Familia
Nicki Minaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my house, you made it personal
It's always trouble when they go too far
Nobody mention my familia
Father, father, could you bless his soul?
He talking crazy, I may lose control
It's always trouble when they go too far (Uah)
Nobody mention my familia (Anuel)
La lealtad vale más que el dinero (Oh-oh)
Y yo me vo' a morir leal y nunca como un traicionero (Oh-oh)
Yo hasta doy la vida por mi familia
Y que en paz descansen los que se mueren de envidia (Amén)
Y en la familia no se falla, pero si te traicionan (Uah)
No les das la espalda, tú lo ayuda' y perdona' (uah)
La familia primero (Oh-oh)
No lo compra el dinero, oh (Uah)
Real hasta la muerte, baby (Baby)
Real hasta la muerte, baby (Uah)
Yo nunca vo' a traicionarte
Y si tú te cae yo mismo vo' a levantarte, eh
Father, father, unforgivable (Brrr, Anuel)
This is my house, you made it personal
It's always trouble when they go too far
Nobody mention my familia
Father, father, could you bless his soul?
He talking crazy, I may lose control
It's always trouble when they go too far
Nobody mention my familia
Mmm, nobody pop off, nobody get murked
Nobody scream, it'll prolly get worse
Now I'm the curse, this is my terse
Before I kill 'em, I'ma torture them first
Mad, you keep, así yo soy bonita
But you about to need a prayer from a preacher
Eye of the tiger, faster than a cheetah
Hop out the spider, then it's hasta la vista
Dead line, now you a dead man for real
Dead man for real, dead man for real
Dead line, now you a dead man for real
Dead man for real, I tell you dead line for real
Dead line, now you a dead man for real
Dead man for real, dead man for real
Dead line, now you a dead man for real
Nobody mention my familia
Father, father, unforgivable
This is my house, you made it personal
It's always trouble when they go too far
Nobody mention my familia
Father, father, could you bless his soul?
He talking crazy, I may lose control
It's always trouble when they go too far
Nobody mention my familia
I'm on the edge, don't pull up on me
You pay the price, and that's a warning, oh-woah
Now you a dead man for real
Nobody mention my familia
This is my home, this is my city
If I go down, you coming with me, oh-woah
Now you a dead man for real
Nobody mention my familia
