FRIKI Lyrics in English by Feid, Karol G
Requisar means "to check" or "to frisk," a word usually associated with police or security. It's a rare and attention-grabbing word to find in a song.
In "FRIKI," Feid uses it metaphorically to describe an intense and intimate encounter. The line "Luego me requisó como la policía" (Then she frisked me like the police) creates a powerful and playful image of being thoroughly "inspected" by a romantic partner, turning a serious word into a flirtatious and memorable one.
"FRIKI" drops you straight into the humid, chaotic heat of Medellín nightlife. Feid and Karol G kick things off right after getting paid: "Bajé para Medallo porque ya hicimos ticket" ("I went down to Medellín because we already made money"). Medallo is everyday Colombian slang for their hometown of Medellín, and making ticket means cashing out. From there, the whole track turns into a dark, sweat-soaked party where nobody cares what time it is ("No sabía si era de noche o si era de día" ["I didn't know if it was night or day"]). The chorus spells out the exact formula keeping everyone moving: driving around the city in an expensive ride (un maquinón), lighting up krippy (high-grade weed), and letting heavy reggaetón bring out their wildest side.
Things get delightfully bold and playful once they reach the dance floor. Karol G doesn't hold back when describing the physical heat of perreo (grinding), bluntly admitting "De tanto perrear ya nos sobra la ropa" ("From dancing so much, our clothes are getting in the way"). She even drops classic Colombian slang to describe how good a kiss tastes: "Qué chimba se siente su boca" (chimba is an all-purpose word in Colombia for something cool or amazing, so she means his mouth feels incredible). Feid matches her energy with absurdly blunt lines like turning around and asking, "Ese culito, ¿qué talla es?" ("That butt, what size is it?"). It is loud, unapologetically direct, and built purely for the joy of losing track of time in a packed club.
