MY SHORTY (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro (Ñengo Flow & JC Reyes)]
The intro sets the tone of the song by introducing “shorty,” which is a slang term for a special girl. The artist calls her his little one, his baby, showing his affection and attachment. It’s a simple but catchy way to start, emphasizing how important she is to him.

[Chorus (JC Reyes)]
The chorus highlights the exciting, luxurious life the artist shares with his girl, comparing it to a movie. He enjoys the thrill of being with her but wants to keep their relationship private, avoiding social media exposure. She’s drawn to the dangerous, street-smart lifestyle, including the “mafia” and “suvi” (a term often linked to cars or street culture). “The forty” could refer to a gun, symbolizing her connection to power and danger.

[Verse 1 (JC Reyes)]
This verse focuses on wealth, success, and the street life. The artist mentions expensive watches and spending money freely, showing his status. He talks about getting rid of people who aren’t loyal, hinting at a tough, no-nonsense attitude. References to money transactions and luxury brands show his high-end lifestyle. Mentions of “kilos” and “Moët” suggest involvement in an illegal business while indulging in luxury. The last lines shift to an intimate moment, adding a mix of danger and passion to his relationship with “shorty.”

[Verse 2 (De La Ghetto)]
De La Ghetto continues the theme of money, attraction, and luxury. He talks about showering his girl with cash and enjoying a wild night with her. He loves watching her dance and appreciates how her confidence and looks have evolved. The lyrics emphasize that she’s at the top of her game, feeling powerful and untouchable. He describes her as a “bad b!tch” who’s both street-smart and wealthy. She’s well-prepared, always carrying protection (“the kit”), and rides in a tinted Cybertruck. The line about “so much blue” suggests wealth, possibly even confusing gangs about his affiliations. He references designer brands, high-end jewelry, and video game-like cheat codes, comparing their lavish lifestyle to something unreal. The verse ends by highlighting her confidence—no one can compete with her.
