BENE – Favelas (English lyrics)
1st verse :
I count the money late at night, pistachio colored money
She told me “I love you”, I think she’s in love
I grab some weed from around the corner, I’m smoking
I don’t know who you are nor what it is that you want, go fuck your mother
QLF N’DA
Favelas Favelas Favelas
I’m strapped up before coming of age, these are the favelas
Favelas Favelas Favelas
I’m strapped up before coming of age, these are the favelas
I just kept counting the money
Look at the state of my hands, too much dirty money
I wasn’t given any other choice in order to buy my clothes
I sell Bayda (X2)
Chorus :
Favelas Favelas Favelas
Give me money or I’ll make war to you in the favelas
Favelas Favelas Favelas
Give me money or I’ll make war to you in the favelas
Favelas Favelas Favelas
Give me money and I’ll take you for a spin around the favelas
Favelas Favelas Favelas
Give me money and I’ll take you for a spin around the favelas
2nd verse :
And I had to count the money money money money money money
And I had to count the money money money money money money
And I had to count the money money money money money money
And I had to count the money money money money money money
Favelas Favelas Favelas
I’m strapped up before coming of age these are the favelas
I did so much wrong contained in a ziplock
I was all alone on the wrong path
I did so much wrong contained in a ziplock
I was all alone on the wrong path
Bridge :
Favela, Favela, I count the money late at night
Favela, I count the money
Favela, pistachio colored
Favela, I count the money late at night
Favela, I count the money
Favela, pistachio colored
Favela
Chorus :
Favelas Favelas Favelas
Give me money and I’ll take you for a spin around the favelas
Favelas Favelas Favelas
Give me money and I’ll take you for a spin around the favelas
