Eu Só Peço a Deus

"I only ask God"
Let me tell you, I came to confess to you
I think I'm also a poet and haven't learned to love
The crosses I've carried, each with its own law
Just yesterday I asked: "Why didn't I ever stop? Huh?"
Do you want to know what moves me? Do you want to know what holds me back?
They are blood ties, not bank accounts
Don't count on us to sign your newspaper
You discovered Brazil, right? Tell another story, Cabral
It's a cordial country, carnival, all the same
Racial prejudice deeper than the Pre-Salt
Take the poor out of the center, make a postcard
It's the government working, social Photoshop
Bandeirantes, Anhanguera, Raposo, Castelo
Are they heroes or villains? See what they did
Putting these guys' names on the roads is cruel
It's like naming a highway Hitler in Israel

I also want the revolution, but I'm not stupid
Who doesn't know how to use a pencil won't know how to use a rifle
That's why the mics, the MKs, and the spray to show
Who will be prepared to handle the AKs
But come here, on the street it's a general greeting and the kids, the police go up
And rap tries to be cool, it empties out and the BPM goes up
And the faster the speed
Th-th-the speed of the beat increases
Bigger trip, but the messages
Are understood in slow motion
Our favorite sport is still filling the bars
Emptying the homes, man, we are thousands
Miserable in the stands killing each other
And the 22 millionaires having fun on the field
Violence addicts a soldier and I know well (Well!)
War is not holy here or in Jerusalem
It's the Brazil of mixture, miscegenation
If you don't have black blood in your veins, you must have it in your hand
I only ask God!
