a todo vapor
Don L
At full steam
Eager like a crow, I wanted wings
Siren sounds around me
It was my blood in the wolf's mouth of the asphalt or
Jumping in escape from the bridge of the bar
Low tide
Salivating the hunting dogs
Now the dry mouth
The worn-out sole
In the dressing room wanting to drown in gin
So many bad ideas invade
That dreaming of peace was to challenge the Sun like the lighthouses
Every late afternoon
To launch the career at middle age?
Nah, two ages actually
When the probability was to live half
My city is wild
The streets cut hearts
They burn
I reinforce the prayers, amen
For the casting of my first music video (friends)
Of those who remain alive
Not even a third so free
And behold
Above the statistics
Of mass incarceration
I read a comment
They thought I was defeated
I remembered that one from Dexter
Isn't it that now you want flash? (King L)
I swear I tried not to frown, but the flashes came
From all those who didn't come because their flash
Was with a case number and a cell
For trying to make their cash
Option they had to live their selves
That I immortalized in the rhymes that bring me flashes
L in Elle magazine
Thinking of appearing as the criminal I was
When I couldn't appear as the criminal I was
With the kilos I carried on the road
And the police closed the gate on me
I who one day felt like a genius
When I imagined the favela using its weapons
Like Marighella, I already feel
Kind of naive like Marcinho VP from Santa Marta
Believing in old cunning here
The truth is I was alone
The truth is I was feeling empty
Seeing everything I believed in dissolve
More than the ice in the drink
I'm much more of a guerrilla than an MC (with all due respect)
I didn't come to ask anyone to raise their hand
When I asked someone to raise their hand
Mine had a gun
And even so in that hand
It was just to lift me up, my buddy
Not anymore
It's to fly (ah)
Jump
(Panic of nothing, p-panic of nothing)
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
Underestimated, a Northeasterner in São Paulo
Attracts little attention and we're at every peak (run from the cash, cash)
I know they fantasize about the criminal
Three girls in the Benz sending me videos
Me in another car
Sorry, the price is higher
Tinted windows
Feeling so big yet invisible
The flow she loves
The dick she sucks
Top of the game, mami
The OGs command
Fuck with the last thug
Enemies trying their luck
Mami, you're really sitting
From our window the city burning
Running to death like our hearts
Our dreams fly so far
With the mind in the clouds I've come down so fierce
No middle ground for me to fit
I dove from higher
From higher
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
And it's been a fucking flight
At full steam
Now
Since one life is too little
To do everything I can
And be everything I am
One death is too little
Thinking well I threw myself
One death is too little
I went knowing I wouldn't go back
I dove from higher
From higher
From higher
And it's been a fucking flight
(Panic of nothing)
But it's also the moment to
