Gano Holanda, Perdio China

I liked the tough life
I did bad things, good things
And a super .40 taught me
You gotta bet on life and fight
To not be just another face in the crowd

There are stories to tell
And friends to remember
But I don’t want to spread my pain
I danced my ass off for so long
I won and tasted power
By inertia, it was my turn to lose

I didn’t make a deal with the devil
I didn’t sign any contract
On the contrary, I always entrusted myself to God

I don’t forget the burgers I sold
Or the cars I washed

The scales tipped
I put everything in my favor
And what I waited for finally came

I had more than enough money
And I won’t deny it helped me
And that dog turned into a gentleman

I was a target of envy
Maybe I called it upon myself
I wanted to take on the world
And everything in it
Like rain dries up
Coffee gets cold
One day I danced with my luck
Holland won, China lost

No one’s gonna tell me
About Venice of the Alps
About Dubai, Spain, I’ve seen it all
And at the pyramids of Egypt
I scraped the soles of my Louboutins

The most beautiful women
The actresses from TV
One dinner and they decorated my bed
That’s a whole other story, my friend
The wildest things I’ve lived
Even if I tell it from prison

Celebrating New Year’s
With only the best champagne
That day I’ll never forget

The guys with the popsicles
Caught me in the boarding area
They were Interpol folks
The DEA, who knows

Just barely, and they managed to stop me
That’s the thrill I take with me
And I know it would’ve been a different game
If I had been carrying my .357

I was a target of envy
Maybe I called it upon myself
I wanted to take on the world
And everything in it
Like rain dries up
Coffee gets cold
One day I danced with my luck
Holland won, China lost
