In this chorus, Arcángel expresses confidence in his success and wealth. He repeats the phrase “We’re making money” to emphasize how far he’s come. The mention of riding a jet and being “way up” highlights his elevated status, both financially and socially. He also speaks about his ability to please women, suggesting that he’s more than capable of exciting his partner. The line “put on a coat because tonight you’re coming up” implies a lavish, exciting night ahead. Arcángel also brags about his dominance in the drug trade, selling more weed than small towns. He makes it clear he’s not interested in anyone interfering with what he’s earned, and his relationships are not bound by conventional norms, as he mentions a threesome with someone else’s girl.

Arcángel continues his boasting in this verse, emphasizing his humble beginnings from “La Calma,” but now he’s at the top. He calls out a competitor, questioning their ability to keep up with him.

[Interlude]
