R.U.A 8 (Mensageiros)

I'm tired of crying, I'm gonna fight to smile
Knocking down giants with the courage of David
I survived the evil that poisons
Faith is the antidote to lift me up in the arena

The pain turned into a poem, the tear the ink
A pen writes life so your soul can feel
The weight of the poetry that the heart carries
No matter how hard the world hits, we won't give in
A samurai in the saga, prayer is my dagger

I'm classic in the rhyme, like a Sega game
Keep me away from the plague, the pest that spreads
The Judas that hugs you is the same one that blinds you
At sixteen, I became Superman
Too early to ever see my daughter go hungry
And the scar won't fade, not even with Cicatricure

There's no armor that pain won't pierce
Who knows if time will heal and erase the wound
Those who judge without knowing the pain we deal
I kept hope alive, childhood was tough
My mom was a warrior more than Dandara and Frida

Remember your crown not just in May
Nostalgia is like a bullet, life isn't a rehearsal
How many lessons I learn every time I fall
Who came to be king but got lost in the lightning
Ambition hides candles and sealed coffins
And the fear of Jorge dying unloved
Who's right or wrong, judgment and prison
And those who once went hungry now share their vision

I have a São Paulo accent but I'm from Bahia
Man Hélio and just a point in monster mode, veteran
I'm spending style like a hustler
It's not just for cash, though
I always hear the demons calling
I roll with Nocivo and the crew
I use my mind like a weapon, approaching
I grew up seeing my crew dealing
Only got home in the morning
How to escape this world, there's no way
Religion and lyrics are killing

Love that's good, Jesus that's good
But in hearts, it's lacking
It's hard to be genuine while still winning
Adam and Eve and the apple, I see nothing changing
New slavery and the damn rap bluffing
What you see is just ambition and Instagram blowing up
Lives in the background (yeah)
I get you, man

We want to be sober but sometimes we're high
(Crazy stuff)
Want to give a hundred percent and everything but the fear is so much
(I know, I know, I know)
Want to talk by the law but think like a vandal (ha)
Want to train but are lazy
See the good stuff, want to buy but can't, just picking up
Want to read a book and the TV's like?
It's all closed off with feminists and just on Xvideos, crazy
It's time to question if this is really the vibe we want
Even in front of the kids, we smoke
(Hey, say)
In the hood, gray sky
Only the cops are scared?
No, the people are tense
Your fake friends more than a damn anime
A waterfall of arguments

Respect is law
And also for those who have
Love serves, only for those who have to give
I registered and came to charge
Who isn't, should know how to respect
Who’s in the game is in it
'Cause I love real rap, good to see you, voice
Favela won't be silenced
Healed man sees with the kids
For the private, hope
You don't win with arrogance
Here, unity breaks the villain's locks

You're the air I breathe
Always with me, in the sky
For me, God is good
Allowing coexistence, I dodge
And He keeps me safe from the dogs
Well-said saying
Perception makes reality
Even if that perception is a lie
Knowing how to uphold the truth in writing
And in this race that I run
Faith is the fuel and no rearview mirror
The DLL stayed, so let's be on the hook
A good warrior doesn't run from battle
Past mistakes don't allow, but fail
It's the messenger from the hood
It's the heavy Koba Koba villain
So catch the vision
It's Jangadeiro, Indian hill, Capão

Believe in yourself
Don't let yourself be shaken
The sky is the limit
You can surpass
There are no barriers
Limits, borders
This is your path
You shouldn't
Believe in yourself
Don't let yourself be shaken
The sky is the limit
You can surpass
There are no barriers
Limits, borders
This is your path

You shouldn't stop
You shouldn't stop
You shouldn't stop
If you fight and conquer
No one will stop you
And no one will stop you
And no one will stop you
Faith in God that your time
Will come, will come

Black woman, my style flows here
And flow always evolves
My voice, no one diminishes
My fight, I fought for it
To be me, I battled
For my people, I gave
With truth, I always was
Perseverance brings me confidence
But I lost count of the times I lost hope
But I always see the change
In the eyes of every child, I see in the ghetto
Without fear, I keep hustling without brakes
One dies, thousands are born, and so it goes
Our shout won't be silenced here
I calculate the risk and insist on the double work
I invest, if I believe, there's no one who will stop me

