Tic Tac

I wake up in the morning, stick my face out the window,
look at the street, my eyes all crusty,
see a bunch of buddies hanging around with some girls I used to date,
but I forget all that and go wash my face,
down to the street, but what a stench of sewage,
let's leave that behind, and keep to myself,
a hot midday sun, how about a little shade,
a cold beer to cool my head, shoot the breeze,
sky, moonlight, and drama,
enjoy this moment and why not the whole day,
hang out in our hood without a care,
now let’s grab a few drinks and get wild,
things are gonna get crazy, suddenly a radio pops up,
where it came from, no one saw,
Tiradentes, East Zone, Brazil.

Tick tock, time keeps passing, and here we are sitting on a bench chatting...

Hours have passed, several beers down,
and we’re still sitting there doing nothing,
the kids coming and going stir up the scene,
and the sun shines in the sky, bronzing the ladies,
yeah, there are plenty at the stand, so I gotta hustle,
the vibe here is strong, the bad ones don’t pulse,
get lost, man, what are you thinking?
you wanna know? then I’ll tell you,
I know what you’re up to, don’t try to fool me,
because this crew is ours, if you kneel, you gotta pray,
I take her hand, head to my place,
hey dude, take a breather, I’ll be back for a ride!!!

I took a little longer, sorry about that,
I delayed our hangout, but we can still enjoy,
walk around and have some fun,
come over to the square where there’s a samba going on,
forget for a moment the problems in our lives,
and not just sit around complaining without a way out,
try to improve and be truly happy,
in the East Zone, Tiradentes, our city,
our day-to-day has its good and bad,
but what can you do, life is like that,
in a matter of seconds you can decide it,
you can fix it or you can destroy it,
but tick tock, time will never stop,
unless your old watch breaks down,
no one told you to buy it in Paraguay,
go ahead, we’ll follow behind... hahahaha
