Compañero English Translation Lyrics by Cyril Kamer
It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes
I fell in love with making money (Yeah) with my first love (Woh)
Or covering up holes (Yeah), my pain is my cure (Woh)
I don’t want companions (Yeah), I don’t ask for favors (Woh)
‘Cause then the liars (Yeah) think they’re better
I see a lot fighting over my spot
And I’m just fighting to own my own house
Some take it as a joke, joke
But I only pay attention to what’s happening in my neighborhood
There’s no boss here
This isn’t America, but they’re all armed
As a kid, I couldn’t think about toys
At fifteen, I had to hustle for cash, cash
And I ended up in chains
People change, money transforms you
Friends who were genuine now seem different
They break the code, nobody respects rules anymore
No matter how much you give, some people are never satisfied
I fell in love with making money (Yeah) with my first love (Woh)
Or covering up holes (Yeah), my pain is my cure (Woh)
I don’t want companions (Yeah), I don’t ask for favors (Woh)
‘Cause then the liars (Yeah) think they’re better
Different faces, but they’re all the same
So many who are driven by material things
I’d like to as well, but I just can’t
I look out for my people, that’s what matters
Few people have loyalty
My best friend is the green of the hundreds
‘Cause they never change or leave if it suits them
My heart is cold ’cause that’s how it protects
From a kid who’s here for what they came for
I don’t know who’s who anymore
I have people who love me and some who hate me too (Oh-oh)
Though it’s not okay anymore
I’m always grateful for my own, amen
I fell in love with making money (Yeah) with my first love (Woh)
Or covering up holes (Yeah), my pain is my cure (Woh)
I don’t want companions (Yeah), I don’t ask for favors (Woh)
‘Cause then the liars (Yeah) think they’re better
I fell in love with making money (Yeah) with my first love
Or covering up holes, my pain is my cure
I don’t want companions, I don’t ask for favors
‘Cause then the liars think they’re better
