Chorus 1

Today I got paid and also today I'm going to blow it

I'm not even going to ask the price

Smoking in Gucci, nobody's gonna notice

I'm unstoppable, they have to put up with me

Or: I'm annoying, they have to put up with (my bad behavior)

Because today I got paid and today also I'm going to spend it

I'm not even going to ask the price

Smoking in Gucci, nobody's gonna notice

I'm unstoppable, they have to put up with me

Verse 1

Keep hyping yourselves up, 'cause you're going to get tired

I'm still taking hits, I don’t plan to pass it

I can count the real ones with one hand

I’ve got the fake ones in my sights, it's a matter of pulling

... it's a matter of pulling (the trigger)

And we gave it to Curry and Klay

They fell, Golden State

Verse 1

And look at me, motherf*cker, now I'm Ray

And in Miami, I'm LeBron with the 6

Casiano in Puerto Rico in '96

I don't understand what you're saying, what do you say?

I understood it

You're flexing on me with a girl I already slept with

I went to the Billboards, to the Grammys, and I didn't see you

I'm a legend, nobody has risen like I rose

A million per show, damn, I'm already gone

Tell them to get me another passport

You put on the pressure, but in the courtroom

Tell Pedro Navaja to be careful with me and not get cut

That there's nobody who can stand me

And I don't wear bling anymore

But if I feel like it, I’ll deck myself out with the whole North Pole

Engancharse is 'to hang on oneself' (chains/ice); North Pole = ice = diamonds. The phrase 'hang the whole North Pole on me' keeps the icy word-play

Number one, Billboard already sent the report

I see them from afar and none of them have the swagger

To be a star

They follow my steps, but they don't fill my footprint

Or: They all follow in my footsteps, but can't match what I do

They know that I'm in the club

When they see more than a hundred bottles pass by

Chorus 2

Because today I got paid and today also I'm going to spend it

I'm not even going to ask the price

Smoking in Gucci, nobody's gonna notice

I'm unstoppable, they have to put up with me

Because today I got paid and today also I'm going to spend it

I'm not even going to ask the price

Smoking in Gucci, nobody's gonna notice

I'm unstoppable, they have to put up with me

engancho — I hang / I put on

Engancho comes from the verb enganchar (to hook, to hang). While a common verb, Bad Bunny uses it as part of a brilliant and over-the-top boast.

He says "me engancho to' el polo norte" (I'll hang the whole North Pole on me), using 'the North Pole' as a metaphor for wearing an absurd amount of diamond jewelry, also known as 'ice'. This creative wordplay is a perfect example of the clever, modern slang you'll discover in his music.

In "HOY COBRÉ", Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny drops an all-out flex anthem about getting paid and blowing through that cash immediately. The title literally means "Today I got paid", and he wastes no time setting the tone: "Hoy cobré y hoy mismo lo voy a explotar / El precio ni voy a preguntar" ("Today I got paid and today I'm going to blow it all / I'm not even going to ask the price"). He talks about smoking inside a Gucci store without care and laughs at the people who have to put up with his success ("estoy burlado, me tienen que soportar").

The verses turn into a rapid-fire celebration of his status, packed with sports names and street references. He compares his dominance to NBA greats, calling himself "Ray" (Allen) and "LeBron con el 6" ("LeBron with number 6" in Miami), while shouting out legendary Puerto Rican basketball star Eddie Casiano from 1996 ("Casiano en P.R. pa'l 96"). Between charging "un millón por show" ("a million per show") and warning fictional salsa gangster Pedro Navaja to watch his step, Bad Bunny treats the whole track like a victory lap where he buys a hundred bottles at the club just because he can.
