Todo Por Billetes Lyrics in English by Big Soto, Neutro Shorty, Santa Fe Klan

Billetes literally translates to "bills" (as in banknotes), but in this context, it's a common slang term for "money" or "cash."

Big Soto uses this word repeatedly in the song's title and chorus, "Todo Por Billetes" (Everything For Money), to emphasize the central theme of hustling and striving for wealth in a challenging environment. It's a key word that encapsulates the song's narrative about ambition and survival.

Big Soto, Neutro Shorty, and Santa Fe Klan bring us a hard-hitting track about life on the streets and the relentless pursuit of money. From the jump, Big Soto tells us, "Yo soy de la calle, Yo crecí en la calle" [I am from the street, I grew up on the street], setting the scene for a life shaped by tough realities. He talks about the constant danger, saying, "La muerte se acerca es demasiado tarde" [Death is approaching, it's too late], but also about loyalty to his crew, his "perros" [dogs], who keep him from feeling fear.

The song is all about ambition and getting rich, no matter what. Big Soto declares, "No voy a parar hasta tener mas de un millón" [I won't stop until I have more than a million], dreaming of money in the bank and under his mattress. He even jokes about his past, saying, "A los 14 mi primer delito" [At 14, my first crime]. It's a blunt look at a life where money drives everything, and he's not apologizing for it, even if it means facing consequences. As he puts it, "Si el infierno es mi castigo yo no estoy arrepentido" [If hell is my punishment, I'm not sorry].
