Dois Manos

Killed
Bled

Same age, same dream in each one
Besides being broke, they had more in common
They wouldn’t accept the life they were living
And school wouldn’t give them what they wanted
First robbery, they hit a bakery
No weapon, just a hand under the shirt
Running here and there, look at those guys
Loaded with cash, front line in the gang

From then on, robbing banks was the norm
Victory, Rio, coast to coast
On any random night, a woman shows up
Who would only bring discord and trouble

Killed, the brother God never gave you
Bled, the same blood as you
Killed, the brother God never gave you
Bled, the same blood as you

And one of the guys got involved with this woman
The other said: If you love her, go for it!
And that hug moved everyone watching
First kid’s named after you, the other laughed
But in the hood, everyone was already aware
She wanted the other guy, the one with the status
But he, right, pretended not to notice
And her hatred was for being ignored

Using the gun that the devil gave you
Told the guy: That one’s not your friend!
And it’s not new that he’s been wanting me
He’d even kill you without a second thought, babe, just watch!
And the guy left, and soon the other saw
Grabbed the piece and shouted: You’re being shady!
Singing to my girl, you of all people, what’s up?
Crime is crime, no room for scumbags!

And the other guy whispered without moving
For this life I gave to protect you
I never did this, I swear, my brother
Turning my back now, it’s your call

Killed, the brother God never gave you
Bled, the same blood as you
Killed, the brother God never gave you
Bled, the same blood as you

No matter how much wealth there is in the world
Who has friends has everything, has everything!
The hearts of the brothers ache deep down
This Christmas was in mourning!

No matter how much wealth there is in the world
