That if I do, it's to stay in the local spotlightQue si lo hago, e' pa' mantenerme en la palestra local

And I see a billboard with Mozart's picture on the wayY veo una valla con la foto de Mozart en el camino
I got distracted looking at the billboard, the jealousy hit meMe distraje viendo la valla, el celo me estralló
