Forte e Chiaro

My mother cries but I don't notice, hey, hey
I remember the sacrifices, I don't forget them, hey
I put another stone on top
Fuck these money, burn another banknote, hey
Guys down with the coke
You've been missing for too long and this ain't right, hey
We want to survive when we grow up
I don't trust these four vipers, hey
I always push myself to the limit
I live this life, waiting for whoever comes to kill me, yah
But if you pass by we don't even look at each other
They don't know, only we know
She calls but I don't answer
Shots fired, I take cover
Hands on my face even tonight
Guys on the street with broken heads
I'm a bit high, taking blurry photos
Smoke three grams and don't cough

I think back to before, ah
I look at myself now, hey
It's already morning

I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was out of school, I've come a long way
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was in the playground something has changed
All the nights that I hoped for, yay
But what do you know, hey

This city is tight on me like my jeans
Baby, you look better without leggings, hey
In this game, I take space
If a brother falls, I'm there to lift him up
I gather courage and go
I rise when I fall
Even if I don't speak, you understand loud and clear, hey
Another round without ice
Another shot, then I climb
I hope today I make it, hey
No one cries for me (for me)
I've taken kicks and thrown punches
I've wasted time with you (with you)
Touching the hands of these scoundrels who have held mine
But I already had plans in my head, I had all the ways
So fuck now look at me, yay
On a wire with stilts, yay
They're waiting for me to fall
But if I get up, you won't rise again
I've moved those in front, with all the troubles
Now everywhere payers, let's raise the earnings
The big cars, like the big ones
I come out of the jungle unscathed

I think back to before, ah
I look at myself now, hey
It's already morning

I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was out of school, I've come a long way
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was in the playground something has changed
All the nights that I hoped for, yay
But what do you know
