Wind and Tide

Hey, the planets aligned
Hey, our lyrics shouted out
Hey, they didn’t silence our restless voices
In the distance, you can see two silhouettes
They’re coming to make you submit

The Dream Team is here, we’ve arrived, ha
We’re gonna take down the famous with no life
Get on your knees, it’s a rotten scene
I see no integrity, I know you’re gonna end up

With endless complexes and depression
If your principles are less than your ambition
Uploading videos for cash and no passion
What are the mirrors in your pretty mansion gonna say?

I don’t know
I don’t have the formula for success (no)
I admit it can be frustrating
I’m just telling you what works for me
I just do what I like, nothing more
And when I’m done, I never have to hate myself

I sleep easy, are you proud?
If I thought about doing what always works
There wouldn’t be any soliloquy
And I could put Norykko or Santa on whatever tracks I want
Because that way people stick around, the views come
It’d be more beneficial, but (but, but)

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t
Looks like this is the moment, bro
They say it’s never too late when the luck is good
You’re gonna become a big fan of the duo that sounds

Since we started, we’ve always been outside the clique
But look, we’ve come far without their help, girl
We rhyme, we burn you like a shot of tequila
With which you get pumped to end up naked

They’ll call us rappers, but there are worse things
I know how to touch asses and I know how to touch hearts

You don’t know how much it pisses me off to admit it
When your drunk friend comes over and condescendingly
Tells me there are other professions
Other options that pay better
That rap is just a childish thing

You fucking clown! Do they even admire you?
Did you change their lives or did you do nothing?
More than forget your passion for a steady job
Feeling obligated to have more kids
Putting up with your wife you don’t love anymore
You’d rather drink in secret and then come give me advice

Well, fuck you!
Everyone has a perfect plan for me
But they don’t fix a single flaw in their lives
I admit this is a really tough journey
And when I feel like I can’t go on, a fan writes me
To tell me I’ve made them change since they started following me
So I can’t look back to regret
I’m going for the impossible (wuh!)

(I’m going!) the planets aligned
(See?) I’ve already reached dreams and goals
(Good) but new ones have come up
Because I want to grow, because I want to learn
Because the universe challenges me

Today inside me there’s gold and mud
(Goes) I want to sweat from every pore
(Hum) Write and let it all out
If I can’t bleed, I can’t touch you
Cruel paradox of the poet

Today I live very comfortably
I can spend time doing what makes me feel good
And I get paid for it
If someone’s bothered, I don’t give a shit
But that’s the prologue, I want to keep rising
And even if I lose something, I’ve spent my life
Breaking the mold, stretching the rope

I didn’t adapt to trends
Since my teenage years, my career was slow
I fought against the established until I fell
I deflated but I got back up
I screamed and armed myself with patience

(Agh!) I’ve faced mobs and that doesn’t disturb me
Deep down it pays off, looking in the mirror without complexes
Because I know it’s worth more than fitting in
Seeing my conscience clean, eh

I didn’t submit to the market
Nor to trends, nor to imposition (no!)
I convinced you being an outcast and now we’re a legion (see?)
I’ve heard my nickname echoed in every performance
And I’m happier composing songs alone with myself in my room

Understand me everyone, I appreciate your support with all my heart
Fame is just a consequence, it’s no longer the mission (no way!)
Money is a means to dedicate time to each song
And do what I want, respect my art
Without having to give any explanation

I could just show my friendly face
And try to reach a wider audience
Go with the flow of bullshit trends
And only use social media for promotion
I could stop expressing my deep disdain for much of humanity
I could pretend I want to adapt, but I’m a warrior, that’s not an option

It’s not my job to please everyone
I’m always caught up in controversy and no
They’re not gonna break me, if they want to silence me
They’ll have to kill me and they don’t have the guts
I’m an artist, I think for myself
I defend that art is free expression
I’m a lion, I’m way above
Sheep that only seek approval from the crowd

I don’t follow trends, I create them, of course I believe it
I’m not lukewarm, I always fight even if I think the world is really ugly
Little by little I’m starting to understand, it’s not easy to live and understand
Sometimes there are lights and shadows that cloud what I feel I came to do

And now I know that deep down I must have hope, otherwise how would I move?
This is a long-distance race and I’ve already covered my needs
But sometimes I forget among luxuries and depression the vision I had yesterday
To leave a legacy that serves for something when I no longer see the sunrise

Against wind and tide (against everything)
Even if the sun goes out (even if it goes out)
Making something that is my life (my dream)
My profession (my dream!)

Licking my wounds (all alone)
I learn from the pain (who said fear?)
The challenge is not to lose my way (never)
Not even with the wind at my back (never)

Against wind and tide (against everything)
Even if the sun goes out (even if it goes out)
Making something that is my life (my dream)
My profession (my dream!)

Licking my wounds (all alone)
I learn from the pain (who said fear?)
The challenge is not to lose my way (never)
Not even with the wind at my back (never)
