I Will Change My Path

-Hello
-Hey, what's up, buddy?
- Hey, what's up, brother?
- What's up?
- Hey!
- Everything okay?
- Everything's fine, thank God, brother
- I'm calling to vent a bit, you know
-Sure
- Late night, really tough, I'm here reflecting, imagining
- Tell me, brother
- How can these things happen in our lives, brother?

São Paulo, rich land, many buildings
But so many poor people, so many people suffering
So many people dealing drugs, many brothers
Serving several years in prison for what they did wrong
In a moment of despair, due to a lack of God in the heart
Just like me, no one can stand seeing their child go hungry, right?
Many scoundrels in charge of our country, doing many dirty deeds
And nothing happens to them, you know, brother?
I did many crazy things, but I did them out of necessity
I couldn't bear to see my mother and my kid in trouble, brother
I want you and others to understand as well that
I don't want my child to go through what I'm going through
Prison, the disdain of some who used to be around me
And some who used what I had before I ended up here
Sorry, but I needed someone like you
To vent a bit, brother
I know about your journey, it's going well
You've also been through many tough times
You know how it is, I don't know if I mentioned that I'm living
I don't know if I mentioned that I'm dying, but I know it's tough here, brother

Days that go by and I live without forgiveness
Dying in prison, hey, brother
Days that go by and I live without forgiveness
Dying in prison, hey, brother
I will change my path

Ndde:
But hey, buddy, lots of patience
Your mother is upset, laments your absence
Take the gun you used
Remember the things she didn't like
Buddy, it's tough, but I need to say
Your kid isn't well, needs you
Always asks, but your mother doesn't want to say
Buddy, where are you

Days that go by and I live without forgiveness
Dying in prison, hey, brother
Days that go by and I live without forgiveness
Dying in prison, hey, brother
I will change my path

Ndee:
Hot coast, many suck-ups
Today they turn their backs on you and your people
In the time of money, crazy equipped cars
I know that time, you were admired
Where the child cries and the mother doesn't see
There are other buddies like you
Many crazy things, the world full of danger
I know that those who don't enter the system are screwed
The devil keeps pulling the strings, the guys embrace
God gets sad and the devil finds it funny
Excess of lust, everyone knows
It's the path to prison, it's the end of your freedom
There are dirty deeds and many snitches
Just to see you fall and hold on
He prays for you to stay there for a long time
And to see your family here, suffering

I know, buddy, but hey, stay strong

The snitches who don't like you are always like this
The worm smiles, feels like the criminal
Says that now you're screwed

Days that go by and I live without forgiveness
Dying in prison, hey, brother
Days that go by and I live without forgiveness
Dying in prison, hey, brother
I will change my path

New car, money, drugs, many women after you
Enjoying in excess with what you have
But the house fell, buddy, where are those who claimed to be my friends?
Everyone's doing well and I'm here really tough, buddy

Days that go by and I live without forgiveness
Dying in prison, hey, brother
I will change my path

But I have faith, I ask God for forgiveness
For everything I did, everything I caused
Families crying
For the shots I fired
For the lives I took, for the lives I took, brother

Ndee:
But those who have faith in God, He never abandons
Not even you, buddy, who's in jail
To love God, change, ask for forgiveness
Hey, buddy, it's not shameful
I'd rather be a nobody than a coward
Also be very humble, buddy, not like that
I act in self-defense if necessary
I remove stones from the path to stay alive
Rich people steal, never get screwed
They say that prison is a mansion for the poor
For them, it's easy, but for others, it's tough, brother
This situation really pisses us off, crazy, it's tough

But there's still time to change, reflect
Your path, your story, say I'll stop here
Your mother, your family, we believe
That you can even save those who imitate you
Lack of employment and opportunity
Drives the guys crazy in this city
Some hate my rap, say I curse
Then improve the lives of my people, you assholes
Buddy, stay strong, look ahead
Those behind bars are also people
- Sure thing, buddy. Connect the walls in the hood, I sent my regards
Stay with God, brother
- You too, brother. Amen
- Sorry for calling at this hour
- Oh, don't worry, brother
- But it's tough here, brother
Call my mother, the guys here are grateful
Grateful for the support and they're sending their regards to you too
Once again, stay with God, brother. See you later
- Stay strong, buddy, stay with God too
- Later, brother
- Later, brother. Amen
