Foi Por Pouco

I'm dark-skinned, curly-haired, I live right there
And the neighbors, the common folks, everyone knows me
Many said I wouldn't make it past fourteen
And now in twenty twenty-two I'm turning twenty-seven

With faith in God and feet on the ground
Good kid, from the heart, he deserves it!
Came from the far east side conquering everything
Moved forward but didn't forget where he came from

From the suffering people of the outskirts
We need attention
And every day I pray and every day I ask
For a remedy to heal this nation

From the suffering people of the outskirts
We need attention
And every day I pray and every day I ask
For a remedy to heal this nation

Oh, it was close
Even suffering, he's got a smile on his face
The mutt turned silver into gold

Oh, it was close
Even suffering, he's got a smile on his face
The mutt turned silver into gold

Oh, it was close
Even suffering, he's got a smile on his face
The mutt turned silver into gold

I feel proud
