Caminho das Rosas

I was flying on the track inside a big Golf
Suddenly I heard sirens, it was a chase
I didn't hesitate, I stepped on it, man, at that moment
Because inside the trunk there were several pieces of evidence

Some clown made me fail the mission
That's why I hit 200 per hour, I called the boss
I turned on the radio, but what a situation that was
He ordered me to arrive alive or dead in the favela

I was speeding and the cops were on my tail
They punctured my tires and the gas is running out
The boss's words wouldn't leave my mind
Alive or dead
I'll have to face the heat

I parked the car, on the brakes and full of adrenaline
I abandoned the cargo, but I picked up a chick

In a split second, cops everywhere
And on TV my face was all over
The hostage desperate and me freaking out
Because the cops' prize, of course, was my death

I made demands with great cunning
Negotiators on the ground, and snipers on the roof
My God!
But I'm a thug, a trained warrior
And I won't surrender
I'm a 157 bandit, if necessary I'll kill
I don't fail the mission, I don't fail!

The siege is set, nowhere to run
I thought there's no way out, bullets will fly
That's when the calm negotiator brought the news
Calm down, on the phone is your wife and daughter

I was surprised when I answered the phone
I saw tears falling even though I'm a tough guy
I released the hostage, regretful and distracted
Suddenly a noise
Bang
I got shot

I thought about surrendering, now it's too late
What will become of my daughter without a father?
Destroyed childhood, traumatized future
It's over, I'm on the ground agonizing, shot

I asked God for forgiveness as there's no justification
Blame the suffering and getting into the criminal life
In my last breath seeing my life slipping away
Remorse came, it was in it that I found

The path of roses
The path of roses
The path of roses
The path of roses
