Chevette do Jacó

We don’t say much, but we’re happy, man
These girls don’t wanna be happy, no
The shirts we wear are from the Chinese shop
But I think they’re 100% cotton (no guarantees)
When she wants some syrup, but always splits it three ways on the card
Then there’s some good stuff left for a rolled-up smoke
With the stash from 15, I make a balloon

Smoking in Jacob's Chevette
Always rolling with Josué, huh
It needs a little bodywork, a wash, and that’s it
But it’s way better than walking

Juliette on my face, if the cops stop us
We stash her in the glove compartment
Documents expired, but nothing slows me down
'Cause today’s Friday, and it’s looking good
Lizard from the savanna, from here to the sector
But I know where every curve is
Hey, may our kids not have a stepdad
And may our women not end up widows

I’m heading down to the hood, 'cause today’s a chill day
On Monday, it’s gym and crunches
In shorts and flip-flops, catching that soap opera
Always blasting the car stereo and drifting
Brasília doesn’t have Mandela, but the frevo’s in Mirela
The neighbors throw stones, but there’s no finale
Then we call the cops who are friends with Patrícia
And the question that never dies: Where you from?

Always rolling with Josué, huh
It needs a little bodywork, a wash, and that’s it
But it’s way better than walking

This life is about knowing how to live
Becoming someone who deserves it
If you don’t have it, we’ll send for more
More horsepower for these motors
If you don’t get up to turn on the light, you can’t complain
You also can’t be scared of the dark
I was born in a place where it was easier to cry
But at fourteen, I decided: I’m gonna take over the world
I’m happy where we are, where most think
There’s no innocence, just a bunch of bums
Game day, someone fires a shot, but it’s just the homies’ engines
On the avenue racing with turbo cars

Smoking in Jacob's Chevette
Always rolling with Josué, huh
It needs a little bodywork, a wash, and that’s it
But it’s way better than walking
