Homem De Aço

Hey LF what happens in the east side tell me I want to hear DMN...

Turn up the volume and pay attention to this one
I won't lie
I'm serious for anyone who wants to listen
I slipped but didn't falter, to not fall
I survived the destructive street smarts
and from it, I learned the good part
the fundamental respect for myself
I don't want to live aimlessly, heads or tails
my luck is to have health
crazy is to have health
to dodge all evil
reflect in this hell and such
do my part well
be a mirror as well
for those who are arriving, to be able to count on someone
the path is truly difficult, I know
those who don't know took the wrong path
where betrayal persists
self-love doesn't exist
happy the black man who reaches twenty
the same one who destroys his foundation
and when things are at their worst says it's just a phase
always keeping an eye on the neighbor's yard
if work is needed, fighting is not his way
blames his parents for being like this
and says you did very little for me
just wanted to have everything without appreciating
and see the poorest call you sir
just like every rich kid in power
doesn't know the cost of a bread to survive
doesn't know what's difficult
or hardship
doesn't know what it's like to live far from the city
I know
how difficult it is to endure
I shed my sweat and know how to appreciate
at the limit of humility
I make my space
I consider myself a Man of Steel.

I know it's not easy

I know it's not easy

I know it's not easy (To be a Man of Steel)

Walking on the street seeing people in despair
fighting for the best spot
who arrives first
living a nightmare while awake
running scared, wary of those beside you
seeing the kid addicted to the TV
the low level of school and education
the beautiful black girl who doesn't look in the mirror
ashamed of her nose
mouth and hair
the superhero at only twelve
happy as can be because he got a pipe
the girl who already has a child
who even feeds him, hey man she forgets
high ambition
final apocalypse
I can't stay cool
whole families are falling into the pit
losing their resistance
and the nightmare doesn't stop
being a Man of Steel is to resist
I can't turn my back if the problem is here
I won't run away
or pretend I didn't see
or get distracted
no rich kid will laugh at me
I have a goal to follow
I'm a product of this place
if it's to add up
hey man, come along
to be another arm
a warrior wreck
against power, be the thorn in the shoe
without arrogance, lies, uncertainty, without fault
a striker in this great battle
and at the limit of humility make your space
to also be a Man of Steel.

I know it's not easy

I know it's not easy

I know it's not easy (To be a Man of Steel)

Pay attention, I'm here, Racionais MC's
I'll say I was born and raised in the North Zone
extreme periphery problem, E. D. I.
I don't surrender to the system
like they say out there
I'm serious too and came to check
for the guys on the other side of the wall
and for the guys here
contrary without reason to laugh
hey, I'm not a fool, I know where to go
I'll follow my rhyme brother
in consciousness then
in this word of peace
without violence
I don't waste my time
I don't throw it away
hey thief, I say come with me in the soundtrack
Edy Rock and such
they call me a criminal
I'm not evil
take it easy
just a regular guy
I don't suck up to rich kids from the channel
with blue eyes
blue Mitsubishi
go fuck yourself
rich kid laughs at your clothes and tries to copy
criminal has style
no one can imitate
speaks ill of the favela
of the blacks who live there
at the traffic light the aftermath
thief closes the window
speaks ill of you
who watches TV
delivers drugs to you
to sell and die
in sequence, in violence
pushes us towards evil
pushes us towards recklessness
bold-faced/ only the blind don't see
my people are poor, don't read magazines
they don't understand
have no information
don't study, nothing changes
government denies education
controls the people through money
where's the money?
Fernando Henrique turned Brazil into a brothel
it's the same swindle worldwide
it's not easy being a Man of Steel in everyday life.
