Madre, ¿En dónde esta padre, madre?
Ahora que nos conocemos mejor mamá
Ven aca y dime donde esta papá!!
De ir en la vida en la pura subida
Ahora en picada y de pura bajada
Quien piense que no llueve sobre mojado
Alivianame ñor que aqui truena sobre empapado
Duermo en el lodo antes tenia una cama
Tenia edredon ahora tapa de caja
Estaba usando mi perro de almohada
Y tope unas tortillas, y no queda perro nada!!
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honney
Nos comeremos aqui entre los dos nena
Con las proteínas de una cawama
Logre levantarme para pedir chamba
Sali a la calle a ver quien me aliviana
Y aqui estoy de rebote gracias a un cerdo con su macana
6 months now sin comida ni chamba
Vendi tanto mi alma que no vale nada
Quisiera rentarla pero ya no awanta
Asi que hechen paja paja tito el roto ya no la levanta
No comeremos mañana ni hoy honney
