Kendrick Lamar's "Money Trees," featuring Jay Rock, is a poignant reflection on wealth, ambition, and the complexities of success. The song's evocative imagery and layered metaphors make it a rich subject for lyrical analysis. This translation aims to capture the essence of the original English lyrics while maintaining their poetic quality.

Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar

(Original English): I been on my grind since a youngin' (Translation): He estado trabajando duro desde joven.

(Original English): Been tryna make a name for myself, before they call me nothin' (Translation): He estado intentando hacerme un nombre, antes de que me llamen nada.

(Original English): Used to sell that dope, now I'm sellin' hope (Translation): Solía vender droga, ahora vendo esperanza.

(Original English): Now I'm sippin' somethin' smooth, watchin' my money grow (Translation): Ahora estoy bebiendo algo suave, viendo crecer mi dinero.

(Original English): From the bottom to the top, watch how the money flow (Translation): Desde abajo hasta arriba, mira cómo fluye el dinero.

This opening verse immediately establishes the central theme: the journey from poverty and illicit activities to financial success. The contrast between "dope" and "hope" is particularly striking, symbolizing the transformation Kendrick Lamar's character undergoes. The use of vivid verbs like "sippin'" and "watchin'" creates a strong sense of sensory experience.

Chorus: Jay Rock

(Original English): Money trees is the equivalent of the blues (Translation): Los árboles de dinero son el equivalente de la tristeza.

(Original English): These money trees is the equivalent of the blues (Translation): Estos árboles de dinero son el equivalente de la tristeza.

(Original English): These money trees is the equivalent of the blues (Translation): Estos árboles de dinero son el equivalente de la tristeza.

(Original English): Money trees is the equivalent of the blues (Translation): Los árboles de dinero son el equivalente de la tristeza.

The chorus introduces the powerful metaphor of "money trees." While seemingly representing wealth and abundance, the comparison to the blues highlights the bittersweet nature of success. The repetition emphasizes the weight of this paradox.

Further Analysis:

The rest of the song continues to explore the complex relationship between money, success, and the lasting impact of past experiences.

A full translation would require examining each verse and its nuances in detail. However, this initial segment provides a foundation for understanding the song's core message and poetic imagery. The overall feeling is one of both triumph and introspection, making "Money Trees" a powerful example of Kendrick Lamar's lyrical prowess.
