A Luta Continua

The street was the gateway
Taught to put food on those tables
To enjoy luck and avoid misfortunes
Bills to pay, children to raise

And those who govern in practice, practice
Exploitation tactics, basically
And it's basic the mind, of those who don't see the math
And see that they lie with all their teeth

House overlooking the river
Money stolen from the elderly
Eviction notice, make a guy dangerous
For those greedy ones

It's time for them to pay
I want the right change
And I who am crazy inside
But with the right focus
A guy acts, doesn't talk
Like guys with big mouths and little chest

Believe in yourself, don't be a coward
I do my part, you do yours
My contribution is with my art
So, before it's too late or you'll
Spend the whole day looking at the stars
Waiting for a miracle, yeah

Here we go again
Screw your neighborhood, my guy
Screw your rap
But my respect goes to the people
Ours, who learned to make omelets without eggs

Influencing mentalities
For the good of the community
To find peace and the love we seek
Because there's madness in our love
But there's reason in our madness
So the cycle is restricted
With the goal that the family celebrates

Entry prohibited for snitches and sellouts
I don't buy that cat in a sack
Are you confused, don't know who you are?
Against your own it's not courage, it's stupidity
Judgment is lacking with time
You should improve, like the best Portuguese wine
You see the reasons for so much difficulty in almost everything
So it's time to prioritize university

What's your contribution, kid?
At first it was immaturity, it was age-appropriate
Now the priority is to increase the faculties
Ourselves with our own properties

Believe in yourself, don't be a coward
I do my part, you do yours
My contribution is with my art
So, before it's too late or you'll
Spend the whole day looking at the stars
Waiting for a miracle, yeah

Be strong and show the world what you're worth
Believe in yourself, don't be a coward
I do my part, you do yours
My contribution is with my art
So, before it's too late or you'll
Spend the whole day looking at the stars
Waiting for a miracle, yeah

The struggle continues (my family in Brazil)
The struggle continues (students in Cuba)
The struggle continues (immigrants in France, UK)
The struggle continues (Switzerland)
And victory is certain
The struggle continues

The struggle continues
My brothers, excel in school
Excel at work, that's how we'll improve
Our lives and maybe create a better future
For our kids
Yeah
The struggle continues
And victory is certain (victory is certain)
