A Vida É Um Jogo

It's Pipa on the beat!
It's Kako on the vocals!

Look at another son of José and Mrs. Maria
Who works hard during the day and is far from retiring
And the privilege is a cell phone under warranty
Not having a name in the credit bureau and an old goat to walk

He dropped out of school, he dropped out of college
He liked playing soccer but he got a job
Life is tough for the dream of many people
While the dream of many people hasn't even started yet

Sleep at 11, wake up at 6 to work
Only one hour for lunch for the boss to get richer
Take the crowded bus, always arrive home late
And the woman is worried about the bills to be paid

One day he looked up to the sky and said like this
Why does life hit harder on those who are small
While the shameless state boss in a tie takes the bread from my table
The Lord sends the bill to me

Keep playing because life is unfair
Who has more power, commands more, who doesn't have, is in trouble
While the poor get beaten by the police
The rich kid, the police are defending

Life is a game and they don't teach you how to play
And you think it's for the first to arrive
You want everything but when everything ends
The king and the pawn return to the same board

Life is a game and they don't teach you how to play
And you think it's for the first to arrive
You want everything but everything will end
The king and the pawn return to the same board

On the 23rd, almost the end of the month, he was on the bus on his way to work
The traffic stopped, Brazil got congested
It was almost 8:45, this time he was going to be late
He arrived at work late, the boss, mistaken, didn't even call him aside
He just shouted at him to work, I can't waste time
Because my time is money, take your documents and go to HR

Look where the salary doesn't even reach a thousand
It wasn't even my fault but they want to deduct from me
Damn, my life is hanging by a thread
When I get home, my wife will kill me

It was on that day that he promised
Not to humiliate himself for anyone anymore
And everything they have, he would have too
He grabbed the gun, went down to the street
Looking for someone who had more than him, but he forgot
That outside there are a bunch of crazy people who don't pray to sleep
And don't care about others' kids, he was in a hurry
In the hustle and bustle, he stopped at the traffic light, saw the rich guy in the Volvo

It seemed like the perfect moment
And at that moment he didn't think about anything
He pulled the trigger and aimed at the chest
But the rich guy had another gun

Look what happened
Another son of Mrs. Maria died, died, died
Look what happened
Another son of Mrs. Maria died, died
Another dream died

Life is a game and they don't teach you how to play
And you think it's for the first to arrive
You want everything but when everything ends
The king and the pawn return to the same board

Life is a game and they don't teach you how to play
And you think it's for the first to arrive
You want everything but everything will end
The king and the pawn return to the same board
