Rap da Cidade de Deus

I'm MC Cidinho and I'm asking for clemency
And I ask why so much violence? (Is it)
Since they generate so many deaths and no one realizes
Let me introduce myself, I'm MC Doca

City of God is the greatest thing
And it asks you, why fight? (Why?)
If you go there just once, you
Will never forget
(Let's go!)

City of God is the greatest thing
And it asks you, why fight? (Why?)
If you go there just once, you
Will never forget
(Sing with us!)

I come asking in this rap then
Freedom, peace and love in the heart
Entertaining (it is) and cheering up
All this funky crowd in the hall
(We talk about who?)
We talk about De Deus because it's a defamed area
And we came to say hello to all the guys
No enemies, no Germans
Let's join forces because we are brothers
(You)

You fight at the dance and I ask you: Why?
I'm sure you can't answer
Since there are so many women in the hall
Stop fighting, it's not worth it
(Come with us)

Now I really want to see the union
Of all hills and favelas but with love in the heart
Four gangs that fight to the death
(Who is it?)
Furnas, Piedade, Abolição, it's Ererê
Eternal alliance that will never end
Playboy Favela, Curicica, it's Carmorim
(That's why) We ask everyone to stop fighting
We can't forget Merck from Jacarepaguá
(Who's coming?)

Come Gardênia Azul and Alto do Boavistão
Vila Sapê, Taquara and Cabeção
(Who do I call?)
I call the Ipase and Barão crowd
To come sing with us this chorus
(Sing then. Let's go!)

City of God is the greatest thing
And it asks you, why fight? (Why?)
If you go there just once, you
Will never forget
(Let's go!)

City of God is the greatest thing
And it asks you, why fight? (Why?)
If you go there just once, you
Will never forget
(Sing with us)

Morro do Boréu, Caixa D'Água, Boiuná
We can't forget Torcida Jovem Fla
Urubu, Santa Maria, Rocinha, Tabajara
77, Campinho, Pombal, Fubá
(How beautiful)

Morro da Chacrinha, Jorge Turco, Faz Quem Quer
Nova Brasília, Nova Holanda and Jacaré (hey-hey)
I send a hello to the big group from Oswaldo Cruz
Acari, Pedra do Bê and Santa Cruz (it is)

Seeing so much violence my heart even hurts
(I) Send a hello to the big group from Niterói
Hello security, let's raise awareness
Instead of kicking out you want to beat
But it's not because of that we will revolt
So let's sing this chorus
(Let's go!)

City of God is the greatest thing
And it asks you, why fight? (Why?)
If you go there just once, you
Will never forget

Even women now go to the dance to fight
This way, where are we going to end up?
And in today's dances no one is dating anymore
Our youth only lives fighting
(And off I go)

I'm MC Cidinho and I'm asking for clemency
And I ask why so much violence? (Is it)
Since they generate so many deaths (then) and no one realizes
Let me introduce myself, I'm MC Doca
(Let's go, let's go, let's go!)

Come on guys, stop fighting
Please, friends, stop to think
(I want to hear)
Peace, justice, freedom, a lot of faith in God
This is the rap from City of God
(Sing then)

City of God is the greatest thing
And it asks you, why fight? (Why?)
If you go there just once, you
Will never forget

City of God is the greatest thing
And it asks you, why fight? (Why?)
If you go there just once, you
Will never forget
(Faith in God!)
But if you go there just once, you
Will never forget
