Laid Back

It's the family's nightmare when you show up with their daughter
Just because you’re... laid back!!!
The dad sees you, doesn’t like it, even talks behind your back
About how you’re so... laid back!!
You’re always in flip-flops, your girlfriend’s almost in tears
'Cause she didn’t want you to be so... laid back!!
You feel a bit embarrassed, but you won’t change 'cause it’s not for free
That you keep being... laid back!!!

This one's for those who rock flip-flops
Against everyone who waves away
South American culture
And they’re looked down upon in the places they enter,
In the restaurants they go
When they’re barred from social entry,
The solution is to sneak in through the back
For those who skip parties
'Cause they don’t have clean pants
At the thrift store, and no sneakers fit no matter how much you dig
Your jumpsuit lies that the new trend is odd straps
At the restaurant, you pretend to diet and eat salsa with olive oil
To save cash on the bus, you skate instead
Your father-in-law thinks you’re an athlete
'Cause you don’t feel cold and don’t drink milk
This is dedicated to every crazy person who’s been mistaken
For a thief, stuck in the revolving door for being so poorly dressed
To all those who only change their shirt
But no one notices 'cause the pack is three of the same, plain and large
For those who got stopped at the door of the convenience store
Accused of stealing Del Valle juice, only having a coupon in their pocket
For those who lost their job because of "appearance"
Two months later, the guy who judged declared bankruptcy
'Cause you got hired by another agency
One that preferred not the clothes,
But the brains...

It’s the neighborhood’s terror 'cause since you were a kid
You’ve never stopped being... laid back!!!
The new neighbor thought you were cute, didn’t make a move 'cause you’re weird,
You’re old and still... laid back!!
You change cities, change ages, and no one gets the truth
And why you’re so... laid back!!
Your girlfriend got you some shoes,
Stubbornly swapped them for a pair of cheap flip-flops
To keep being... laid back!!!

This is the anthem of the crazies
Who have lunch at the government restaurant
For a buck, paying with meal vouchers and asking for change,
Which for your government is mandatory, they repeat the dish
And when they can, they skip out
We don’t pay and bail out faster than a rat race
But dude, it’s all about the cat, the fact is that buses are just balloons
Or sneaking under the turnstile when we head to the Maracanã on the bus
And the biggest rats jump the wall
Of Mário Filho with a kid in their arms
I roll 'cause they still take
The stolen corn when it was still in the ground
From the vendor who was at the pot
Looked to the side and lost three more
And the bum scrapes by with grease on his shins
The anthem of the brothers who only wear new clothes on their birthday
That they got from their girlfriend
That cost them to go the rest of the month without a salary
And they only eat at fancy restaurants when invited,
At the table, it doesn’t stop the tick that seems to ask
"Stay more retarded"
(ah) poor syndrome, laid back in a noble style,
What covers the skin beyond the hair
Is pants from C&A for ten bucks when discovered
And a borrowed cap from a friend
Who, as if it were punishment
Will never see the color of it again, not even painted
This is the anthem of the boys who identified with the lyrics
And the MCs who go into the stationery to steal a pen...

At the costume party, you took advantage of the trend
And dressed up as... laid back!!!
You won the prize for the most original costume
A pro at being... laid back!!
The next day, another chapter, they wanted to take your title
'Cause outside the party, you were also... laid back!!
Some people change
But if after 25 years you still leave the house in shorts
You’re gonna die... laid back!!!
