Sacrifício (feat. Sam The Kid)

Grew up in a neighborhood two minutes from Linhó prison
Inside the neighborhood, the house that took the most hits from the bongó
I improvised a lot on the corner before I turned pro
To write platinum rhymes before I turned to dust

Most of the time accompanied, still felt alone
Drinking whiskey to untie the knot
On training days, wore a suit, never a suit
Hospital sheet stained with blood, I was in the know

Problems never come alone, one or two more is normal
Life gives you a bit, but never in the plural
You try to stay focused, but you need morale
For every visionary, there's always someone who sees wrong

Because success has a price that is not capital
Family is not just on birthdays and Christmas
Friends don't understand when you're impartial
Sometimes life is as complicated as a kid's blanket

Welcome to sacrifice, blood, tears, and sweat
Welcome to the zone where the trend is to go from bad to worse
Where those who leave penance never come back better
Where some cry and pray at home so that God doesn't delay

And life here is not a bed of roses, drugs are not so sweet
When I was a kid, I smoked joints before breakfast
I wanted to paint a new world but I stayed with the sketch
My buddy who used to just graze without realizing clung

If you think the blame is on the seller, you were wrong
You only see the face of the seller, you can't imagine who brought it
You will never know what it's like to live with a noose around your neck
Kid Alex couldn't take it, put the rope and hanged himself

I try to be inspired by this to do what is right
I pray to God but I know the devil is close
Everything you saw in movies, I saw under my roof
Now even the betties show me affection

Speaking of affection, it often affected me
And I always acted right with those who always doubted
I'm not one to complain, that's how life taught me
So I thank those who always supported me

In the Jamaica studio where it all began
But nothing was the same after the group ended
With the Ghettosupastars, we blew up with a sound
A bit of fame and everyone distanced themselves

But deep down I know that some things happen for a reason
I have around a hundred, songs I recorded and never released
I did things with my buddies that I never told anyone
And to this day, I don't sleep well because I'm outside the law

With everything to fail but didn't fail, didn't fall but slipped
[?] Failed but money comes and goes
Whag1 talked to me and my buddy Fábio too
Today I thank Bridgetown on behalf of my mother

And I won't lie to you, I had a time on other paths
Busy selling chestnuts far from São Martinho
Was in bad company so I went alone
Turned up the sub in the room, woke up my neighbor

Stories of my life, blood on the parchment
But put 27 on the map just tapping lightly
Had no father or stepfather, much less a godfather
Nigga, I'm Sam The Kid's uncle, the rappers are my nephews

Didn't need to step on anyone, fail anyone
But I admit that I often made mistakes
They doubted me, I doubted myself too
That one day I would make my mother proud

Didn't need to step on anyone, fail anyone
But I admit that I often made mistakes
They doubted me, I doubted myself too
That one day I would make my mother proud

Made so many sacrifices, sacrifices to succeed
And you without sacrifices, sacrifices won't get you there
Bro, I made sacrifices, sacrifices to succeed
And you without sacrifices, sacrifices won't get you there
