dare yourself

dare yourself
get out of the closet
Escape yourself, take off your nail polish
stop covering you up that no one is gonna take you a picture
get up, get hyper
turn yourself on, get the spark on the starter
get yourself on fire like a lighter
shake the sweat off like a wiper
that you are from the streets, Street Fighter
 
Change that serious face
that face of an intelectual, from encyclopedia
that i am gonna give you a shot with the bacteria
so you'll spin like a machine in the carnaval
Miss intelectual, i know that you have
the abs area that's gonna explode
like a huge party, that's gonna explode
like a palestinian ...
i know that you like latino pop-rock
but this reggaeton gets inside your intestines
from under your skirt like a submarine
 
you know, with a barely butt-cover, mama
in the name of Agüeybana
there's no mo, ______________ that i'm not gonna lie to you
i know that i also want to eat your parsley
and you came amazonic like Brasil
you came to kill her like "Kill Bill"
you came to drink cerveza froma barrel
you know that with me you have refill
 
dare yourself
get out of the closet
Escape yourself, take off your nail polish
stop covering you up that no one is gonna take you a picture
get up, get hyper
turn yourself on, get the spark on the starter
get yourself on fire like a lighter
shake the sweat off like a wiper
that you are from the streets, Street Fighter
 
Hello, leave the show
lift up your mini skirt
up to your back
lift it up, leave the show, up higher
that now we're gonna dance all the jarda
look, baby, do you wanna yes? / sippi?
it doesn't matter if you are a rapper or hippie
if you're from Bayamon or from Guaynabo City
don't get picky with me
this is all the way down, get the tricky
this is easy, this is a mamey
what does it matter if you like Green Day?
what does it matter if you like Coldplay?
this is direct, non-stop, one-way
i swear to you that's for sure
here all boricuas (puertoricans) know karate
they cook with tomato sauce
they wet the rice with a little avocado
to harvest 14-karat asses
 
dare yourself
get out of the closet
Escape yourself, take off your nail polish
stop covering you up that no one is gonna take you a picture
get up, get hyper
turn yourself on, get the spark on the starter
get yourself on fire like a lighter
shake the sweat off like a wiper
that you are from the streets, Street Fighter
 
dare yourself
get out of the closet
Escape yourself, take off your nail polish
stop covering you up that no one is gonna take you a picture
get up, get hyper
turn yourself on, get the spark on the starter
get yourself on fire like a lighter
shake the sweat off like a wiper
that you are from the streets, Street Fighter

Puerto Rican slang is difficult, look, baby, do you wanna yes? / sippi? (do you want your sipi) means to me like "do you want something to suck" or do you want something to suck and make your happy" sipi is a baby pacifier (I think)

or something to drink, I just talked to a portorican girl and she told me that "ahora vamo a bailar por toa las haldas" or "Ahora vamos a bailar por toa las faldas" (depending on what you hear in the song) means "now we are going to dance on all the downhills" Halda, or falda in Mexico means downhills or a place that goes downhill and is full of brush (falda also means skirt) but he is talking about a place, like the falda of a mountain, the skirt of a mountain in spanish
