Pés Na Areia (Promessas)

One more for the collection

I promised you that I would be fine and I am, really fine
I break taboos, I don't break promises
I changed realities with dreams of migrants
And even my problems seem better than before
And it's not about showing off
It's about paying attention to others and making them try
Until they realize it's possible
And it's us who are here
Since today the brands send me what I could never buy before
And it's not rude to say, because I succeeded in life
At home, now my brothers have the freedom to dream
About international trips
I want to see being an entrepreneur like us
Starting without parents' money
Startup from the hood, God is the investor
Stopped so much for photos that they think I'm a player
They compared me to Paulinho; I liked it, scoundrel
I arrived quietly and today I'm with the best in the world

Feet in the sand in front of the vastness
(Are you understanding me?)
The waves break, my spirit doesn't
(I have no time to lose)
With so much sky to gain
Why would I be just another one fighting for the ground?
(From now on, every game is a final!)
Feet in the sand in front of the ocean
Hand in hand with her, jhow, follow the plan
(Life is only one!)
Check if it's not you who's parked
Before saying that I'm the one changing

In the desert I saw the flower born
I saw
Never say never to a dreamer
And I am

I promised you that I would be fine and I am
Playing at a high level, buddy, like Eto'o
But more than changing my life
I still want to change the world with these verses
Even seeing that this is very retro
And it's impossible not to remember the days
Meetings far away, empty stomach
Without a damn penny, dude, self-esteem disappears
Everyone eating at McDonald's and I pretending I wasn't hungry
Today they send headphones with my name
There are those who try to shine on the microphone with my name
I've said no to proposals that you'll never know
These no's define me more than the yes's that everyone sees
I came from the street, listen
Where your actions matter, and I'm not talking about the stock market
Forget the others and do your own thing, I hear
So I'm getting rid of the grudges to have more space in my pockets

Feet in the sand in front of the vastness
The waves break, my spirit doesn't
With so much sky to gain
Why would I be just another one fighting for the ground?
Feet in the sand in front of the ocean
Hand in hand with her, jhow, follow the plan
Check if it's not you who's parked
Before saying that I'm the one changing

In the desert I saw the flower born
I saw
Never say never to a dreamer
And I am

When I see everything I've lived
It seems like a movie, but it's all real
Since early on I believed in myself
And my faith kept me loyal
It's not a sin to want to evolve
Suffering is not natural
For those hyenas out there
I want to see who will laugh in the end

Until next time, huh?
I'm going!
