Quem Tem Boca Vaia Roma Lyrics in English Cesar Mc

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quem Tem Boca Vaia Roma by Cesar Mc from Portuguese to English.

I killed many in battle but

Intro

I never spoke of hate

I won many in battle but

Intro

I never talked about podiums!

Verse 1

From Morro do Quadro to the world, stealing the scene

Amid pat-downs, born and dirty

From those who deserved cuffs

Verse 1

Time goes by, it's the same old problem

Four hundred years the savanna bleeds as the hyenas laugh!

So reel your line in, mine's Chilean!!

Notice, compare what the media masks

And those who report today don't live the problem

So let's get back to the starting theme

Sorry for any dilemma

I wrote this one in the asylum!

Verse 1

Crazy amid the beef, to end the chit-chat

The wound that birthed the cause, like Maria da Penha!

Kindling! The verse is fire on that smiling wolf

Who wanna pass for sheep

But there's blood on their canines!

Verse 1

They won't slip by, so don't even come to the base!

Wounds from slavery aren't healed with gauze anymore!

Useless like the opinion of those who never lived this phase!!

Save your catchphrases

'Cause I'm the effect of the phrase!

Where I come from we always walk by faith, right

Only with it to win!

So you can tell them I'm standing

'Cause death made me live!

Verse 2

That's why I came to break taboo, on the edge!

Against the media that twists these reports!

The squad car's almost an Uber, but that's no advantage

'Cause when the skin is dark, bro, nothing cancels that ride!

We're still aim, target and rage! Education? Tip!

Where the stray bullet always finds black skin!

Coincidence? This beef is weird

Rubber bullets erase stories of those who never even had a pen!!

Whoa, against injustice my soul screams

Until justice itself returns to Earth!

I won the battles 'cause I was born in war

And he who has a mouth gets to Rome

Verse 2

Whoever has guts faces Caesar!

For real, that defines me

Come on, rhyming was my crime

You can say it'd make a movie!

I ask the Father to always enlighten

So sublime this thin veil

Hell is so visible

So don't stop me from believing in heaven!

Yeah, huh!

Verse 2

I only roll with truth

So f*ck politics

I talk about humanity!

Verse 2

Light doesn't run from darkness, that's why I step in

The system's a monster that kills itself from the inside

And dictatorship's like diabetes: silent!

They'll say it's harmless until it gets disastrous!

In the talk, the world's a defender dying to hurt you

But like Messi I'm on the field and refuse to fall!

And it's the brand-new generation, Vinicius Junior and Paquetá

No point jumping in Rap if you don't know what you're here for!

If you don't know what to put on the track I ask you to hush

'Cause the lyric is cocked and ready to hit you!

Brilliant minds come from where you don't even believe

I came to give rap the checkmate, like Anitta!

Many barriers for whoever dedicates

But today the flow is Roberto Carlos and even the wall falls!

The MC who never laughs while venting

While green and yellow start decorating the streets

I even wanted that joy of seeing the Cup coming

But you can't paint the street

That still has my brothers' blood!

Verse 2

Ah! Hard to recite

A children's song, impossible to deny

And in the ciranda cirandinha the siren comes to frisk me

Telling me to spin around

Without even explaining!

Verse 2

And I'm in that revenge mode, on this suicidal plan

To change the world with faith, paper, pen and beat

Wanna know, amid the chaos, what still drives?

Tell me something more motivating than having no way out!

Tell me, tell me

My help doesn't come from here

SONG MEANING

Grab your headphones and step into the favela’s front row. In “Quem Tem Boca Vaia Roma,” César MC flips the old Portuguese saying quem tem boca vai a Roma (“if you can speak, you can go to Rome”) into a rallying cry for protest: if you have a voice, boo the empire. Over a thunderous beat he fires razor-sharp rhymes about racism, police abuse, media lies, and the 400-year wound of slavery that still bleeds in Brazil. The rapper paints scenes of squad cars that feel like one-way rides, streets that wear World-Cup colors while still stained with blood, and a system that is “diabetes: silent until it turns deadly.” Yet every lyrical jab is laced with faith, humor, and pop-culture nods to Messi, Anitta, and Roberto Carlos, proving that brilliance often blooms where society least expects.

At its core, the song is a testament to resilience through expression. César MC won rap battles without spreading hate, survived life-and-death skirmishes because he was “born in war,” and now wields words as both shield and sword. He urges listeners to break taboos, trust in their own voice, and fight for true justice rather than political showmanship. The message is clear: mouths were not made just to speak but to shout against oppression, transform pain into poetry, and keep hope alive until “própria justiça retorne a Terra.” In other words, if you can talk, do more than travel—shake the throne while you’re at it. 🗣️🎤🇧🇷
