MY SHORTY Lyrics – JC Reyes, De La Ghetto

MY SHORTY Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone of the song, introducing the girl as “shorty,” which is a slang term for a special girl or girlfriend. The artists express affection, calling her “my baby” and emphasizing how important she is to them. The vibe is smooth and catchy, preparing the listener for a song that’s all about admiration, attraction, and a luxurious lifestyle shared with this special girl.

[Chorus Meaning (Estribillo – JC Reyes)]
The chorus talks about living a “movie-like” life with his girl, meaning everything feels exciting, like an action-packed film. However, he doesn’t want her posting anything online, keeping their relationship and lifestyle private. She is drawn to powerful and street-savvy men, and “la forty” (a slang for a .40 caliber gun) symbolizes the tough, gangster image she likes. This part reflects the mix of romance and the street culture that defines their world—love, danger, and a life of luxury all wrapped into one.

[Verse 1 Meaning (JC Reyes)]
This verse dives deeper into wealth and status. The artist mentions expensive brands like Audemars Piguet (a luxury watch brand) and talks about spending money freely. He refers to eliminating rivals or fake friends who were once around but are now gone. The verse also mentions making money, stacking bills, and enjoying luxury—drinking Moët champagne, packaging illicit goods, and being in control. He admires how attractive his girl looks while enjoying this lifestyle, emphasizing how money and power make everything even more intense. The lyrics highlight a world where success comes with both rewards and risks, but he’s fully embracing it.

[Verse 2 Meaning (De La Ghetto)]
De La Ghetto brings a confident and flashy energy. He starts by saying he’s throwing money at his girl, meaning he’s spoiling her while enjoying a drink. He’s captivated by her dancing and physical appearance. The girl is in her prime, looking better than ever, and she knows it. He describes her as a “bad girl” who comes from the streets but lives a rich lifestyle. The lyrics also reference street culture, luxury, and power—he drives a Cybertruck, wears expensive jewelry, and even gang references come into play (like “Bloods” and “Creeps,” referring to rival gangs). He also compares their life to a video game, implying that they live fast, dangerously, and without limits. This verse reinforces the theme of wealth, attraction, and dominance in the streets.

[Chorus Meaning (Estribillo – De La Ghetto)]
This chorus repeats the same idea from earlier—his girl enjoys the flashy, dangerous lifestyle, but he wants to keep things private. The thrill of their relationship is exciting, but it’s not for social media. The mention of “mafiosos” and “suvi” (powerful men with flashy cars and money) highlights the type of men she’s drawn to. “La forty” once again symbolizes the tough street image that is part of their world.

[Verse 3 Meaning (Ñengo Flow)]
Ñengo Flow describes his shorty as someone who stands out from the rest—beautiful, confident, and unmatched. He admires both her body and face, calling her explosive, meaning she has an intense presence. He playfully says she should “give him poison,” implying she’s dangerously attractive. Their passion is wild, and he enjoys their intimate moments to the fullest. He also praises her confidence and how she’s better than other women. The references to fire and sharpness suggest that she’s fierce and unstoppable. The verse blends desire, admiration, and street toughness, showing that their relationship is built on attraction and power.

[Outro]
The outro brings the song to a close by reinforcing the main themes. They refer to the girl as their “baby” and repeat that she’s into the street lifestyle. Mentions of Spain and Puerto Rico highlight the collaboration between JC Reyes (from Spain) and the Puerto Rican artists. The phrase “Real G4 Life” is Ñengo Flow’s signature, representing real gangsters and loyalty. The song ends with the same flashy, confident energy, celebrating the excitement of their lifestyle while keeping certain things private.
