Nota Loca also means drunk as hell, thats probably what they mean in the song. Coger una nota is to get drunk

it literally means gimmie light (i knew that) but there's a slang meaning for it. and i can't really explain crazy note. you just gotta know what those two words mean

what does hace rato mean in the phrase "tengo el enemigo mamando hace rato"? I understand "I've got the enemy sucking" but not the rest. does it mean for a long time or a while?
btw- dame luz (don't pronounce the z) mean "tell me"
ejemplo "dame lu donde tu vive" (thanks to a Dominican friend for that one
)

double meaning
is it Puerto Ricans that take a female duck to mean lesbian? I know it's somewhere where if you say pata, they're like oh hell naw. Ven aqui porque vamos a pelear, sabes?

hace rato is to complete goals... or overcome obstacles, kind've thing. so at that they can't get over it, or like, they get stuck... jesus so many different ways to say everything. but i think you get the point?

i said i learned what dame luz meant. it's just tell me. dame luz donde tu ta. i think it can pretty much replace dime and vice versa.

To me, "hace rato" means "for a while now". Like "Hace rato que te estoy esperando" ("I've been waiting for you for a while").
Maybe it's another Cuban thing.... don't trust my slang translations! I speak Spanish (Cuban and Mexican dialects), but I'm not all that up on the slang, which is why I'm reading here. Oye, que interesante!

That means move your a s s back. "Pa' tra" is just a short way of saying "para atras".

Yup.... Growing up in the central valley of CA then moving to KW really screws up ur words, just imagine trying to navigate ur way through Fresno speaking Cuban dilects, to mexican people, asking them where can I catch a bus? they look At you funny and turn around to you and say, " If you were a guy I would tell you the only way for you to do that would be at the muffler!!!!"
haha
