Malefícios do Dinheiro

LEALL, LEALL

I saw alcohol, unemployment, almost destroy my home
I saw fear, I saw lives being taken
I know the price and the word
The evils of money for those who grew up with nothing
In the mind of a suburban
Rising to power is just another trap
Among bank robbers
Trafficking and smuggling
I grew up in the guerrilla
Now I have so much to lose
Many people waiting for my yes
Because this could cause my end
Maybe that's why I only think about growing
I see so many people around me afraid
Many falling by the wayside
In those moments God tells me
That's why I choose you

There is no nobility in poverty
I've been a rich man and I've been a poor man
And I choose wealth every damn time
Because at least being rich
When I face my problems
I show up in the back of a limousine
Wearing a $12,000 suit
And a damn $40,000 gold watch

Evils of money
In the mind of a black man, this is karma
Dealing with trauma, I buy another frivolity
I pretend nothing shakes me
Heat in my fingers, chasing the American dream
Everyone after silver
Need and the name of Serasa (Yeah)

May this dirty system never corrupt my mind
I will die fighting, I am a fighter
Like my grandfather who worked his whole life
And died on the way home just after work (Yeah)
For this bread to eat
For this ground to sleep
God bless you
You can get rich, the problems won't disappear
You need an alibi
Just pieces of a big gear
I do this shit
And if I break this rule, it's a safety valve

Because this shit is a necessary evil
This is the system you were born into
And if it's just an embroidered paper
Woe to anyone who tries to touch mine
