Efeito (feat. Phoenix RDC)

It was the skill that made me fly
I said: "enough, showtime"
One after another, momma don't cry
I thought I messed up
When I bet all the coins on the mic
The fam said: "hm, hm"
Leaving school put my mother in mourning
But I fought, protected the dream of a kid
I still dream that dream, today it bears fruit
But I just vent, I don't blame you
I'm not Bruno Mars, I touched Twix to be Lion
I saw more vibe in street art and wanted to be fire
I won't give up or give in, the mind is a tyrant
Everest is just a hill, I'll be bigger
It was many years of demo, today the aka is xenon
At 35 I feel fulfilled
For many I'm a phenom, but not for coming from the ghetto
If living right, abandoning the dream
Then I prefer the mistake
Today I live my dream and screw the rest
To be honest, to date I have no complaints
I earned my respect, I'm satisfied
I swear, hip-hop is the best thing I could have done

The best thing I could have done
You only find fault
But I'm not perfect

If it's to tear down, my man
I'm tired of that
That's not where I fit, I'm stronger than that
When it comes to my art, I put my soul and my heart
We are diamonds when hard times come
Another kind of maturity, other priorities
Chasing properties
Brothers are leaving without achieving
Time is passing, I have to anticipate
I come from a humble and hardworking family
So I won't be the one to ruin it now
I won't be weak enough to forget education
It's my treasure
And delude myself with that Pandora's box
Because to survive in this world of cunning
Be careful where you sow and reap the fruits
There are many kids acting like adults
And many adults acting like kids
I'm no longer looking for culprits
In this unbalanced world, my brother
Hey, it is what it is
You have to be in the field, in the ring
This is for those lying on the pillow
It's for those who make mistakes and get it right, and I'm here
Tunnel vision, I realize that not everything is for me
I'm not immune to influence but I have decisive power
To look back at every step and see what I did

The best thing I could have done
(Or worse, you never know)
The best thing I could have done
You only find fault
But I'm not perfect

So it doesn't even matter anymore
It doesn't even matter anymore
You only find fault
But I'm not perfect
You only find fault
But I'm not perfect
