Eu Tiro É Onda (feat. Shabazz the Disciple)

This be that shit for the ghetto
Shabazz the Disciple, Marcelo

Rio de Janeiro, New York, Andaraí, Brooklyn
It's like a concrete jungle, Shabazz

The Concrete Jungle, some niggas is poor, some niggas stackin' bundles

Yo son, where I'm from is off the hinges
Even niggas is smokin, sniffin, shooting that shit up with syringes
Hustlers is profiting off amphetamines
Running the streets, yo, niggas got to eat, no better dream for a cheddar fiend
Take a look through the eyes of a disciple
Come into my world, burning punanies and mommies who's living tryful
Snipers on the roof with a rifle
Inhaling death aroma your baby's born in a coma, yo, shit is a cycle
Out here living conditions aren't decent
And if you're gettin' riches there's snitches pointing at pictures in the precinct
Prejudice popo hate niggas at round tables infiltrating empires with riots
Money got niggas Cain and Abel
I need your exodus like I was Moses
And I'm gonna live that way until the day that I'm covered with roses and my coffin closes
Peace to all my niggas on the island
The projects dirty ones, paradise, ice and cowardice, stashing dirty guns

It's the sound that comes from the streets, that's why I take a wave
I'm standing, compadre, and I never sleep on the beat
From Red Hook to Brazil
We hit y'all with that shit
From the streets y'all can feel
POWs in jail
Soldiers balancing the scale

It's the sound that comes from the streets, that's why I take a wave
I'm standing, compadre, and I never sleep on the beat
From Red Hook to Brazil
We hit y'all with that shit
From the streets y'all can feel
POWs in jail
Soldiers balancing the scale

I came from Rio de Janeiro to New York carried by the sound
In Andaraí, in Brooklyn, there are only good people
I'll explain to you how I get out of this shit
I'm always aware, and I keep my mind open
With money it's very easy, everyone is happy
I want to see you take a wave without money like I did
I take a wave not because I eat many girls
It's because I'm still alive and no one can take me from here
Oh, Oh, Don't laugh at me, friend
I'm serious, all I want is to stay away from a cemetery
The criterion is to stay away from death
With a condom, with drugs, or in the hands of men
The good hustler knows what he wants
If you don't know, you're acting like a fool
Just like Mussum from Mangueira, I don't wait for the system
I go after it and make my scheme
On the microphone then, there's no competition
Even more when I join my brothers
Listening to Hip Hop is a normal thing
Understanding Hip Hop is where the evil is
It's like a concrete jungle, but deep down I take a wave and I repeat
I never sleep on the beat
But if I'm with my buddies then everything is fine
It's good to stay aware and come run into danger
If I go out to party what I want is Peace
Let's get straight to the point, stop the back and forth
And if you still don't know me I'll introduce Marcelo D2
And my buddy Shabazz

From Red Hook to Brazil
We hit y'all with that shit
From the streets y'all can feel
POWs in jail
Soldiers balancing the scale
That's why I take a wave, I'm standing and never sleep on the beat

From Red Hook to Brazil
We hit y'all with that shit
From the streets y'all can feel
POWs in jail
Soldiers balancing the scale
That's why I take a wave, I'm standing and never sleep on the beat

Ay, yo, salute to all the soldiers from Red Hook to Rio, Brazil
And all the two-time felons, in every fucking favela, staying ranks

That's it, I also survived this war Marcelo D2, Rio de Janeiro
I take a wave, because I go against the statistics, you know?
So it's better to walk the line, but be careful because the train is ready to fuck you
In Portuguese or English the fight is the same, stay alive and peace
