MONEY TILL I DIE Lyrics in English by Kidd Keo
Afeitar means “to shave,” referring to removing facial hair with a razor. In the song, Kidd Keo says “estoy sin afeitar” (“I haven’t shaved”), adding to his deliberately rough, unpolished image.
“MONEY TILL I DIE” is a loud, funny, and determined money anthem. Kidd Keo describes himself as unshaven, dirty, carrying “veinte de los grandes y mary para fumar” [twenty thousand and marijuana to smoke], and ready to leave for anywhere. He says outside opinions will not change him, and gives credit to trap music for the life he has now. The song then jumps between street memories and luxury: moving “big bags” with his friends, getting paid for features, driving a Ferrari at 200, and arriving in a Bentley. “Hunnids” means hundreds, usually hundreds of dollars, while “big racks” means a lot of money. The contrast is the point: he remembers the block, but now he is turning that hustle into music and cash.
The chorus is wonderfully direct: “All I want is money, money ’til I die” [all I want is money until I die]. He repeats that he wants to keep making money and will achieve it even if “the whole world” disagrees. In the second verse, “I’m getting paid for a feature” means other artists pay him to appear on their songs, and “cheese” is slang for money. He also says he is still in the same place and active with his gang, so success has not separated him from his people. The English and Spanish switch quickly, matching the song’s confident, restless energy. Its message is simple and blunt: keep moving, make money, enjoy the rewards, and let the doubters talk.
