redenção

Power, power, everyone from the hood dreams of having one day
What to do? When the condition doesn't favor
While some pursue with much study and work
Many kids around here prefer to take shortcuts
Forget my family, forget my life, forget my freedom
I'm tired of misery, I'll make my way like many from the hood do
I entered the game, believe me, I didn't come to lose
Maybe prepared to kill or die
That shirt I dreamed of wearing, those shoes I dreamed of putting on
Now belong to me, man, can't even believe it
If anyone messes around, the block is crowded
If I need to unload, I pull the trigger and nothing happens
The party goes on without mercy, no shortage of hot women or drugs
They say crime doesn't pay anymore but my life is much better now
Being respected in the hood is what matters
So just give me one reason, man, to get out of this

Another brother dreaming of being someone, loses track between good and evil
Not everything that glitters is gold, brother, seek redemption
Another brother dreaming of being someone, loses track between good and evil
Not everything that glitters is gold, brother, seek redemption

I'm shocked by the things I've seen in the hood
Young girls prostituting themselves and walking around drugged
Many guys overdosed have already passed away
Sometimes I even feel a bit guilty
What the hell, I never forced anyone to use
Want to kill yourself? Give me the money, sucker, and go die over there
Bitches are trouble, I already know that
Because of one, a friend of mine died all shot up
So, a bunch of cops are itching to arrest me
A bunch of enemies want to see my blood spill
What the hell is this, man, what am I doing?
I'm messing up, my family is suffering
Imagine my kid smoking a joint with a gun on his waist
Abandoned without a father in the hood exchanging shots with the cops
No, that's not what I want, man, I want to stop
To be an example for my son to be proud of me
In the hood, watch out, I have a bad feeling
The undercover cops have taken over the movement

I need to be a man, I need to pass the test, I need to believe in Psalm 27
Enough of drugs and scams, I want to be at peace, God willing, no more detention

To exchange darkness for the light of good, that's what liberates and elevates you
Those who have God in their hearts find redemption
To exchange darkness for the light of good, that's what liberates and elevates you
Those who have God in their hearts find redemption
