Cidade 2000

Matuê bringing the lesson to you

On my list there are a lot of people to dedicate
Strength to the street kids of Ceará
You who have a lion to kill every day
Running from Titan to Jardim América

Hey

For the youth who today live in neglect
In this flawed system, going to school is a delay
Million dollar scheme front is a car wash
And our money falls into the hands of yet another born pig

Sorry, I'm tired of living like this
Seeing my brothers always one step away from the end
Will I see the sun rise tomorrow?
Either death comes or I let it take me?
I let her take me

Yeah, living in the city (hard, yeah)
At noon in the sun without shadow, without mercy
Dust surrounds the city's concrete savannah

Fortaleza I represented, yeah

Playboy walked by with a joint in his hand
If he was black and poor, he would be sent to detention
It is still said that there is no discrimination
And the war on drugs putting the poor young man in the coffin

And every day we suffer from traveling
Malacan politician does not understand reality
Forcing people into crime
With laws that do not correspond to real problems

Yeah, living in the city yeah

Yeah, living in the city (hard, yeah)
At noon in the sun without shadow, without mercy
Dust surrounds the city's concrete savannah
Yeah living in the city

Will your turn come?
Of carrying your child in your hand
Some live like kings
While the other lives in the worst condition

Is this what's left for us? (What's left for us)
I scream and no one hears my voice

Yeah living in the city yeah
At noon in the sun, without shade without mercy
Dust surrounds the city's concrete savannah
Yeah, living in the city
