Goteiras

(I never forget the leaking roof)

I never forget the leaking roof
My mother working the whole week
To not let anything be missing in the fridge
Three children and the struggle of a single mother

It was crazy, no joke, only by God
We had everything to go wrong, but it didn't
It's that the Father honored me, fulfilled everything He promised
Even when I was weak, failed, He remained
Finally, I understood that the problem was me
When I got lost, He protected me
How many times I saw the burial of some of my friends
A mother crying in a coffin, how much it hurt
Another good soul that the system corrupted
Got deluded with money, wrong life, look where it led
Not everything that shines is gold, many got lost
The end is always sad, tell me if it was worth it

It's part of the process
When it seems impossible, victory is near
Giving up is not an option, I restart
Because I don't give up, I don't allow it, the chance is zero
I never wished to be better than anyone
If I'm better than I was yesterday, that's great
I want peace, health, and a well family
And I only accept what comes with its own merit
If God is for us, then just answer me, who?
Let them try, and they will try, it's obvious
After the storm, calm comes
Not even storms will prevent your purpose

So face it, favela
You already have the no and the yes doesn't come out of nowhere
Everything that comes easy goes easier, speed up with caution
Calmness wins over haste
So face it, favela
You already have the no and the yes doesn't come out of nowhere
Everything that comes easy goes easier, speed up with caution
Calmness wins over haste

I always knew it wasn't easy
Before victory, there's war
If it's not to go all the way, then don't even start
Life is not a play, much less a party
Keeping your feet on the ground is essential to fly high
Favela
Oh, favela
