Foi Por Pouco
MC Paulin da Capital
It Was Close
I'm dark-skinned, curly-haired, I live right there
And the neighbors, the common folks, everyone knows me
Many said I wouldn't make it past fourteen
And now in twenty twenty-two I'm turning twenty-seven
With faith in God and feet on the ground
Good kid, from the heart, he deserves it!
Came from the far east side conquering everything
Moved forward but didn't forget where he came from
From the suffering people of the outskirts
We need attention
And every day I pray and every day I ask
For a remedy to heal this nation
From the suffering people of the outskirts
We need attention
And every day I pray and every day I ask
For a remedy to heal this nation
Oh, it was close
Even suffering, he's got a smile on his face
The mutt turned silver into gold
Oh, it was close
Even suffering, he's got a smile on his face
The mutt turned silver into gold
Oh, it was close
Even suffering, he's got a smile on his face
The mutt turned silver into gold
I feel proud
