Snow Tha Product Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Snow White
I really cannot wrap my head around the fact it's
Taken me this long to finally realize I'm fantastic
I used to write my little raps
They'd always look right past it
Like it's average
Like bitch, what's happenin'? (What's happenin'?)
Porque yo tengo el "Je ne sais quoi", ah
Flow que mata, ah
"El que dirá", a mí me vale, critica
Yo soy la fuckin' mexicana (Ah)
Muy honesta la chava (¡Juh!)
Yo no ando con pendejadas
Aquí rifan las barras (Crash, crash)
A mí me dijo mi madre (Ja, ja)
Que yo nunca me raje
Que no hable el que no sabe
Nosotros somos de calle
Hasta en mi territorio yo traigo llave y se abre
Lo que quiero yo tengo (Ja)
Ah, punto y aparte
Plus, I got a bitch in my DM's
Talkin' 'bout where her man, did I see him?
Talkin' 'bout he comment pics that I be in
I just tell my friends y se ríen
Bitch, I "Jaja" con jota
"Hahaha" with the 'J'
I speak English and Spanish
I'm bi-lingual all day
Fuck Trump, wait, oops, that slipped out
Man, I never know who's in this crowd
Need a prayer and a crucifix now
Never really know who shoot this bitch down
Ni de aquí ni de allá
A mí me gustan los dos
Mucha crema a tus tacos
Y se te quema el arroz
Hola, ¿qué tal? (-al)
Dime cómo están (-án)
Yo ni soy de aquí ni soy de allá, ah (Soy de allá)
Hola, ¿qué tal? (-al)
Dime cómo están (-án)
Yo sí soy de aquí y soy de allá
Una horchata y dos de lengua
(Yah, yah, yah)
Un-Una horchata y dos de lengua (Y dos de lengua)
(Yah, yah)
Look
Una horchata y dos de lengua
Va a estar duro que a mí me paren
Yo soy desmadrosa de a madres
Yo tengo a mis primos con jales
Tengo influencias en varios canales
Yo speak Spanish y speak English
Yo vendo CDs and DVDs
Yo soy muy cara, tú eres cheapy
¿Tás' en mi camino? Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep
Get the fuck up out my way
Esos weyes know my name
Quieron qué yo me dé
Pero ya reté a los United States
Y parece que alguien la trae contra mí
Porque de mi parte parece que ni los de allá me quieren, ni tampoco acá
Que porque soy mujer y tan fenomenal
Y si quieren líneas, yo traigo un costal
And if you want some dope
I'll give it to you, non stop
Porque tengo barras y hasta tengo de má'
Por eso la disquera me quiso acabar
Pero me zafé, y se me zafó
Se va poner bien porque vengo yo
Búscame en la red como el pez Nemo
Tengo varios años con el mismo flow; soy Snow
Hola, ¿qué tal?
Dime, ¿cómo están?
Yo ni soy de aquí ni soy de allá (Soy de allá)
Hola, ¿qué tal? (-al)
Dime, ¿cómo están? (-án)
Yo sí soy de aquí y soy de allá
Una horchata y dos de lengua
Un-Una horchata y dos de lengua
Una horchata y dos de lengua
Ah, ya; ah, ya; ah, ya
Bitch I "Jaja" con jota, "Hahaha" with the J
I speak English and Spanish
I'm bi-lingual all day, okay
The song "Bilingue" by Snow Tha Product is an anthem for multi-lingual people everywhere. It's a song that embraces the duality of cultural identity and owning the fact that you are neither from here nor there, but instead, belong everywhere. In the opening verse, Snow Tha Product confesses that she's only just realized her own greatness despite her talent for making music. She reflects on how her raps always used to get overlooked as average and how people didn't recognize her true talent. However, she has now come to understand that she is fantastic, and her "flow que mata" (killing flow) and unique "je ne sais quoi" that make her an exceptional talent.
The song is sung predominantly in Spanish, and Snow Tha Product unapologetically embraces her Mexican heritage, using expressions such as "muy honesta chica" (very honest girl) and "a mi me vale" (I don't care what others say). Snow Tha Product also holds nothing back in expressing her feelings towards Donald Trump with "Fuck Trump, wait, oops, that slipped out"; this line highlights the political climate in the USA and Snow's refusal to shy away from expressing her views. The song is a testament to owning your identity, using your multiple languages, and being proud of your culture.
