Isso É Rio de Janeiro (feat. Jottx)

(This is what I'm understanding)
(I mean)
(He, the guy)
(Is an influencer)
(Who is actually a criminal)
(Criminal)
(There are still a million fools who follow the guy)
(Who think it's cool and share)
(Attention, here comes Chxtubx)
(Hmm, not a secret, huh)

This is Rio de Janeiro
Land of factions
Marvelous city
But only on television

In Rio to live
You have to be cunning
A lot of activity so you don't become a memory
The young one wanted to be a doctor
But it wasn't this time
It was a stray bullet
Died at 16

The media omitted
It hides the truth
Wants to call my community a slum
Climbing the hill
Police stopped me
I'm not a criminal
I'm a worker

I wake up at 5 in the morning to face a new challenge every day
In my bag, there's lunch, no cowardice here
The young one skipped school to chase kites
The fun ends when the police armored vehicle approaches

And the reality is different, crazy
The young one rebels and goes to the drug trade
But for those born in the favela, options are few (are few)
And there was no other choice

My reality is different, crazy
The young one rebels and goes to the drug trade
But for those born in the favela, options are few (are few)
And there was no other choice

(The stray bullet)
(It's the stray bullet)
(And, look, we're mourning)
(Tomorrow, Friday)
(We'll hold a march for my brother Thiaguinho)
(May God have him)

This is Rio de Janeiro
Land of factions
Marvelous city
But only on television

Changing my reality and those around me
Only those who have lost someone they love understand the revolt
The vision of improvement is never on the agenda
They want to see us turn to crime and die by the gun

The media only talks about us to create news
They'll have to see the young ones succeed where no one expects
There are talents shaped in alleys and lanes
There are many rare gems in the favela

Understand, who feels it
The mother of that young one who was innocent
Unfortunately, peace is not for sale
We have to change, that's a victory for us

Understand, who feels it
The mother of that young one who was innocent
Unfortunately, peace is not for sale
We have to change, that's a victory for us

There are never police operations in the Barra condominium
Workers in the favela are awakened by bullets
May God protect these children
From the evil of the State
I came to bring hope
That was forcibly taken away

This is Rio de Janeiro
Land of factions
Marvelous city
But only on television

(I'm outraged)
(With 1 million)
(Over 1 million people who follow a creature like that)
