Monogamia

You are disaggregation, you are manipulation
Weapon of opportunists, sustenance of the ignorant
You revealed other dangers that did not exist before
When Jesus prophesied with you over 2000 years ago
Many were attracted, Christ was captivating
Muhammad also preached with you and gave birth to Muslims
You created Judaism, Islam, Christianity
Founded all religions, ah, I generalize
You always exalted Europeans and their victories
And hid the barbarism that made Africa turn into a colony
You exalted men who left America without memory
It was you who wrote our history books
Today to legitimize actions of neo-liberals
You come shamelessly in newspapers, radios, and news programs
That's why 90% of our people are blind
Programmed, as if they were mentally unfit
I see the gratitude that politicians have for you
And how they parade with you, without values, without principles
How they use you in airtime and at rallies
It's you who elect our prime ministers
Because of you, millions of hearts are broken
Friends leave friends, wives leave husbands
You were created for the destruction of individuals
I'm in opposition, so don't count on me

Laaa, laaa
Laaa, laaa
You can't count on me

Laaa, laaa

She is very different from you, that's why I keep her in my heart
She dwells in every feeling I release
She is beautiful, she is just, she only has one face
Those who govern always want to overshadow her
She brings the words of affliction that no one hears
It's that cry of anger in the people's protest
It's the only speech that the brothers embrace
It's the image of the suburbs that the cameras don't capture
It's the hidden product that the mass media don't report
It's what I drop in the studio, and my boys eat up
She comes illuminated in the poems I spread
She comes metaphorized in Saramago's books
The devil's children, active on the other side
Have tried to belittle her, ridiculing Castro
Tried to demonize her, censoring my rap
Tried to silence her, assassinating Malcom X
Tried to intimidate her, torturing Marighella
Tried to incarcerate her with Nelson Mandela
They also tried to exchange her for soccer and soap operas
And they anesthetized those invalids, who now live far from her
But she continues here, they will never suppress her
They will never take her out of my chapel
I will continue to convey her, they only stop me with bullets
You know who speaks, it's her messenger

Laaa, laaa
Laaa, laaa
You can't count on me

Laaa, laaa

I resisted among the most false people you can imagine
Lies never attracted me
I always walked hand in hand with the truth
And it is with her that I have a pact until death
Monogamy

Laaa, laaa
Laaa, laaa
You can't count on me (x6)
