Pensamentos Dum Egoísta

Thoughts of a Selfish Person
Good evening, dear viewers
We're back for the second segment of our news show
We're here with our guest
Who will continue the topic that's in the spotlight
Good evening, Mr. Mudanisse
How do you assess
Your performance over the last few months?
Good evening, it’s like this
It seems like God is really real, he takes his time but shows up
I was getting worried about how old I’m getting
But with this little boost, I’m no longer a nobody
Finally in power now I laugh 'cause I can
Let the street fight begin but don’t count me in the ring
When it comes to suffering, I’ll prove I’m bilingual
While they complain about the rising price of bread, man
I’ll be in foreign lands teaching the game
Perks, I want to enjoy them all
I won’t touch my salary, let the state do the shopping
Even the tantrums, let them pay those bills
Renowned artist, I want to sign autographs at the gas stations
As for my job, I’ll dedicate myself
But what’s wrong and benefits me is for filing away
And the answer will always be: We’re working on it
Always silencing anyone who’s getting in the way
Like that young guy who wanted to screw us over
I think it’s the name he thought he could hunt us down
He doesn’t know that even with proof we’re confusing
If Kroll wants to sink us, we’ll change our name to bruises
And don’t just look at me, it’s how everyone acts
Don’t complain about the story, try to be a character
Any contest, come closer, I’ll give you an edge
I’ll get you in the business for a cut
First, it’s in our blood to produce little
Second, it’s a doctrine that comes from the ancients
They want you to work poorly and they don’t like the good
And I think you’ve seen on the news what happens to heroes
If even the smarter ones who tried today are buried in sand
Better to be a villain for years than a hero for a few days
This is my jackpot, my luck in life
Out of every ten Mozambicans, nine would do the same thing
No one knows how much I’ve suffered
Also nowadays, it’s every man for himself
Why should I think about others, you’re complaining?
Then change your ways, if you get the chance
Hello sis, can you hear me?
Yes, ma’am journalist
I was following that speech
From that guy over there who was saying that
Here, when they get into power, clearly
They take advantage
But another thing too
Is that this problem of corruption
Of stealing, helping friends, nepotism
Is a problem that starts in the neighborhood
How do you think this person when they get into power
Will think
Why? Because of that
It’s not just the politicians’ fault
That’s why everywhere is like this
You go to the hospital, to school, in the lines
These things happen everywhere
Happen everywhere, people want to win
Goat, they say the goat eats where it’s tied
The goat eats where it’s tied and there are many goats
From the neighborhood to the government
So that guy over there, he made a mistake yes
Because he’s stealing
Even if I were there
Maybe I wouldn’t escape either
Me? Ha
So, bye, thanks!
