[Intro — warm keys, low bass, distant car hum]
[VANI — soft]
Everybody thinks they know you.
Mm.
They don’t.
[Verse 1]
Black tee
Low seat
One hand on the wheel
Quiet type
Hard face
Never say too much for real
Everybody gets the cold side
I know where the warmth stays
You don’t gotta say “I love you”
Every fifteen different ways
You bring me home
Make sure I’m good
Text me when you’re outside
Act like you don’t care much
But I know that’s just your pride
Con todos eres serio
Conmigo bajas la guardia
You don’t show that side to everybody
Baby, that’s why it’s mine
[Pre-Hook]
My gangsta
Don’t need no show
Everybody sees the armor
I know what’s below
My gangsta
Come ride slow
Blue lights on the chrome
Let the whole world go
[Hook]
My gangsta
Ga-ga-gangsta
Hard with the world
But you’re soft when I’m beside ya
My gangsta
Ga-ga-gangsta
Everybody gets the cold look
I get your shoulder
Late night
Low bass
Your hand finding mine
My gangsta
Ga-ga-gangsta
You don’t gotta say too much
I can read you just fine
[Verse 2 — smooth sing-rap]
You got that “don’t play with me”
Written all across your face
Then I catch you half asleep
Pulling me closer by the waist
That’s the part they never see
No need to prove it to me
You can keep the tough outside
I know who you are underneath
No eres perfecto
Y yo tampoco
Sometimes you get stubborn
Sometimes I go loco—
[VANI]
Loca.
Whatever.
[Beat rolls]
But when the night gets quiet
And the city fades away
You’re the one I want beside me
At the end of every day
[Beat Switch — G-funk synth, soft Latin percussion]
[Sing-Rap]
Mi gangsta
Ven acá
No hace falta hablar
Quédate conmigo
Hasta que salga el sol
Chrome shining
Blue sky turning black
If the whole world wants your tough side
Baby—
I can have the rest
[Bridge — airy vocals]
I don’t love the image
I love the man
The way you make me laugh
The way you understand
And when nobody’s looking
You don’t have to act strong
You can put your head right here
You’ve been carrying enough
[Final Hook]
My gangsta
Ga-ga-gangsta
Hard with the world
But you’re soft when I’m beside ya
My gangsta
Ga-ga-gangsta
Everybody gets the cold look
I get your shoulder
Late night
Low bass
Your hand finding mine
My gangsta
Ga-ga-gangsta
You don’t gotta say too much
I can read you just fine
[Outro — engine hum]
[VANI — quiet]
They can keep the version they know.
I like mine better.
