Desci a Ladeira

For every dream that faded away
A new dream was formed
In the heart of a man who made so many mistakes in life
I traced my route to a better path
I fueled my engine with 10 thousand liters of sweat
We will be tested
Let's do our part
Ordinary people won't silence our art
My shoulders will carry my mistakes wherever I go
And I will use these mistakes as proof of trying

Sometimes I try to be better, greater than I am
I stumble in my conflicts like a love drama
The man of the house has to return with sustenance
I return bringing food and a smile full of warmth
I'm back
If you missed me
I'm here, my love
My heart was looking for you in the rearview mirror

My truth
My redeeming path
I walked the streets
In these streets, I no longer see the same color
Men, destruction is here, wake up!

It's no use achieving progress without order
They cut off our legs
They cut off our arms
We can't let them cut off our ties too

We have to let it rain
We have to let it wash
Rain is a blend of not wanting with needing
The foot that wears sandals today has sneakers to wear
But still takes the body to the same place

I went down the hill to see what was there
And I came back
To tell you that I will always come back
There's no better place in the world than our place

I went down the hill to see what was there
And I came back
To tell you that I will always come back
There's no better place in the world than our place

Not everyone has the same luck
Hey, hold on
What are you complaining about?
What did you sow to reap?
I also saw, my tired feet
Devastated dreams
Call-up
Fallen soldiers, but I'm here
Hey, wake up to life, resistance!
There's a jerk in a suit laughing at every surrender
It's not science, this is rap in action
It's focus, strength, faith, courage, and heart

The boys are on the street, the boys are standing
The boys don't do things as we want
A crazy world that corrodes the soul of those who love
You can send more villains because it only enriches the plot
São Paulo, North Zone
Brazil, Planet Earth
Cachoeirinha in '86, the beginning of the War
My family prays when I go down there
My family cries if I take too long to return

In my world, money brings food to my table
Outside, I saw it bringing evil and coldness
Greed for some nonsense
Madness!
Justice only against us, it's not justice
It's dictatorship!

Our posture is a blind man without a guide dog
Outside, unconditional hatred says good morning
Every day apart is hard to bear
Leave the dishes in the sink, I'll wash them myself today

I went down the hill to see what was there
And I came back
To tell you that I will always come back
There's no better place in the world than our place

I went down the hill to see what was there
And I came back
To tell you that I will always come back
There's no better place in the world than our place
