Periferia É Periferia

This place is a peripheral nightmare
Located at the numerical peak of population
During the day, the kids on their way to school
At night, they go to sleep while the brothers 'take off'
In the flour... huh! In the rock... huh!
Using mountain drugs, what a mess! huh!
I feel sorry for these guys' families
I feel sorry, he wants to but he can't stop!
A very bad example for the kids
To start, it's quick and has no brakes
Heir to some Mrs. Maria
'Careful, ma'am, take control of your offspring!'
Because the head of the house works and is never there
No one sees him leave, no one hears him arrive
Work occupies all his time
Overtime is necessary for food
A few extra bucks in the salary
Charity from a boss, millionaire asshole!
Being a slave to money is this, dude
360 days a year, no plan
If slavery ends for you
Who will you live off of? What will you live on?
The system manipulates without anyone knowing
Brainwashing made you forget
That walking on your own two feet isn't hard
Easier to give in, to omit
In the arid streets of the jungle
I've seen too many tears, enough for a war movie

Here the view is not so beautiful anymore
There is no other place
Periphery (poor people)

Here the view is not so beautiful anymore
There is no other place
Periphery is periphery

Here the view is not so beautiful anymore
There is no other place
Periphery (poor people)

Here the view is not so beautiful
There is no other place
Periphery is periphery

A dude told me that when he arrived here
Everything was bushes and all he remembers is gunshots, yeah
Another crazy guy said it's still sketchy
Who didn't die, is in jail, calm
Who got married, wants to raise his kid, or not
Smoke and get high like a kid, then
Cowardice turns the corner and lives there
Law of the Dog, Law of the Jungle, huh
Time to rise!
-'Dude, what a mess, dude! Big mess, did you see?
They stole that uncle's money!'
Who works tirelessly, without rest
Our Lady enlighten him, nothing will be lacking
It's a shame. A whole month of work
Thrown into a pipe, damn!
Hatred takes over a worker
Urban slave
A simple northeastern guy
Bought a gun to defend himself
Wants to find
The scoundrel, this time he won't get away... cow
-'What's up? (What's up?)'
Won't get away... cow
-'What's up? (What's up?)'
Revolt makes a peaceful man unpredictable
And bloodthirsty, ruthless and much more
Thirsty for revenge and prepared
With iron on his waist, wakes up on
Thursday morning
A crook walking in the backyard
Trying, stealing, the clothes from the clothesline
Look at how fate is, inevitable!
The end of a scoundrel, is lamentable!
That punk who robbed him the other day
Woke up full of bullets, he begged
Nineteen wasted years
It sucks!
Tonight it rains a lot
Why is God crying

A lot of poverty, violence erupts!
Our race is dying
Don't tell me everything's fine!
A lot of poverty, violence erupts!
Our race is dying
Don't tell me everything's fine!

A lot of poverty, violence erupts!
Our race is dying
Don't tell me everything's fine!
A lot of poverty, violence erupts!
Our race is dying
Truth be told!

I've only seen it a few years back, believe me
It's been enough to worry me
In my children, the periphery is all the same
Everyone is afraid to go out late at night and such
Lately, the crazies roam the streets
Crazy in their craving, they stare at you in madness
Asking for money is easier than stealing, dude
Stealing is easier than working, dude
It's complicated
Addiction has two sides
Depends on this or that, or not, it's all wrong
I won't take anyone's side, why?
Who sells drugs to whom? Huh!
Comes here by plane or through the port, docks
I don't know any poor airport owner and more
I'm sad to know and see
That those who die day by day are just like you and me

Periphery is periphery
(What time is it? I can't answer)
Periphery is periphery
(Thousands of houses piled up)
Periphery is periphery
(Slipped up, got small. Believe me)
Periphery is periphery (anywhere)
(Poor people)

Periphery is periphery
(Several open bars, several empty schools)
Periphery is periphery
(And most around here look like me)
Periphery is periphery
(Mothers crying, brothers killing each other. Until when?)
Periphery is periphery
(Anywhere. Poor people)

Periphery is periphery
(Here, my brother, it's every man for himself)
Periphery is periphery
(Kids with no future I can already see)
Periphery is periphery
(Allies, druggies, then)
Periphery is periphery (anywhere)
(Poor people)
Periphery is periphery
(Leave crack aside, listen to my message)
