Passionflower, strange and beautiful like the passion fruit
|
My flower is Florbela and it beats your duck
|
It doesn't surprise me if this generation doesn't reach me and I say
|
For this fauna, like Flora, I'll just «let it shine»
|
I go without guilt, I'm an adult and very cultured to please
|
I'm in the fight and in the dispute it doesn't cost me to dominate!
|
If it were easy, there were many, if it was sweet, they would be more
|
I don't conform neither to the pay, nor to the blessing of others
|
They prefer discs that haven't come out yet
|
They prefer promises from those who gave up
|
They prefer the myths of what could have been
|
Of what they could have done, of what they wanted to have heard
|
They prefer the dead, they get fed up with the living
|
They get fed up with records, they prefer videos
|
They want us tame, bred, unsuccessful
|
If we are not sold, we are little alternative
|
And if a new record comes out, they ask when the next one is
|
And then after that: «Why the pseudonym?»
|
And it's obvious, pearls from pigs
|
With the beasts ready, just to chew you...
|
'I'm fed up with snobs who say aesthetes
|
With disco porter syndrome
|
I'm not cool for these cynics, nor new for these critics
|
Looking for tadpoles from new indigenous scenes
|
Fed up with known pseudo-prophets
|
«Júlio Isidros» of these rare discoveries
|
I'm not a teen for these kids, I don't even care about these groups
|
Those who dictate the future of the world, are 'to the antipodes
|
Legends are said when the legends are us
|
And they don't know that in history, not even seeing them, we will be alone
|
And then the Puritans, who disdain the success
|
And after so many years they defend themselves in the beginning
|
And that I know my time and to whom I say that what I do
|
It's the same as always, it's classic hip hop
|
And I don't disguise that I take it to a new audience
|
That I hug and receive with pride
|
And that hip hop I want for the future
|
It will not be conservative, nor sexist, nor stupid!
|
That's why they surprise me, because I get in
|
Out of the box, Passionflower, I keep myself!
|
So catch me, if you can
|
I run away from the rule because the rule restricts me!
|
And if I walk away, it will not be a presumption
|
The distance between us is just the comparison...
|
I didn't make summer hits and it's not because I don't know how
|
I'm not the scene of the moment and at the time I'm at the top
|
Don't confuse good taste with lack of audience
|
And enjoy this record because it could be your last!
|
On the net the newness is a trix, it says:
|
If you've been doing this for years, is it risky that you live?
|
Selfies get more likes than a disc, tell me:
|
Why do you do this, why do you insist?
|
If it's trap, it's not rap, if it's hit, it takes hate
|
Boom bap is a setback, if it's a success, it's fake
|
If there are kids, throw them out, if you don't have views, it's a flop
|
If you're an adult, it's already quota, transversal is not hip hop
|
“Is it known? |
I don't like it anymore, I liked the first one more.»
|
«It's repeated or it changes a lot, it's not worth the money»
|
If you were more beautiful, sexier, trendy
|
Or a man, younger, more within the norm
|
You would have more reach, more chance in the industry
|
If you were more docile, easier in music?
|
You would have more views, more likes, more audience
|
If you were more hipster, if you were more stupid?
|
Would you have more fans, more buzz, more glory?
|
Why the hype if I prefer to make history?
|
Passionflower, my beauty is strange
|
My fado cries, but it moves mountains
|
I offer my voice
|
flower that gives
|
strange and beautiful
|
Like passion fruit
|
I offer my voice
|
flower that gives
|
strange and beautiful
|
Like passion fruit |
