Expresso da Meia-Noite

(Only those who are from there know what happens)

I'm hanging out in the hood, from Parati filmed
It's 11pm and the night is bright
I light a cigarette, I'm inspired
Do I walk alone? No, no, God is on your side
It's Saturday, the street is full, a lot of people
Precinct 73, rebellion in the comb
In São Luís, someone bleeding in the waiting line
While at some crossroads a candle is lit
In church, believers keep vigil to save themselves
Anxiety waiting for Jesus when he returns
Opposite, a bar is crowded
End of career, several drunken uncles
Maybe he's frustrated with his family
Or even beat up your own daughter
That shines, in that evil with one's own body
15 years old and has had an abortion
There's no shortage of crazy and there's plenty of crazy
Periphery, legion, get to work
Alcohol and drugs are there, they run together
It's death, the scythe behind yet another subject
It takes 2 minutes to fix it (haha)
Whoever is grieving here can't even breathe
You have to think faster and pull the trigger
If you're not quick partner, get shot
It's at the limit, (it's) the flower of your skin (it's)
Whoever is hurt with the same iron always hurts
The firearm commands respect
In the underworld of the metropolis it's like this
Don't think, don't blink, don't take a step
Whoever qualifies, (said) it's a hug
Peace is dichavado and smoked on silk
Peace of mind while the coals are burning
The smokescreen under the spotlight
Where the greatest ally is luck
In each lot, an alley
In the curves of Nova Galvão, a favela
Who witnesses all the time some poor thing
Just like the one that was torn in the middle
Machine-gunned, several automatic shots
For cowards, this is the most practical way
Delete and leave behind
A bloodstain that never goes away
Families torn apart by evil
Child without a father, what will he be like later?
Life is not a fairy tale (no)
Mainly in the quiet (in the hood)
Where we see, record several tapes
What a human being is capable of, you don't believe!

(Only those who are from there know what happens)

I see land (I see), I see asphalt
I see war, death, assault
Blood on the floor, a hope that agonizes
Reflects the life that the soap opera satirizes
Then, it's clear that it's blurry around the corner
The area is sinister and the atmosphere is heavy
The North Zone is large, extensive
Each broken situation, a sentence
No difference, I know the 4 corners, I saw
The violence is the same for now here
Slaughter, rape, trafficking
The night is bad brother, it only makes you crazy
Life of madness, hell and suffocation
Money comes and goes, but it's still very little
If you have the courage, even some crazy people will run after you
If two is a good trick, three is never too many!
But a nail shovel waits to happen
Now the girl is pregnant, what are you going to do?
Sell something cheap on the corner or will you steal it?
The baby will soon be born, who will pay for it?
Families come, families go
Escaping from death, escaping from prison
Fundão's life is unbalanced
Hebron, Piquiri, Jova, Serra Pelada

(Only those who are from there know what happens)

No one trusts anyone, it's better this way (better)
Not me in my shadow, and not her in me
Today, every kid is carrying a gun
Pull the dog without thinking, to be respected
I'm connected, I know who's who (I know)
Superman with a bomb will kill someone
Being hostage to evil spirits
Malicious, cynical, frivolous, unworthy
I was forced to live with it
With a square and an old crucifix
It's always good to walk slowly on the sidewalk
Life is not a fairy tale
