Sicarios

[Minstrel]
Sins stacked on the shelf
Broken bottle for the latecomers
And great minds turned hitmen
With the stones those fools throw at me, I make a diamond necklace

Lacking self-love, it’s a seesaw game
The one who cares the least wins the prize
And the loser ends up locked in the dungeon
Being someone who doesn’t care will turn you into a genius

My neighborhood lost its color
The streets aren’t like they used to be
Living in nostalgia and dying like an old man
Not being the one who cuts roots, but having planted the seed

Still, more than just rumors
They talked about what they gained but I feel they got nothing
My grandpa used to say there’s only shame
Because evil walks on these sidewalks

Greed surrounds me, pride curses me
Lust attracts me and envy makes my eyes bulge
Laziness kills and I’m dying
Pride is my rage, in gluttony just skin and bones

Rewind the tape, transcending the fact
Butterfly effect passing through my eyes
Doctrining the rhymes, Trojan horses
For the bought MCs who are the height of obviousness

[Minstrel]
Failed life, who’s gonna invest
Time in a dream without certainty
Risking it all, who’s gonna lend a hand
If I fall out of purity
If I fall with clarity
If I fall without certainty
That you’ll help me

[Saint]
Ant detail
For the queen, follow and achieve
Grain by grain it sticks, no flaws
For those who work, live
Because we’ll see perspectives in what they only saw as crumbs, right?

Underground engineer
Superficial to have gold to blow up
If we’re uranium

For there to be continuity
Of the species and legacy
I leave my trail on this soil
Sound and sacred

Another soldier of the hip hop colony
Our pain made us Dorylus
With the light of this insomnia in stock

Between days and nights, going and coming
By the way, have you ever caught an ant sleeping?
Anteaters, fear for your positions
When we understand such dispositions in us

Organization, clever
Where the secret lies
They delivered what they denied to their equals
There, right? So it’s there

They’ll try to domesticate, extinguish
But community is good at staying, resisting
But then, who’s gonna invest?
If the temple of dreams doesn’t exist
Minstrel, I extend the sky for you to fall

We are one
Here, the golden world of the world is the north
Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, even you
