This is the story of a Brazilian mulatto
|
The trickery here in Rio de Janeiro
|
Pay attention to our story and see if you don't fall asleep at the point
|
For the story I'm going to tell first
|
I look for the oldest in the yards and drums
|
And so I get stronger, I face fears and my pain
|
In the world of money, there are no more values
|
They separate us by class, colors, slaves and masters, it's
|
Conquer my space
|
I look to the future without forgetting the past
|
Those who lower themselves just like that want to be elevated
|
They want us to be humble so that we can be humiliated
|
The street snakes, and how it snakes
|
But helping, which is good, nobody helps, it's bad
|
You like money, right? |
Imported car
|
VIP area bracelet and a whore on the side
|
I'm going from Ciata, the old guard of Portela
|
I'm talking about João do Vale, Zé Keti and Manacéia
|
I speak of simple things, I speak from my place
|
I speak about my people and popular culture
|
Keep looking
|
It's just that I fight and I don't give up
|
I fall and I don't see myself
|
I don't back down even in thought
|
I follow a movement that is natural to me
|
of cultural resistance |
I fight and I don't surrender
|
I fall and I don't see myself
|
I don't back down even in thought
|
I follow a movement that is natural to me
|
of cultural resistance
|
The bug really gets here in the stone jungle
|
I push you their garbage, did you hug? |
It's over
|
They make you a militant afraid of the military
|
They shit on ideology and throw ethics to the air
|
I'm a sinister kid, I surrender my sweat
|
From what I've seen, it just goes from bad to worse
|
Patience is short, ignorance is so much
|
You even kill a lion, but don't run away from tapirs
|
The street snakes, and how it snakes
|
But helping, which is good, nobody helps, it's bad
|
In the streets of this world, I just want to walk
|
Every time I take a step, the world moves out of place
|
Search your own life for the raw material
|
I can even fall, but I come back on top
|
Like a flame in a firewood, I ignite and consume
|
What I play becomes luxury, I leave the coal in smoke
|
And I sing
|
I fight and I don't surrender
|
I fall and I don't see myself
|
I don't back down even in thought
|
I follow a movement that is natural to me
|
of cultural resistance
|
I fight and I don't surrender
|
I fall and I don't see myself |
I don't back down even in thought
|
I follow a movement that is natural to me
|
of cultural resistance
|
Cultural resistance!

— So, remember me?
|
— Oh, I don't remember, my partner
|
— Maytor's cousin, you know?
|
— The thing is going out to steal these motherfuckers, brother. |
Stuff their faces
|
shooting, bro
|
— Well, since I've been telling you this, man. |
You are, fuck, stressed out, man.
|
That's what they want from us, you know? |
We have to break them differently,
|
We have to make art, smoke there, look. |
Are you connected?
|
— That's it then, I'm going to steal and I'm going to give you money to become an artist in this shit |
