Immortal (feat. Goldbeat)

From the beginnings of humanity
Man causes calamity
Rivalry, futility
Destroyed the foundation of our society
Barbarity in every part
No friendship in these cities
Full of vanity, men killing men
With cruelty
Many on boats with Bibles in hand arrive preaching truth
It was a great failure, they invade that space in the name of that divinity
Humans without souls, children of demons, that's why they bring their priests
They baptize with the Holy Spirit with the idea of helping for eternity
Many lies told, thousands led astray, manipulated in the grid
Much wealth plundered, but worse than taken was clearly our freedom
Men cry, scream, pay the price for naivety
Our history blocked by those slave ships that carry the value of our simplicity

The son who died on the boat sadly without saying goodbye to his mother
He tries, he can't because our soul is immortal
The man hanged sadly, tears falling on the earth
He tries, he can't because our soul is immortal
Immortal we are immortal
Immortal we are immortal
Immortal we are immortal
Immortal we are immortal

500 years of slavery under the hot sun with storms in the plantation of something inside the diamond mine
500 years of submission under the whip and majesty without conditions in humiliation
For the benefit of their prosperity
Colonization made our land a market of necessity
Denying us that education for domination, they have that longevity
According to our ancestors' history, we could lose our identity
Segregating reason and the value of our space without any dignity
Nanci Malcom, King, Panthers, and other singularities
Cabral, Machel, Agostinho, many true men
Struggles, escapes, a big step for our societies
Lives, deaths, many paid dearly for our freedom

The son who died on the boat sadly without saying goodbye to his mother
He tries, he can't because our soul is immortal
The man hanged sadly, tears falling on the earth
He tries, he can't because our soul is immortal
Immortal we are immortal
Immortal we are immortal
Immortal we are immortal
Immortal we are immortal

Today, NSA, my sad children, many are crying
In all the diaspora, cries of insult don't stop
The result of men who once raped and violated, marking my body with a fierce knife almost killing
At the end of the day, tired from work, only precarious jobs remain
Left with leftovers, full of maneuvers with little defense in a society where the police are mercenaries
We hang people, the ghetto is not a source of pride
Walls bear witness to the suffering that dominated
We give, occupy homes, palaces with assemblies
We don't stop, the university must feel our essence
Without permission, thinking about 500 years
In all the damage that the slave ship did one day
Obviously, they are afraid of our muscular strength
But they must fear the secular intelligence
And we invade overseas, occupy the whole world, blacks in weight everywhere
Breaking barriers, planting unity, cornerstone
One path from Lisbon to Dakar
We don't forget the tears that water the straight plantation
From Goré, my people die without air inside the hold
And today, the podium cannot be the salary
Every black person must give birth to a revolutionary

Many are born, many die
Many fall, many run
Many cry, many hungry
Many laugh, many laugh
Many want to kill a companion
But the fight must continue
Don't ever forget your story
Never forget your past
Never stop feeding your roots
Be the change you believe in for our land
And we become immortal
