AMG Lyrics in English by Natanael Cano, Peso Pluma, Gabito Ballesteros
Maleante comes from the root malo (bad) and is slang for a crook, thug, or someone who lives outside the law.
When Natanael Cano declares “Soy maleante y es lo que hay,” he’s proudly embracing a rebellious, street-wise image. It’s a vivid, memorable word you won’t see in a textbook—perfect for learners who want to pick up authentic, real-world Spanish.
In "AMG", Natanael Cano teams up with Peso Pluma and Gabito Ballesteros for a massive corrido tumbado track that is all about flexing hard-earned success. The song looks back at the grind with lines like "Claro que le batallé" (Of course I struggled) and "No soy el mismo que era ayer" (I am not the same person I was yesterday). Now, the rewards are everywhere. The title itself comes straight from the luxury SUV Natanael dreamed of owning: "Mercedes AMG, Clase G-63 / Lo que un día soñé / Todo ya me lo compré" (Mercedes AMG, G-Class 63 / What I once dreamed of / Now I bought it all). The artists roll through fast cars, private jets, popping champagne, and sightseeing from Mazatlán while rocking Nike sneakers.
Along with the high-life flexes, the lyrics keep a street-smart edge. The singers make it clear they keep score: "Muy bueno para las cuentas / Todo apunto en la libreta" (Very good with math / I write everything down in the notebook). They warn rivals with "la lista negra" (the blacklist) and stay on guard because "Los radios suenan y suenan / Pero yo siempre ando alerta" (The two-way radios keep ringing / But I always stay alert). It is a direct, brag-heavy track about trading past struggles for supercars and cash.
