Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Con Dinero Baila El Perro by Peso Pluma from Spanish to English.
A veces llego a pensar
Sometimes I start to think
Como envidian los corrientes
how the lowlifes envy
Cuando no traes nada, ni se arriman y cuando sí, llegan en caliente
When you got nothing they stay away, but when you do they roll up quick
No estoy pa' fanfarronear
I'm not here to brag
Y si tiran me defiendo
And if they shoot, I fight back
No estoy pa' darles razones a hocicones o a esos perritos hambrientos
I'm not giving reasons to loudmouths or those hungry pups
Unos solitos se van
Some leave on their own
Pero esos no los ocupas
But you don't need them
La lealtad vale más que el dinero que te gastaste en tu nueva blusa
Loyalty's worth more than the cash you blew on a new blouse
Hambre, pasé
I went hungry
Pero aquí sigo de frente a los vergazos le atoré
But I'm still here, I took the hits head-on
Yo sé, saldré
I know I'll get out
Adelante y a mi gente nunca la defraudaré
Moving forward and I'll never disappoint my people
Voy pa' arriba no me paran y un gallón me quita estrés
I'm going up, they can't stop me, and a gallon kills my stress
Si la lengua soltaras
If you let your tongue loose
Ten cuidado a lo que digas
Watch what you say
Atente a las consecuencias tus palabras mide bien y no seas niña
Face the fallout, weigh your words, and don't be a little girl
A muchos les dolerá
It'll hurt many
Lo que digo, pero es cierto
What I say, but it's true
Individuos convenientes lo que digo es
Opportunistic people, here's what I mean
Con dinero baila el perro
Money makes the dog dance
Fumando pura white widow
Smoking pure White Widow
Es como nos relajamos
That's how we chill
Y playera 77 en las bocinas en mi carro van zumbando
And 'Playera 77' is buzzing in my car speakers
Hambre, pasé
I went hungry
Pero aquí sigo de frente a los vergazos le atoré
But I'm still here, I took the hits head-on
Yo sé, saldré
I know I'll get out
Adelante y a mi gente nunca la defraudaré
Moving forward and I'll never disappoint my people
Voy pa' arriba no me paran y un bongazo pa' el estrés
I'm going up, they can't stop me, and a bong hit for the stress
