viento pone mi bandera a bailar
Y si hace frío, a mí me da igual...
en mi cuarto nos podemos calentar
Y en estos tiempos de revolución
yo prefiero escribirte una canción
Mis pensamientos por un momento
se convirtieron en mi armamento
Esta guerra va a seguir...
tengo un abrigo y si quieres, vienes....
