Fórmula Mágica da Paz

This shit is a minefield
How many times have I thought about throwing myself out of here?
But then, my area is all I have
My life is here, I can't leave
It's very easy to run away, but I won't
I won't betray who I was, who I am
I like where I'm going and where I came from
Teaching from the favela was very good for me
Every place, a place, every place, a law
Each law has a reason, I always respected
Any jurisdiction, any area
Jardim Santo Eduardo, Grajaú, Missionária
Funchal, Pedreira and such, Joaniza
I try to guess what you need most
Raise your gum or buy some cloth
A lawyer to take your bro away
On the day of the visit, you say
That I'm going to send cigarettes to the crazy people at X
So, like I was saying, good blood
This is not a sermon, listen, do you have the gift?
I know what it's like, it's awesome, partner
Yeah, evil in my head all day long
No clothes, no car, no job
There is no Ibope, there is no ride without money
So, no chance, no woman
You know very well what she wants, yeah
Find one of character if you can
Is it blurry or not?
No one is more than anyone else, absolutely
Here the speaker is another survivor
I was just a kid, I only thought about dancing
Black hair and All Star sneakers
On the function wheel, what a joke!
Sipping dry wine around the campfire
All night, just telling stories
About crime, about bullshit at school
I didn't care, I didn't even take anything seriously
I admired the older thieves and scoundrels
But if you care, look around you and tell me
What improved? From the role, who is left?
I don't know, a lot of wakes happened from then to here
Who is the next mother who will cry?
There is! It took a while, but today I can understand
What real trickery it is to live
I thank God, the orixás
I stopped halfway and looked back
My other brothers, they've all gone too far
São Luiz Cemetery, here lies
But what the fuck, my ear is up to my mouth
What a crazy life, why does it have to be like this?
Yesterday I dreamed that a guy approached me
Now I want to see a thief! Shovel! Shovel! Shovel! Shovel! End
Yeah, a dream is a dream, leave it alone
Sixth sense is a gift, I'm smart
Dying is a factor, but depending on
He has it in his pocket, on the needle and five more in the drum
(No, no) play the game, come on
It fell to 8, I kill at par
I don't need much to feel capable
To find the magic formula for peace

I will look, I know I will find
I will search, I will search
You don't have faith, but I'm going after it
Of my magic formula for peace

I will look, I know I will find
(Look for yours)
I will search, I will search
You don't have faith
(I'm going after mine)
You don't have faith

Fuck! How hot, what time is it now?
You can hear the kids screaming outside
Today, I woke up early to see
Feel the morning breeze and the sunrise
It's kite season, the sky is full
Fifteen years ago, I was there in the middle
I remembered when I was little, me and the guys
(It's been a while), it's been a while, and time doesn't stop
Today it's time, the scheme to come out
Yeah, come on, don't delay, bro, get there
Did you see it yesterday? I take them out, I heard a lot!
So, he says there's a bucket of blood in the camp
But hey, bro, every hand is always the same idea together
Bullshit, shooting, blood, then change the subject
Bring the tape so I can listen, because I'm out of it
Especially the one with Jorge Ben
A shovel with a trapped brother cries loneliness
A shovel with a loose, unwilling hand
Hoarding around, radio, sneakers, pants
Light it in a pipe, it turned into smoke
It's not for nothing, but then, don't even care about me, oh
I enjoy my freedom much better
I don't care what other people say
Four, five, six black on an Opal
You can come, possum, pay it off, I'm in my own mind, in my morals, in the greatest
No goró, no pacau, no dust
I'm light, I have my rule
I'm not a bricklayer, I don't smoke stone
A ride with allies makes me happy
Mutual respect is the key, it's what I always wanted (he says)
Look for yours, I'll go after mine, see you later
From the magic formula of peace

I will look, I know I will find
I will search, I will search
You don't have faith, but I'm going after it
(From the magic formula of peace)

I will look, I know I will find
I will search, I will search
You don't have faith, but I'm going after it

Crying and running in the hospital lobby
Children's Day, holiday and final mourning
Blood and agony, enter the hall
He's alive! For God's sake, doctor!
Four shots from the neck up
Holy shit, the chance is slim!
Out here, revolt and pain
Inside, desperate state
I realized who I really am
When I listened to my subconscious
Hey Bro Brown, asshole, where are you?
Your bro is dying, what you gonna do?
Believe me, I felt useless, I felt small
Another vengeful asshole (go see)
Holy desperation, I can't believe it
What a nightmare, I want to wake up
I can't, I can't, I wouldn't do it at all
Derlei was just another ordinary boy
In a few minutes
Another Dona Maria in mourning
On the wall the sign of the cross
What the hell is that? What world is this? Where is Jesus?
Once again, the emissary
Did not include Capão Redondo in your itinerary
Damn, I'm confused, I need to think
Give me time to reason
I no longer know who is wrong
I don't know, my ideology has weakened
Black, white, police, robber or me?
Who's more of a motherfucker, I don't know
Then fucked, fucked, disappointment at these times
Depression wants to get me, I'm going to get out
November 2nd was the end
I stopped in front of São Luiz, on the other side
And for a half hour, I looked one by one
And what all the ladies had in common
The humble clothes, the dark skin
The face haggard by hard life
Placing flowers on the grave
It could be my mother (that's crazy)
Every place has a law, I'm connected
In the extreme south of the south zone everything is wrong
Your life is worth very little here
Our law is flawed, violent and suicidal
If you say you tell me you don't reveal yourself
First paragraph in the favela law
Cool, scary is when you find out
That everything came to nothing, and that only the poor die
We keep killing each other brother, why?
Don't look at me like that, I'm just like you
Rest your trigger, rest your trigger
Get on the trickery train, my rap is the track

I will say

(Seek your peace)
For all the families out there
Who lost important people, man?
(I'll look for it and I know I'll find it)
Seek your peace (peace)
Don't get used to this violent everyday life
That this is not your life
This isn't my life, is it, bro?
(Seek your peace)

There, Derlei, rest in peace
There, Carlinhos, seek your peace
(I'll look for it and I know I'll find it)
Hey, Quico, did you miss me, morô, bro?

(I thank God and the orixás)
I have a lot to be thankful for for everything
(I thank God and the orixás)
(I'll look for it and I know I'll find it)
I reached twenty-seven
I'm a winner, you know, bro?
(I thank God and the orixás)
Then, look for your
I'm going after my magic formula of peace

(You don't have faith)
(I'll look for it and I know I'll find it)
Then, send a touch to the neighborhood there
Adventist Cohab and shovel, guys
(Real trickery is living)
Seek your peace!
(You don't have faith)

The speaker is Mano Brown, another survivor
(I thank God, I thank God)
He lived for twenty-seven years, contrary to statistics, man?
(I thank God, I thank God)

(Seek your peace)
(I'll look for it and I know I'll find it)
(I'll look)
(Seek your peace)
Look for yours!
(I will find)

You can find your peace, your paradise
(I'll look)
You can find your hell
(The magic formula for peace)
(I'll look for it and I know I'll find it)

I look for
Peace
