Preta de Quebrada

Black from the Hood

If you don't care, you didn't understand anything
I'll solve the problem of this hurt girl
If you don't care, you didn't understand anything
I'll solve her problem this dawn

I'll give her a candy, brought a coconut sweet
For her to eat whenever she remembers this guy
Brought a necklace for her, a silver necklace
For her to remember me every time she goes to the party
Judge the book by its cover, I know she's really pretty
But I have to say that doesn't mean anything
Don't stay at home idle, look at your face
Time to remember that only your self-love heals
If he messed up, hold on
No one deserves to be taken for a fool
My feelings speak, talk to the soul
And my mind concludes that I deserve respect
I'm a strong woman, black from the hood
And the comfort I have is the money that pays
And whether in the favela or in the buildings, I'm at home
I do rap well done so I lack nothing
I'll become a millionaire, millionaire
Without ever depending on a man to have my things
I walk my path (consciousness never dies)
I'm a living example of a woman who doesn't stay silent

Man, if you don't care, you didn't understand anything
I'll solve the problem of this hurt girl
If you don't care, you didn't understand anything
I'll solve her problem this dawn

(Knowing how to position ourselves internally)
(So that natural qualities sprout)
(Without us needing to come to an agreement)
(Without us saying: Will you love me for 20, 30, 40, 50 years?)
(Certainly the person will love you forever)
(But maybe not in the way we would like)
(Not in the scheme we would like)
(Things change)
(The faces of love can change)
(But we don't know, we don't know how to relate)
(To reality from this perspective, right? Of freedom)
(This is an invitation to be an adult)
(So)

If you don't care, you didn't understand anything
I'll solve the problem of this hurt girl
If you don't care, you didn't understand anything
I'll solve her problem this dawn

Man, if you don't care, you didn't understand anything
I'll solve the problem of this hurt girl
If you don't care

(We will no longer control life to be happy)
(We will take responsibility for our happiness autonomously)
(Knowing ourselves)
(And as mature, adult beings)
(We will give people the freedom to be who they are and what they can be)
(This is love)
