Apenas 28

Yeah, I catch myself thinking about the things I do
About the things I say, you know?
Consequences, seeing things differently
I'm not so angry and reactive anymore
For example, you showed me those photos
Trying to provoke my anger, my desire for revenge
And it didn't happen, I managed to stop a bit and think!

I don't know what will happen from now on
I don't know if I'm mature enough
But I face the uncertainty of the future
I only trust what the heart feels

I don't know what will happen from now on
I don't know if I'm mature enough
But I face the uncertainty of the future
I only trust what the heart feels

Enjoying the solitude, I haven't recognized myself in a long time
I needed some time to be with myself
I'm reviewing my choices and my thoughts
I need to be precise, not shoot randomly

I see things changing, man, little by little
I need to stop smoking and stressing
I'm older, selective, annoying, kind of hoarse
They criticize my steps without walking in my shoes

It's almost 28 and I paid the price
The scars on my soul are from sacrifice
I've changed a lot, I'm not the same guy from the beginning
But I remained loyal to all my principles

I'm getting older, seeing things clearly
Today I have more doubts than certainties
I'm suspicious of those who always have all the answers
Usually, what they lack is purity

In these 28 years, I've met a bunch of real friends
For every loyal one, there are ten assholes!
So I choose carefully who can be by my side
Words mean nothing, what matters is conduct

Between lions and hyenas, there's no agreement
Be careful with secrets or with those who flatter you
For every action, there's a reaction: It's the law of return
Build your name or history will erase you

I've become tougher, it's not just attack, I'm good at dodging
A good soldier doesn't surrender even when afraid
I learned from the best what live rhyme is
So there's drops of my blood in everything I write

Here, it's not enough to be good, you have to be quick
Here, it's not enough to arrive, you have to be the first
Life is a struggle, a dispute like a chessboard
It depends on the point of view, it's just a nightmare

I don't know what will happen from now on
I don't know if I'm mature enough
But I face the uncertainty of the future
I only trust what the heart feels

I don't know what will happen from now on
I don't know if I'm mature enough
But I face the uncertainty of the future
I only trust what the heart feels

Man, I never fit into this scene here
I don't work to be seen, I make money to disappear
Between mistakes and successes, I discovered the secret
That the world belongs to those with more courage than fear

So I understood that pain is necessary, one day it fades
Life was forging me, making me a man
I'm proud of the scars, nothing comes for free
Words convince, but example drags!

Now I see, I was lucky when I look back
The older I get, the more I understand my father
I know everything goes away, and one day he will too
And it will be my turn to be a reference for someone

Here, it's not enough to be good, you have to be quick
Here, it's not enough to arrive, you have to be the first
Life is a struggle, a dispute like a chessboard
It depends on the point of view, it's just a nightmare
Yeah

Paper and pen don't judge anyone, they don't vote
They simply receive my truth
And allow me to turn the page
And today, this is my truth
