1967

1967, the world began at least for me
And my story reduced is more or less like this
Born in São Cristóvão, resident of Madureira
Since I was little used to climbing hills
I remember very well my childhood days
That always spent holidays at the end of '77

Padre Miguel always a 10 on drums
The late Master André, always knew what he wanted
Soccer in the street or on the lower field
You know, my kind uncle was a riot
Walking the streets wearing my soccer jersey
If you passed in front of me, it was better for you to get out

Street carnival, dangerous and fun
But I went through all this unscathed
Thanks to my father, the tramela crew
Sérgio Cabrito, my godfather didn't give up
Remember Bangu Casino, I used to go there sometimes
Enjoy some funk, watch the ladies shake
Kool and the Gang, Gap Band
Another master, James Brown
It was just joy, no trouble

I want to see if you're a man, fool
The way I was and still am
I want to see if you're a man, fool
Just like the midwife said

In Andaraí, Grajaú things got rougher
When we tagged walls, there was always someone chasing us
Carlos Peixe, my buddy
Sometimes tagging, sometimes taking a puff
Life as a kid always good vibes
Skipping bus fare to go to the beach in the summer

To get a little more, we stole from the supermarket
Fuck it, to me that was never a sin
Always at Maracanã watching Mengão play
Zico, Adílio, Júnior, making the ball roll
As the anthem says, I'll repeat with you
Once Flamengo, Flamengo until I die

My grandfather Peixoto left my blood red and black
I'm proud to be from Rio, I'm proud to be Brazilian
Skate in the veins, only those who have it know the feeling
And the power to do an ollie-air
Campo Grande, Norte Shopping, Street in Méier
At night Circo Voador, De Falla show and a Domec

Selling shirts on 13 de Maio
In the situation, a show at Garage
Skunk, brother's fun
Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaata, Planet Rock
Rap, break, graffiti
Here comes hip hop
Singing life but seen from another side
It's not an apology, buddy, no need to get mad

Understand if my rhyme doesn't make you laugh
It's not an apology, partner, excuse me, get out of here
I came to joke, make noise
Talk a bit about women
Skate, music, stuff
Always tuned in, always knowing what I want
Always sound in mind, never sick in the foot
I'll go on with life
Yeah, I swear I will
Just in my shoes, always being who I am

I want to see if you're a man, fool
The way I was and still am
I want to see if you're a man, fool
Just like the midwife said

Now the flow is out
Brazilian, Carioca
Marcelo D2 in the area
If you knock me down, it's a penalty
Thanks
