A Vida É Desafio
Racionais MC's
Life is a Challenge
I've always been a dreamer, that's what keeps me alive
When I was a kid, my dream was to be a football player, you see
But the system limits our life in such a way
That I had to make my choice: Dream or survive
Years passed and I avoided the vicious cycle
However, capitalism forced me to be successful
I believe that every poor person's dream is to be rich
In search of my consumer dream
I tried to give a quick and easy solution to my problems
The crime
But it's cursed money
The more I earned, the more I spent
Soon I was charged by the law of nature, vish
14 years in prison
Cheap is crazy, cheap is crazy
It is necessary to always believe that the dream is possible
That the sky is the limit and you, trout, are unbeatable
That the bad times will pass, it's just a phase
That suffering feeds your courage more
That your family needs you
Side by side if you win to support you if you lose
I talk about the love between man, son and woman
The only universal truth that keeps faith
I look at the children who are the future and hope
Who still don't know, don't feel what hate and greed are
I see the rich who fear losing their fortune
While the unemployed, addicted brother sinks
I speak of the sick, (brother) I speak of the healthy (so)
I'm talking about the street that stops this crazy world
That the path to healing can be the disease
That the path of forgiveness is sometimes the sentence
Disagreement, bullshit and false union
Ambition is like a veil that blinds brothers
Like a car driving on the road of life
Without a lighthouse in the desert of lost darkness
I went to an orgy, drunk, crazy, but today I'm sober
I keep the revolver when you talk to me about hate
I see the body, the mind, the soul, the spirit
I hear the suddenness and what it says there in the lyrical song
I speak of the brain and the heart
I see selfishness, prejudice from brother to brother
Life is not the problem, it is a battle, a challenge
Every obstacle is a lesson, I announce
That's it, you can't stop
Wait for the bad weather to come and hug you
Believing that dreaming is always necessary
It's what keeps the brothers alive
Several families, several shacks
A pregnant girl
And the brother is locked up there
He dreams directly of freedom
He dreams of one day returning to the streets, away from evil
It's like that in the big city
You wait for good weather and what comes is just bad weather
In sport, in boxing or football
Someone dreaming of a medal their place in the sun, however
What to do if the crazy person didn't study
500 years of Brazil and Brazil here nothing has changed
I despair there, crazy scene
He invaded the flour market armed and then some
This is a reflection of our current situation
This is the ultimate mirror of reality
It's not sand, talk, bullshit
Because the dream of many people in the neighborhood is to open a bar
Being a businessman is impossible, studying or thinking
You have to work or rip for your brothers to support
Being a criminal here is much more practical
Fast, sadistic, or simply tactical scheme
Is it instinct or conscience
Living between the dream or the shit of survival
The learning was hard
And even in the face of this setback I didn't stop dreaming
I was persistent, because the weak don't reach their goal
Through rap I ran after harm
And I was able to make my dream come true
That's why I, Afro-X, never stop dreaming
I know heaven and I know hell
I saw Jesus in beige pants and the devil dressed in a suit
In the modern world, people don't talk to each other
On the contrary, they remain silent, they step on each other, they betray each other, they kill each other
I shuffle the cards of envy and betrayal
Cup, gold and a sword in hand
What's good is for you and what's left is for someone else
Like the sun that warms, but also rots the sewage
It's really crazy to look at people
The evil attitude influences the good minority
Dying for nothing, what else? Killing for nothing, what else?
Being arrested for nothing, dreaming of a good ribbon
Life flies and the future catches
Whoever stands firm, speaks
Whoever didn't win, the game gives away
Another drop in 15 million
In the richest metropolis, its various contradictions
It is countless, unacceptable, relentless, inevitable
See the miserable side subjecting itself to crumbs, favors
Dodging between nights of fear and horrors
What's the tape, the bullshit, the scene?
We pray, we run away, the same problem always remains
Women and money are always involved
Vanity, ambition, ammunition to create enemies
Since the ancient people it has always been like this
Who doesn't remember that Abel was killed by Cain?
Anyway, I want to win without cheating on anyone
I want money without stepping on someone's head
Right is right in war or peace
If it's a dream, don't ever wake me up again
Russian roulette, how much does it cost to trigger?
I pay double for you to believe in me
That's it you can't stop
Wait for the bad weather to come and hug you
Believing that dreaming is always necessary
It's what keeps the brothers alive
Usually when problems appear
We are unprepared, right?
Wrong!
It's you who lost control of the situation
Lost the ability to control challenges
Especially when we avoid our lessons
That life puts in front of us like this, you know?
Do you always find yourself incapable of solving
Do you shy away, morô?
Thought is the creative force
Tomorrow is illusory
Because it doesn't exist yet
Today is real
It's the reality that you can interfere
Opportunities for change
It's in the present
Don't wait for the future to change your life
Because the future will be the consequence of the present
Parasite today, poor thing tomorrow
Race today, victory tomorrow
Never forget that, brother
