Chalice

Father, I miss you out here on the street
In the field while I'm playing ball
I remember the day you said goodbye
In a racket business, you carried a rifle
I pretended not to see out of respect for you
But my heart started to ache that day
At that moment, a thought arose in me
How will I behave with you in there?

Who will be with me at the meeting?
Who will correct my lesson for me?

Today, I want to express my feelings in this letter
And I hope it reaches you in there
That the system doesn't prevent you from receiving
The declaration of love, Dad, I love you!
If the government hadn't diverted the capital
Hadn't turned our people into criminals
You'd be with me in the rr spinning top
You wouldn't be in there at the mercy of the enemy

Sorry, Dad, I couldn't hold it in, I had to speak
When you ended up there, I didn't know how to express myself
The purpose of this letter is simply to say
That we don't care about what made you suffer
We're here, the family together to strengthen
Even after 30 years, I'll be with you
I'm focused on school, trying to set an example
That not every child of a fish has to go astray
You're with me out here, we'll figure it out
I'm just like you, I don't talk nonsense
I'm one more on the mission, like a revolution
Just legally so I don't end up in prison

I don't want to know about anything, this is the
First Command of the Capital
Your number one enemy...?
Chalice, keep this chalice away from me, Dad
Chalice, keep this chalice away from me

Son, you understand that I didn't mess up
Every revolution has a price to pay
Some die, some kill, others go to prison
Fortunately, I'm part of this manifestation
As you said yourself, you were a baby
Dad, a soldier programmed to die
Even if society doesn't understand the purpose
We from the Capital spread our hatred

Unfortunately, the reaction had to come
From the prison system tired of swallowing
It organized, debated, decided to solve
And today it took shape, we're here, PCC
A rifle, a brother, a system, a war
On the other side, our people silently observe
Don't worry, the letter not only arrived
But made your hero dismantle like a robot

Chalice, keep this chalice away from me, Dad
Chalice, keep this chalice away from me
Be careful! The end of the world is coming!
There's a boy singing rap like a thug
He infiltrated, got involved like KGB
He's really involved to want to know
What we think, what we do is no longer a secret
The boys bought this gift that was only from the ghetto
I imagine these guys how they're rhyming
It's all nonsense, babbling
Like a circle, go away, and go take care of your father's cattle
We didn't pay these boys for the Sig Sauer
Who just wanted your sister and your Tag Heuer
And today we're employed by his company
He gives orders and we comply, it's a cattle's life!
I already know your response is to boycott me
What you've been doing for years and won't change
Someone from the rap scene answer, I have a question
No one answers, I'll speak, you listen
No one has seen in these rap singer parties
They never participate, they always forget
And yet the track grows in the mouths of the people
While the troop of fools plays the fool
Rap singers are resented everywhere
When they meet me, they pretend to be my allies
Forgive them for me, son, I'm telling you
Now it's your generation that's reigning
Who messed up, who betrayed will have to pay
Who wrote and didn't live the rap will be charged
I may be crazy to say all that I say
Not afraid of the rotten cakes of the parties
Here I am, soundtrack always criminal
Revolution that way, I don't admire
I respect my people who consecrated me
And I don't change for money, I sing for love
Representative of the slums all over Brazil
The voice of those who are imprisoned, a rifle shot
Who carries rap in their heart until the end
For those who liked and didn't like, soundtrack of the ghetto!
Chalice, keep this chalice away from me, Dad
Chalice, keep this chalice away from me
