Nelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Todos me saludan por que estoy en la mía
Me siento bien rica por que estoy en la mira
Hablo como hablo salte de mi vía
Soy una perra
Hablo como perra
Camino como perra
Y chingo como perra
Mmmm a tu gato que me amarre
Soy una perra
Hablo como perra
Camino como perra
Y chingo como perra
Mmmm si no te gusta no me hable
Mmmm a tu gato que me amarre
Daaammmm who that niggga
Soy la que rompe bocina
Tengo 10 botellas de tequila
Ando con amigas toas son fina
Roleta en la muñeca
Aquí no meten feka
Andamos flotando
En otra liga
Roleta en la muñeca
Aquí no meten feka
Andamos flotando
En otra liga
Soy una perra
Hablo como perra
Camino como perra
Y chingo como perra
Mmmm si no te gusta no me hable
Mmmm a tu gato que me amarre
Soy una perra
Hablo como perra
Camino como perra
Y chingo como perra
Mmmm si no te gusta no me hable
Mmmm a tu gato que me amarre
Tú querías una perra mala mala
Tú pediste un culo grande
Pa cagarte en la madre
Pa darle to el día
No necesita saliva
siempre mojadita
Si no comes no repita
Quiero un polvo
5 figures 5 figures
Rico Rico
Un papi que me lo diga
Si se viene que me bendiga
Fumando gasolina
To el día to el día
Me gusta el dinero fácil
Tengo carro no uso taxi
Rompiendo la ley
Se me hace fácil
Los diamantes brillan
Ya casi ni hablo
Si la tienes aqui la tienes
Aqui no venga fronteando
Salgo pa la calle y todos me miran
Todos me saludan por que estoy en la mía
Me siento bien rica por que estoy en la mira
Hablo como hablo salte de mi vía
Soy una perra
Hablo como perra
Camino como perra
Y chingo como perra
Mmmm si no te gusta no me hable
Mmmm a tu gato que me amarre
Soy una perra
Hablo como perra
Camino como perra
Y chingo como perra
Mmmm si no te gusta no me hable
Mmmm a tu gato que me amarre
The song "LA" by Nelly is an energetic and self-assured anthem about a woman who knows who she is and is unapologetic about it. In the lyrics, she describes herself as a "perra" (which can be translated to "bitch" in English) and uses this term as a means of empowerment, rather than as an insult. She walks, talks, and acts like a "perra" and is proud of it. She is also unafraid to speak her mind and tells those who don't like it to stay out of her way, or to let their cat tie her down.
The lyrics also describe the lifestyle that this confident woman leads. She has money, parties with her friends, and enjoys the finer things in life, like tequila and diamond jewelry. She also values sexual pleasure, and isn't shy about expressing her desires. However, she sets boundaries and expects her partners to respect them.
Overall, "LA" is a song about embracing one's true self, taking control of one's life, and enjoying the freedom to live without shame or apology. It's a bold and unapologetic celebration of feminine power and autonomy.
