Confissão (feat. Lena Baule)

That afternoon around 3 PM
They had AKMs, uniforms, and guns
We had just a little over, a little under 5 hours (for what?)
To urgently finalize the details
Of the concert that was gonna blow Gil Vicente to bits
It was set for 10 PM
The letter to the Minister of Culture was to be sent
And the premiere of the new video, man: The Pure Dynamite
But what we saw was pure cowardice
PRM agents invented a patrol
Ordered us out of the car and started searching
Sure they’d find what they were looking for
I was driving, Miguel and Maria
The whole production crew caught in that trap
In Miguel's pocket they found some weed
Wrapped in paper and started the slander

I’m gonna be judged, 'cause I didn’t bribe the cops
Not me, not me
I might even get convicted, but no, I didn’t bribe the cops
No, no

Before the slander came the blackmail
Republic cops, kings of thievery
They asked for cash to not call the press
From the TV stations and defame my image
They asked for my guts and the weight of my balls
It was too much weight for the law for their thugs
Neither Miguel nor I gave them anything
Careers threatened, but we didn’t give them shit
Hungry AKMs, but we didn’t give them shit
Minutes later we were taken to the station
Release order was given to us
Nothing, the amount of weed found
Nothing, it justified more than a laugh
Until two superiors showed up in the ambush
Each of them breathing arrogance
Ordered us arrested and handed me to the press
Stabbed!

I’m gonna be judged, 'cause I didn’t bribe the cops
Not me, not me
I might even get convicted, but no, I didn’t bribe the cops
No, no

Two days in jail was enough
To know that our cop negotiates our people
I’m gonna write a letter to the minister of those people
How do they wear the uniform under the influence of booze?
AKM in hand and a salary of suffering
Counting on the citizen to boost their pay
Or the recognition for arresting Mano Aza?
Lying to the press, saying I had the goods
And even the channel that barely plays my music
Putting me on the news for the whole country
It’s because of people that the truth isn’t public
After the trial, I didn’t see a single (no)
News about my acquittal
To everyone who supported me, thanks from the heart
To Miguel Cherba, the truth is never in vain
We’re in this shit together, this is where the confession ends

I’m gonna be judged, 'cause I didn’t bribe the cops
Not me, not me
I might even get convicted, but no, I didn’t bribe the cops
No, no

So, you have AKMs to keep the order, right?
You gotta have AKMs to demand better working conditions
You gotta have AKMs to demand your rights
But more than having AKMs, you gotta have education
Cops should be friends of the community, not the other way around
Happy February 3rd
Peace!