If the moment requires care, a lot of attention
Listen and stay alive for there to be a revolution
Words go from generation to generation
Because the idea doesn't die, it goes from heart to heart
The periphery exists far beyond every cliché
There's war, there are dreams, value is what you can have
If wanting were power, tell me
If you prefer to live or just survive
What torments you is what also torments me
And if it's bad, we'll find a way but don't panic
Stars can't lose their shine if
They're the ones that grace the sky so the night won't fall

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, the street!
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho (SNJ)
So go
Tell me, tell me, tell me, explain to me
There are various stories, only those from there (know!)
You gotta be from there (know!)
Believe, every year that passes multiplies
Oh life!
Where the poor are born poorer
Rich are born richer
Police that kill
Corrupted governments
But before arriving, let me tell you
Respect is for those who have, right?
So, you gotta respect
The real deal is to hang out in the favelas
Walk in the alleys and streets, so that's it
So I hit the street 100, invited survivors
The acronym, the acronym, in the fight moving forward

Respect and a lot of consideration
From the heart, it's from favela to favela
Excuse me here, the street, the ghetto
Hip hop, rap, 4P for the black people
MD, Mania of tagging, of graffiti, protesting
Expose your art, (because art)
Here pulses true hearts
Desire to live and see our communities grow
Dream, it's necessary to dream
Believe in being an MC and graduate
Brothers and sisters who rhyme, the DJ who scratches
Stay with God and see you later, favela
Ho! Ha!
The acronym, the acronym, SNJ, we are justice
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, the street

In punishment, I only saw paths with acidity
Deserts in storms
Disappointments, division
In the mind, it's the hit, the bad
Fears sound the drums
Between the cross and the sword and the evil and the good
In the sorting, anxiety and friction
Average, medium with measure, beggar
Paraná is a corpse and the salute comes from the slum
Life in crime is a business in a risk contract
Tyrannosaurus rap, The Bad Favorite
Cousin of cousin IT, nephew of Uncle Chico
Agile like a stumble, slow like a mosquito
The mind like a USB drive, gigabytes to Egypt
Crisis destroys inheritance, but never my destiny
No matter the condition, in the ghetto, everyone is rich
Who acts like a thug never understood Pipo

On the day of the visit, I cried seeing my son
Close to death, the shock invasion
And the system knows how to strike
And the sun was born square and laughs
Even with a tear in the corner of my eye
Boots with masks, worse than a virus is a cry
The street is long, it's a big carpet, just explosive
Who acts like a judge never had sense
Propitious climate, asylum in vice
Heads rolling from the beginning to the prison
(Release me, I already got out)
We have one, two, three BO
(Remove the handcuffs from Frankenstein's wrists)
And with each return, the record gets bigger

One minute is all I have
So let's go to the fight
The idea here has to be checkmate
But I didn't come to knock down the pawns like in chess
I came to lift the fallen, the idea is rescue
For me, it's not worth everything just to make money
Many doors don't even open, I lose opportunities
But if it depends on me to call a woman a dog
Not even dreaming, after all, my wife, daughter, and queen don't bark
Every hour in Brazil, 15 women abused
(There might be one in your hood)
And we're finding it beautiful, a clip with a half-naked woman

(Shh, I won't say anything)
That song isn't commercial
(Made in Paraná)
I sing what they want and what I feel
I agree that this doesn't sell
They want ostentation and trash music
I don't know if it's a lack of age
Or responsibility if you understand me
It's in freedom, listen to what you want
Sing what you want
Be careful with what you applaud
I don't act like a boss, nor say someone is a loser (no)
I'm not the owner of the truth
I'm happy to see today rap making money
It's cool to see the kids earning a dime
But before Hitmaker, Thiagão is a messenger
And Jesus Christ and values, I don't put up for sale, catch it!

Believe in yourself
Don't let yourself be shaken
The sky is the limit
You can surpass
There are no barriers
Limits, borders
This is your path
You shouldn't
Believe in yourself
Don't let yourself be shaken
The sky is the limit
You can surpass
There are no barriers
Limits, borders
This is your path

You shouldn't stop
You shouldn't stop
You shouldn't stop
If you fight and conquer
No one will stop you
And no one will stop you
And no one will stop you
Faith in God that your time
Will come, will come
