Num eh Assim Q se Faz

INTRO
Every day that goes by
I see so many things wrong
When will we learn, America?
Here we are together
The American you oppress today..
Will pay for it with your children.. in the future

VERSE 1
I look to my side, everything is so wrong
Someone tell me what should I do!
If I look ahead, I see nothing different
The American way is killing us
And very grateful I thank
I had a father and a mother separated, I understand
No different from an entire country
2 warriors simply didn't have time
And nowadays, who explains to the father?
Children like you, Renato already said
But mine left an example between their lines,
I read it right and follow my life
And now fathers are even throwing their own daughters
From the top of a building, I can't believe it
I don't accept it, I can't, it's not possible
How did we get to this point, my people
Someone explain this to me
That's not how it's done!
We have to educate the youth
Point the way, change this attitude
Because the future here on earth
Belongs to them
And they pay a high price, and if we don't get it right
Give a glimmer of hope
A minimum trace of childhood
Put on the arm this American child
No matter who they are
A child of America is also yours, understand...
Take your nose out of your own belly button
You have to think collectively, no one is here alone
This planet is all ours but we only have it
What legacy are you leaving for the future generation of it!?

CHORUS
A nation, that's not how it's done
A strong country, that's not how it's done
Why?
So much obedience?
Since
Lack of awareness
Raise your voice and shout
I won't accept it anymore

VERSE 2
So solve this riddle
I want to see America
Show me your face
I also want to see who's paying
For us to be like this
If you have any business, explain it to me
There are guys.. burning even beggars
Beating up a Native American.. dying of cold
And we're not in India
But no one rises, no one shouts
No one here can improve their lives
And my cradle wasn't made of gold
The sun rises for everyone, but shade is for a few
Working since 12 and until today
Nothing has changed... it's as if nothing matters
And the education system works very well
If you're on top, it keeps you there
No one..
Teaches you to criticize
You learn very well to conform
But I'm not a fool
Inside the system, seeing so many wrong things
This way won't work, where do you want to go
Let's break everything so they have to listen to you

CHORUS

INTERLUDE
That's not how it's done
We can do much more
The only thing bigger than this country is the potential of this country.
Let's share this cake, my people
No one is here alone, understand
This selfishness makes America weaker, so
Take your hand out of your pocket, extend that arm

VERSE 3
And our time is running out
Stop talking and go back to being human
Let's demand our rights
Because due to the government we know it won't be solved
Believe...
Because nowadays...
Every sign, every corner
Already
Brings a child without a real father in their life....
The system is all wrong
To get ahead you have to be corrupt, of course
I'm
Forced to choose a candidate
Forced to choose between being beaten or robbed!
It's hard to win but it won't stay like this,
You can worry
If the mic is in my hand... I won't stop... denouncing
Who knows, maybe one day
We can be lucky enough to leave here as a leader
Who does everything differently..
Maybe one day we learn that the future is built with the choices of the present.
