Coisas Dessa Vida

(Rashid)
I remember being us in the famous shack, saw
All your struggle for the daily bread
And there I was, with no clue
Wasting my time in front of the television
Watching life go by, saying hello to me!
I'm just passing through but no one will pass by me
I'll tell you what I saw, live and in color
It taught me more than teachers could teach
Maybe fate, with a script from above
My letter of manumission for you to sign
If you raised me to fly, mother
I couldn't go up without taking you, mother
Because pride is what I want to give you
And some other nonsense that I can buy
It's cliché, but I made this song for you
Although all the others are too...

(Rael)
They are turns that the worlds take... They are turns that...
When I, threw myself, where I walked, stumbled, learned
That they are things of this life!

(Rashid)
And at 17 I left home,
When a child grows up, he says he gains wings
Father and Mrs. Nete, Maria Carolina
Put him in line, demand discipline
And at 19 I went to live alone
Now the responsibility is yours, little boy
There was so much trouble, I only asked the king
To keep me where I went and where I will go along the way
I prayed like a monk, sinned like a mortal, that I am
Sick, I even ran away from the hospital, for the show
I asked for a ride on the bus, sometimes
My aunt arranged the transportation, sometimes
Suffered because my condition
Was 0.0 in remuneration, per month, brother...
I could be sure that my problems
Were multiplying by three
Or more, I bought newspapers
And the classifieds say: Hey, never!
See you later. So... I took my bike and left
I went from Arthur Alvim to Mandaqui
I slept in the cold of a sidewalk in SP
But who has nothing, what are they afraid of?
That's when I woke up to realize
That those who have never been beaten by life
Also don't know how to defend themselves, oh.

(Rael)
They are turns that the worlds take... They are turns that...
When I, threw myself, where I walked, stumbled, learned
That they are things of this life!
