Don Dinero Lyrics English Translation by Grupo Firme
(feat. Raúl Beltrán)
Girl, forgive me if I don’t answer
I’m out here stressed, chasing the money
It’s just that I promised my mom first
That her son ain’t gonna end up at zero
Friends, don’t get down if I couldn’t
Make it to the party y’all invited me to
It’s just that I stopped drinking for a while
But stay tuned, I’ll swing through in a bit
I’ve been thinking, I don’t wanna end up broke
The years don’t decide when you become a man
I didn’t get inheritances or handed-down cars
They’d buy me ice cream only when I begged hard enough
I don’t hold it against them or throw it in their face ’cause it’s true
Life ain’t the same for everybody and I accept
That you’re born poor, but you die however you want
The ride is free, but it don’t include the pleasures
Those cost you some cash, buddy
Gotta grind, ’cause nobody wants the broke one
Only Mr. Money
I’ve been having a mental war with myself
But I’m getting by, making a little progress
I thought it was already too late
But it’s worse to have never started
Sometimes I feel like I’m moving kinda slow
Especially when I compare myself
But I realized it’s all a process
Everybody’s got their own clock set
And I’m on my own time, not anybody else’s
We gotta focus more on what we’re good at
I know who I can count on since I got nothing
And who shows up when they smell barbecue
When I came asking for help, I know who gave
And I keep close the ones who put my name out there
Times change, the world spins a lot
We’ll see later who’s dodging who
Me, meanwhile, I’m focused on making money
And on working, ’cause for resting
I’ll have plenty of time when I’m dead
