Deixa Eu Falar

It was, it was, it was, it was, my bad, man!
If I said a bunch of things you don't like
With the microphone I have the upper hand
I look at the newspaper, I listen to the radio, I only hear crap
And on TV I don't like anything I see

A child-sized straitjacket
You'll have to explain every detail to me
Why does the law only apply to me
They say I'm a danger to society
And I think to myself
Why not me to spit out thoughts and be labeled a crime?

(It's winter in hell and embers are falling
Please, everyone hide in your homes
For the fallen angel flies with new wings
Raimundos, Nativus, Black Alien
Breaking the spine of sons of bitches
As in a shallow water dive)

Freedom of speech!
Let me speak, you motherfucker!
Expression!

(Free speech is what builds a nation
Regardless of the currency and its value)
Let me speak, you motherfucker!
Expression!

Pay attention to what I'm going to say
Consciousness and rebellion is what I need
Because my mind demands
In hardcore or reggae
The message comes from the streets, can't hide it
I have a secret
I'm not afraid anymore
Life is worthless if I don't express myself
Whether right or wrong, sober or high
Who's a lizard from the cerrado will never change

Freedom of speech!
Let me speak, you motherfucker!
Expression!

Let me speak, you motherfucker!
Expression!

Freedom of speech!
Let me speak, you motherfucker!
Expression!

(Free speech is what builds a nation
Regardless of the currency and its value)
Let me speak, you motherfucker!
Expression!!

(From June to June I'm born
I die from March to March
I witness scenes impossible to translate to the cinema
I don't miss performances and acts
Even when I bend down to tie my shoelaces
Space, space, I need space
To show these cowards their steel twilight
Imperial, like Carlos, I pass by
Northeastern Connection
To Niterói, Death and Life Severina
Passing through Brasília
Kings)

(Fuck!)
