Por Mim
Tribo da Periferia
For Me
It
I've been in too much of a hurry
Today I prefer to stay observing from here
There's a big difference when you realize
That life oscillates
Between the eagerness to have
And the boredom of possessing
So God
Today I just wanted to thank you for all this
I'm just an ungrateful person in this world
Who has everything they need
But has to prove to others
Sometimes it's not even about money
Just about feeling the truth from your partner who applauds you rise
Life is too short
And today I came to thank
I know I didn't deserve it
Everything you've done for me
I was born ready for war
The heart is fragile
Sometimes it's made of stone
Sometimes it's made of plastic
Starting over beautifully after a tragic end
Is proof that every effort is fantastic
Thank you, for making my life a rare example
In the midst of gunshots, armed friends
And I worried about my mother in the shack
A little distracted aiming at another target
Damn
That's what keeps me safe
There
For having empowered me to face any obstacle again
Thank you very much!
For everything you've done for me
When I needed it the most
When I had no one
And I wasn't feeling well
Even when I made mistakes
Thank you very much, oh father
For everything you've done for me
And I came back
Riding my bike at six in the morning
Damn, firm, I got chills
I remembered Fabin on the Hornet
Diney's white Astra
Living in pure vanity
Learning from necessity
Being rich in lies
Makes you truly poor
Today I am grateful
Thank you God!
For strengthening this son of yours
Before, everything was dark in the shack
After the flood, everything flourished
The past was heavy
That's a fact
My armed friends
Favela-dweller and complicated
It was a bed in the living room and a leaky roof
Mom counting the bills in the shack
God, I am very grateful
You have blessed me in everything
It wasn't in vain
I have achieved
Day and night always by my side
Head held high, kneeling
As always
Thank you very much!
For everything you've done for me
When I needed it the most
When I had no one
And I wasn't feeling well
Even when I made mistakes
Thank you very much, oh father
For everything you've done for me
