Rapaz Comum

It seems like someone is carrying me close to the ground
It seems like a dream, seems like an illusion
Agony, despair takes over me
Something in the air tells me it's very bad

My blood is hot. I don't feel pain
The numb hand doesn't feel its own sweat
My reasoning slows down
Who screwed me?

I'm trying to remember
The movement around me grew
My God! I don't know what's worse anymore
Lying to yourself your whole life

Or continuing and insisting on the same mistake
I remember a certain someone
Kill that guy!
Is making mistakes like this human?

Making mistakes your whole life is very easy
To survive here you have to be magical
I remember several things at the same time
As if I were wasting time

The irony of life is fucked up!
What value does it have? How much value does it have?
A life is worth a lot, I came to know now
Lying here and the guys in peace, everything outside

Lifting weights or maybe playing ball
Believe me. It must be a cool moon
Someone is calling me, who is it?
Squeezing my hand, has a woman's voice

The crying makes her swallow the words
A handkerchief that wipes my sweat wipes her own tears
On the face of a mother who prays softly
Who never let me lack, be alone

She taught me the way since I was a child
My childhood, another one I keep in memory
In the hope of the periphery I'm just another one

Click, clack, boom!
Common guy
Click, clack, boom!
The law of the jungle is like this
Click, clack, boom!
Common guy
The law of the jungle is like this
Click, clack, boom!
Predatory
Common guy
Preserve your glory!

I wanted to slow down my clock
For me, one more minute of hatred is worth a lot
But I feel weak, defenseless, unprotected
I'll go higher, asshole! To take you with me!

I'll be a burden in your life
You created an incurable monster, no alternative!
Deceive me for what?
If the end is to turn to dust!

I got much worse
Hold your mess!
The black here has no mercy!
Another wasted life and that's it

A bullet is worth a life of my people
In the clip there are fifteen, there are always fewer in the hill, so?
How many guys like me have gone?
Black, black, poor, be careful, help!

What's going on here? What's happening there?
I see this often, since I was a kid
Fifteen years old was enough, then
Trouble at the dance, then. Shots galore!

Death goes without saying!
I see the guy agonizing!
Call the ambulance! Someone call the ambulance!
Then I would find out during the week

That two were gone
The black always had fame
In the newspaper, magazine, and TV you see
Death here is natural, common to see

Damn! I don't want to have to find it normal
To see one of my guys covered in newspaper!
It's bad! Suicidal everyday!
Who enters has a one-way ticket!

Tell me. Tell me: What good does that do?
Tell me. Tell me: What advantage does that bring?
Then
The border between Heaven and Hell is in your hands

Nine millimeters of iron
Asshole! Fool! Who the hell are you?
Look in the mirror and try to understand
The gun is bait to catch
You're not a cop to kill!
It's like a snowball
One dies, two, three, four
One more dies soon

I feel it on my skin, I see myself entering the scene
Taking shots like a movie

Click, clack, boom!
Common guy
Click, clack, boom!
The law of the jungle is like this
Click, clack, boom!
Common guy
The law of the jungle is like this
Click, clack, boom!
Predatory
Common guy
Preserve your glory!

My idea is clearing up
I get attacked, neurotic, time is running out
I don't want to admit, my eyes will open
I'll cry, I'll smile, I'll say goodbye

I don't want to admit that I'm just another one
Unfortunately, that's how it is, it's common here
One more body in the morgue, it's serious
One more black in the cemetery, it's serious

I see myself now and it's hard
My family, my guys
In the center a crucifix
My kids looking without understanding why

If I could speak maybe they would know
I can't believe this guy came all the way here!
He killed me, wants certainty and wants to check
They accompany me to the grave

I see a commotion in the coffin. Huh!
And someone holds it!
Another mother who doesn't accept
Losing a son like this is fucked up!

Who accepts it?
How could I imagine at other people's wakes
Today I'm in the place
In the hole my coffin goes down

They throw dirt, flowers, say goodbye in the last prayer
They're calling me, my time is up
I don't know where to go!
I don't know where I'm going!

What's up?
What's up?

What am I going to be?
Maybe a guardian angel to protect you
I'm not the last or the first
The law of the jungle is shit and you're the heir!
