Verse 1

You say that you wasted your time

You didn't waste your time

You lost your memory because of everything I did for you

Who is going to believe your story?

Let the world know, speak the truth

That I left my career to give you a career

I stopped being happy so that you could be happy

You tell me that I was dead, and you came, and you brought me back to life

That made me laugh, you're good at jokes

There's a big difference between you and me

I always was your partner, I was never your competition

I have gold, platinum, plenty of number-one hits

And before I met you, you didn't have any

Remember that the day that I buried your grandmother you didn't waste your time

The three-hundred-thousand-dollar SUV, you didn't waste your time

The apartment that I bought, you never wasted your time

And the watch that you show every day never loses time

You have to have more respect

I'm not rubbing your lack of gratitude in your face

It kills me inside, sometimes I cry and can't sleep

Hoping that one day your gratitude will come

But up there, there is a God who sees everything

Who knows that when I met you

You were insecure about how you look

I loved you right-side up, I loved you upside-down

I loved you chubby, but that's how I loved you

You call me 'rat', your girl calls me 'dad'

Because I gave her the love that her father doesn't give her

I call her 'Cattamilly' and I really love her

And I hope that she's never bad, like her mom

I miss her a lot and I want to call her

To see if she needs something and how I can help her

And even though I don't have her blood, I know my place

And before saying 'mom', she called me 'dad'

Chorus 1

Broken hearts, the blame is on us

Because we were very toxic, a crazy love

I don't want messages or calls

What you say is worth nothing

I don't want lies because you deceive me

Take off the mask from your face

Verse 2

Alofoke told you that you had no talent

Alofoke (Santiago Matías) is a Dominican record producer

And now you hang out with him like an instrument

The damage that he did to us at that moment

When he arrived in Miami and we lit him up

You say that you hang out with black guys and that doesn't matter to me

Be it Black, be it Latino, they don't even reach my feed

I'd leave the videos and the police would take care of it

In New York, if I recorded, it was with my gang

The thing is, you hang out with people who robbed you of 1.3 million, April 19

Maybe this business you don't understand

You signed the contract and they robbed you, I'm the one who invests

I confess, it hurt me

When I saw you live singing Anuel's songs

The same one who got you pregnant and then left you

And he started dedicating songs to his ex

I'm going to be honest with you, I disappeared because I couldn't endure it

Of all the mistreatment, baby, I got tired

I see you on social media, how pretty you look

I wish you the best wherever you are

Chorus 2

Broken hearts, the blame is on us

Because we were very toxic, a crazy love

I don't want messages or calls

What you say is worth nothing

I don't want lies because you deceive me

Take off the mask from your face

acomplejabas — you felt insecure / you had complexes

Acomplejabas comes from the verb acomplejar, meaning 'to make someone feel insecure' or 'to have complexes'. It's a less common and more nuanced verb than everyday words, making it interesting and memorable.

In the song, 6ix9ine tells his ex-partner, "Que cuando te conocí, te acomplejabas de cómo te ves" (When I met you, you felt insecure about how you looked). This reveals a deeper emotional context, showing how he perceived her vulnerabilities and his role in her life, making it a powerful and enticing word for a learner.

If you love celebrity drama packed into a rap song, you need to hear "Respuesta" ("Answer"). 6ix9ine teams up with Cuban singer Lenier to fire back at his ex after a messy breakup, and he does not hold anything back. His ex claims that being with him was a waste of time, but 6ix9ine snaps back right away: "Tú no perdiste el tiempo, tú perdiste la memoria" ("You didn't waste time, you lost your memory"). He starts listing every single receipt, reminding her of the 300k luxury SUV ("la Jeepeta de trescientos"), the apartment he bought, paying for her grandmother's funeral, and even pausing his own career to help boost hers. In Caribbean Spanish, "sacar en cara" means throwing favors in someone's face, and while he claims "No te estoy sacando en cara tu mal agradecimiento" ("I'm not throwing your ungratefulness in your face"), that is exactly what the entire track does.

Things get even more personal when he mentions her daughter, singing that while the mom calls him a rat ("rata"), the little girl calls him "papá" ("dad"). Then comes the industry shade. He name-drops Dominican media mogul Alofoke, calling him out for using her after previously claiming she had no talent. He also admits it stung to watch her sing songs by her ex Anuel: "El mismo que te embarazó y luego te dejó" ("The same one who got you pregnant and then left you"). Despite all the venom, petty barbs, and talk of their toxic romance ("fuimos bien tóxicos"), he wraps up by telling her to drop the mask ("quítate la máscara") and simply walking away from the calls, lies, and mistreatment.
