O Recado

Samuel, Samuel? I need you to go out and buy health. Samuel?
Huh? I need you to go downstairs. Oh, now?
Yes, if not you know that the store will close soon, okay?
Okay. Go. Okay, calm down...

I went to run an errand for my old lady
She wanted health, 5 coins was the note
I closed the door, headed to the store
And to my surprise, I see health on sale.
Alright, I entered the store, the owner was watching TV
He looked pretty old, I approached the counter
And asked: 'Hey boss, how much is health?
For a young guy like you who is still youthful?
It's not for me, it's for my mom who needs it.
The old man looked at me with a hypnotizing look
It's 3000 escudos, you're lucky, it's cheaper'
While he went to get it, I thought, what can I grab?
I acted like a rat, and saw a bottle of respect
I stuffed it in my pants, although it wasn't convenient
The old man got suspicious, gave me the product
And as I was about to leave, he said 'Hold on kid
Take this bottle, it's my gift
It's trust, and for you, it's a sure thing'
I accepted it calmly, thanked him, and said goodbye
Sublime reward through a slight crime
Three for the price of one, investing in savings
But why did the old man trust me?
Does he think I need it? Or does he think I'm not secure?
I'll just prove respect to see if this is genuine.

Hmm, it's there... it's there, good respect.

Moving on with 2 coins in hand
Walking around the neighborhood greeting the people
And it's alright (x8)
After many 'it's alright', I tested my worth
On the way, I met a partner who's a payer
And as I had some cash, I calmed down, paid the bill
And it's alright, it's alright, guide me to a joint
Enter the 7th heaven.
Yo Sam, are you in a hurry?
Calm down boy, you'll go, do this
Lots of talk, appreciated by the man next to me
So where are you from?
I went to run another errand
For my old lady, and told him the rest
What did you say, you have trust and didn't give a bit?
Alright partner, here's a bit
Now don't say I'm stingy, accept it and enjoy
Is your mind made up?
What else do you have?
I have what deserves respect
Then go ahead, let me see the bottle'
Not knowing that the partner steals even more than Vasco
Hmm, take it but this is just to see
Can you believe the bastard started running right away?
With my respect in hand as if it were his
Only health, trust, and a thousand note left
Has the effect of respect already passed?
Or was it the trust he took?
I don't know, but I'll find out soon
I'll test and see the reactions he had.

Ugh, this shit tastes bad!
If this is trust, I haven't seen any signs yet
I'll just go to the cubicle and give the scene to my mom
But the thousand note will stay with me
As soon as I enter the cubicle, she says right away: so?
I heard health was on sale.
If it was, where's the change for me?
No mom, the sale was over.
But I have another bottle of trust here
Maybe it will help with your illness
Mixed with health, well-being is achieved
See this as a form of reward.

I'll go to the magic room to do magic
But it seems that inspiration is empty
After 5 minutes, she comes
Who? My mom. And she says:
What did you steal? As she approaches
Don't you know that man is caught in the act?
Don't you know he sees everything in a surveillance system?
Instead of trust, what he gave you was greed!

What?! Yes, didn't you know that's what he does to everyone who goes there to steal?
Then he gives trust and always puts greed
Do you want to kill yourself or what?!

When my old lady told me, I couldn't believe it
I was tricked by the old man I tricked myself
I thought about going back to the store and show that I'm screwed
But no, I'll write about what happened

Yeah, that's it
