Vida Sem Vida

On the paths of this life I walked there
I felt cold, hungry and had no place to sleep
I ask the gentleman who is passing by on the street
Please give me alms, my stomach is growling
He turns around and says: Get out of here you bum
Look how disgusting it is, he's barefoot and completely filthy
If you didn't want to give me some change
Why did you humiliate me?
I can't say anything everything he said I am
Everyone has a chance in this life, but not me
I have no identity, I have no certainty
I only know I had a mother because I know I was born
But don't ask me her name because I haven't even met her
I'm not a favela dweller, but I wish I was
I'm more messed up, I go to the trash to eat
I am not commended, I do not have a certificate
I am not considered and I am not even a citizen
I'm one of those depressing looking beggars
When we are sleeping they want to set us on fire
If no one gives me work, I can't be a bum
I'm just a beggar, I'm the rest of this world

I am the rest of this world

I never had a name, I know I'm horrible
I have a nickname, they call me smelly
I even go to sleep at seven to forget about dinner
But hunger is violent, it never helps
And there are so many children who will follow my path
Abandoned on the streets, in need of affection
Hey! What is affection?
Ah! I don't know, I've never been alone
My Christmas and new year are repeated every year
Families celebrate and I'm thrown into the corners
A woman's body I can only observe
Because not even a dog wants to stay by my side
The love of a woman I will never know
That's why I ask myself
What did I do to be born?
What did I do to be born? Tell me?

Because I'm an MC of the community
And the lyrics I compose are pure reality
That's why I ask everyone to listen to my voice
If God is for everyone, who can be against us?
