Lírica

In urban music, this refers to song lyrics and the quality of a performer's wordplay or bars. Although it is a formal literary term for poetry, its street usage is a loanword from the English 'lyrics'.

Yo, I really have lírica and flow, not like those lunchboxes (a slang term for amateurs or rookies who lack skill).

S

The letter of the alphabet that many Latin American countries, especially the Dominican Republic, do not waste time pronouncing when it is not strictly necessary. It is skipped because it takes too long to say and sounds a bit strange to locals now (Dominican Spanish is characterized by the frequent omission or aspiration of the letter S at the end of syllables).

Maestro becomes Maetro, Muestra becomes Muetra, and Varias Personas becomes Varia pelsona. Conclusion: Dominicans save about 20 hours a year by not saying S and by speaking super fast.
