Só Mais Um Maluco

Straight from the asylum they call the slum
Here's just another crazy one who doesn't believe in soap operas
If life is beautiful, on screen everything is fine
Who's crazy like me also wears the straitjacket
My madness is simple to understand
They turned me into a black suicidal cannibal
Unconformed messenger of truth
Seeing people agonizing on the margins of society
That massacres, destroys, humiliates
Turns your son into a thief and prostitutes your daughter

Enslaves you, humiliates you, kills you
While the real thief wears a suit and tie
Doesn't handle rifles or shotguns
Kills millions of Brazilians with just a pen
Goes unpunished, doesn't go to jail
He's not poor (no), he's not black
If convicted, he stays in a separate cell
With a TV, minibar, and cold water

Criminal with a higher education
Finances war, hatred, resentment
The bourgeoisie makes a point of not understanding
Dials 1-9-0 and sends the cops to arrest me
The sociologist listens to me and gets mad
Says this rap thing is crazy
Illiterate ignorant without culture
Says the wise don't mix with favela dwellers

Who would have thought, what wisdom
Studied in another country now fears the majority
Mv bill a hot-headed crazy one
Who doesn't accept cowardice so easily
I know the elite hates me
Calls me a criminal and says black women are ugly
In jail they would even feel sorry for me
One less problem and mv is out of the scene
The nightmare the elite doesn't want to have
Confronting someone from the favela

Shake in your boots when you see bill
Call the police when you see bill
That black guy with a tattooed body
Denouncing the poverty and misery of Brazil
There's a lot on TV that I don't like
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one
When it comes to speaking, I never stay silent
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one
Send the cops to arrest me, it pisses me off
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one
I was born this way, that's why I never change
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one

The madam got scared, the favela gave me ten
When I entered shirtless with a gun at the party
For those who doubt, there's much more
I advocate not for crime but for peace
But, white clothes without thinking of the majority
Asking for peace without justice is utopia
War seems inevitable to me
For those living in the unfavorable position
Suffocated crowded here in the hill
If the population rebels, don't cry for help
It's the weaponry the people will form
See your neglect and arrogance where it leads

You can show off, who lives on low income
When blood knocks on your door, I hope you understand
And realize that being black and poor is tough
Hypocritical society, just remember to be Brazilian during the World Cup
Out of fashion on top of the African touch
Disobedient changes the comb while I keep talking
Militating, declaiming, rhyming, versing
Fighting, shouting, dying and at the same time killing
My country, where's your root?
Here people who don't fight are called happy
And strictly follow the bourgeoisie's standards
The same that assimilates dance with pornography
Influencing my niece and her aunt
In front of the mirror imitating the choreography
Encouraging brutal pedophilia
I believe in God the Father Almighty the only one who guides me
If being happy means this
I'll be crazy until the end
And if a war breaks out tomorrow
I know which side I'll be on
It's very confusing, it's very sinister
Who causes misery and swears to love Christ
And with their superior air has no respect for the gay
For the elderly, for the poor, and for the black

Shake in your boots when you see bill
Call the police when you see bill
That black guy with a tattooed body
Denouncing the poverty and misery of Brazil
There's a lot on TV that I don't like
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one
There's a lot on the radio that I don't even listen to
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one
And with an artist's life, I don't delude myself
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one
In the favela, Mrs. Maria is in mourning
Just another crazy one, just another crazy one
