Um Pedido

Have you ever thought if I had stopped
Given up halfway
When the rain was dripping on the roof
And the neighbor's table was the most abundant?
How many times I felt alone
Unable to look in the mirror
But able to exercise my faith
And express my pain crying on my knees

I remember the dream of the Audis, the smoke in the darkness
The rich kids and the Opalas, burning rubber
I saw four of my friends fall for foolish crimes
I saw five black men in the favela become entrepreneurs

It doesn't matter if my mother has cried before
If her smile is so beautiful
It's just that today I can give you
A purer hug, a car, a dress
And if it was for those who said
That the kid wouldn't last
Who traded the gun for love
Wanted to rap, didn't want to study

Now it's champagne and a lowered car
The jet on the hitch of the naughty one
From here to Riviera is almost nothing
Going down the Baixada, feel the acceleration

One day I saw a shooting star and made a wish
I believe, I was answered
It was just a boy playing with his friends
I made this one to remember those who were with me
Sharing the smile
Everything I believe in, I will achieve soon

On the balcony, the models sunbathing
Glass of 43 with Aperol
The chains shining like a lighthouse
Like an expensive soccer player
How much is the power of smooth talk
In a woman's ear?
I spoke right in her ear
Speak softly, that we are from the favela

Now it's champagne and a lowered car
The jet on the hitch of the naughty one
From here to Riviera is almost nothing
Going down the Baixada, feel the acceleration

One day I saw a shooting star and made a wish
I believe, I was answered
It was just a boy playing with his friends
I made this one to remember those who were with me
Sharing the smile
Everything I believe in, I will achieve soon
