Favela Pede Paz (feat. MC Neguinho do Kaxeta e Lele JP)

[MC Hariel]
Ah, eh, ah
Uh-huh
You'll have to respect!

I'm convinced
I believe this will pass
Even though the rain is strong, the sun will shine
Things are never as we want
That's not a reason to make me give up
I had to smile when the desire was to cry
I learned to live with this scar
The melody reminds of peace to make us think
How long has peace not been around here?
How long have we suffered at the hands of the rich parties?
How long have we been dying always by mistake?
How long does the lock sing to a favela resident?
And will the jail come for those who are really stealing?
And the people tired of finding stray bullets
Your violence generates this revolt
From those who should be taking care and are oppressing
From those who should protect and have become a danger
But the revolt takes over one of our friends
Who is tired of seeing brothers becoming targets of shots
If it's a thug who's on the trigger
Then it's easy
For you to call him a murderer

And before the conviction, you're already judging
My mother already knows that, that's why she teaches me
She tries hard to be a man of many virtues
Stay away from crime, be careful with the police
And before the conviction, you're already judging
My mother already knows that, that's why she teaches me
Make a lot of effort to be a man of virtue
Stay away from crime, be careful with the police

Favela asks for peace, culture, and much more
Families are upset, they don't tell the truth
If they don't do it, we do
Incapable system
Look out for our hood
Our heavenly father

[MC Neguinho do Kaxeta]
I want to be the continuity
And a comma over the period, yeah
I'm in the middle between freedom
And the ambition to have a goat to feast on at Christmas, yeah
Everyone has the ability
It's just the opportunity that's not equal, yeah
Tell me, who takes the kids out of crime?
Who puts the kids to work
Without treating anyone like an animal?
What is it?
Who puts bread on the table for these families?
Who has always been in need
What is it?
That among all the problems pops up every Friday
And the thugs go to unwind
What is it?
That saves lives more than Clark Kent
Bruce Wayne
For all favelas at the same time
I am the funk
Today an escape valve changing realities
Without making anyone bleed out there
