Verse 1
Ainda me lembro aos 3 anos de idade
I still remember when I was 3 years old
O meu primeiro contato com as grades
My first contact with the bars
O meu primeiro dia na escola
My first day at school
Como eu senti vontade de ir embora
How I felt like going away
Fazia tudo que eles quisessem
I'd do whatever they wanted
Acreditava em tudo que eles me dissessem
I believed everything they told me
Me pediram pra ter paciência
They asked me to be patient
Falhei, gritaram, cresça e apareça!
I failed, screamed, grow up and show up!
Cresci, apareci e não vi nada
I grew up, showed up and didn't see anything
Aprendi o que era certo com a pessoa errada
I learned what was right with the wrong person
Assistia o jornal da tv
Watched the tv news
E aprendi a roubar pra vencer
And I learned to steal to win
Nada era como eu imaginava
Nothing was as I imagined
Nem as pessoas que eu tanto amava
Not even the people I loved so much
Mas e daí, se é mesmo assim
But so what if it's really like that
Vou ver se tiro o melhor pra mim
I'll see if I can get the best out of myself
Me ajuda se eu quiser, me faz o que eu pedir
Help me if I want, do me what I ask
Não faz o que eu fizer, mas não me deixe aqui
Don't do what I do, but don't leave me here
Ninguém me perguntou se eu tava pronto
No one asked me if I was ready
E eu fiquei completamente tonto
And I was completely dizzy
Procurando descobrir a verdade
Trying to find out the truth
No meio das mentiras da cidade
In the midst of the city's lies
Tentava ver o que existia de errado
I was trying to see what was wrong
Quantas crianças deus já tinha matado
How many children god had ever killed
Beberam o meu sangue e não me deixam viver
They drank my blood and wouldn't let me live
Têm o meu destino pronto e não me deixam escolher
They have my destiny ready and won't let me choose
Vêm falar de liberdade pra depois me prender
They come to talk about freedom and then arrest me
Pedem identidade pra depois me bater
They ask for id and then hit me
Tiram todas as minhas armas como posso me defender?
They take away all my guns, how can I defend myself?
Vocês venceram essa batalha, quanto à guerra vamos ver
You've won this battle, as far as the war is going to
