Cuidar de Mim (part. Aranha e Treia)

Taking Care of Myself (feat. Aranha & Treia)

My pockets are hurting, trying to live on the bare minimum
And the minimum's so little for someone playing with fate
But I don't care, 'cause I live the night in celebration
I can never be rushed, and I refuse to stop being a kid

I have to take care of myself
No one gives me the affection I give
I can't guarantee it's that easy (that easy)
Tears hide the screams inside
Because I have to take care of myself

I'm tired of getting beat up and
Every time I get hit, having to turn the other cheek
Enough is enough, screw it, I'm gonna throw it back
I'll throw that screw it even if my mom didn't let me

I have to take care of myself
But how can I take care of myself if I procrastinate so much?
If in crucial moments I don't trust myself?
If I spend most of my day at work?
(Aah)

(I need to put an end to this)

I'm thinking of cleaning up my beard and hair
But without showing off to others, just for myself
If I don't chat with you, don't point fingers
You never know if the next person's in a black hole

No one cares about anyone else
(I saw so many people leave me)
When I wasn't doing well
(I had to turn myself around alone)
The guy who's doing well now
(And now wants to love me)
And if I wasn't doing well
No one would call me

When I'm making money with Adsense
(These guys want to hang around)
If I'm on track like a train
(Then they come to praise me)
If they see you don't have money
(They quickly go away)
If I act crazy at the Febem (youth detention center)
(Then they start to respect you)

Don't look at me, I'm not ready to go out
Don't insist, I just got here
If I said how much I wanted to lie
I tried but I couldn't, it's better to stop trying

I have to take care of myself
No one gives me the affection I give
I can't guarantee it's that easy
Tears hide the screams inside
Because I have to take care of myself
