Só Os Fortes

Only the Strong

ONLY THE STRONG

ANOTHER DAY THAT GOES BY
LOCKED UP IS THE CELL
BLIND JUSTICE, MISSING THE FAVELA
I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, THE SUN RISES SQUARE
TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE BUT I'M AWAKE
DISAPPOINTMENT, I REGRET TO MY MOTHER
I'M THE FIRSTBORN OF THE MARRIAGE
PRAY THE OUR FATHER TO ENTER
HAIL MARY TO ESCAPE
YOU WILL PAY FOR ALL YOUR SINS
PULL OUT HERE IN THIS PLACE
IT'S THE LAW OF THE DOG HERE ON EARTH
DISCIPLES OF LUCIFER HERE AWAITS YOU
I SATISFIED MY EGO, EXCESSIVE VANITY
PARTIES, MONEY, SHOPPING, SUCCESS
BULOVA ON THE WRIST AND SEVERAL CHICKS
SOUND SYSTEM AND DISKETTE IN THE SILVER OMEGA
DREAM OF CONSUMPTION I ALWAYS WANTED
IT'S MY FACE TO BE HAPPY
THE BLACK BMW FASCINATED ME
YOU CAN HAVE ONE, THE DEVIL WHISPERED
WORLD OF ILLUSION, THE CASTLE FELL
IN THE DVC 157, DAMN IT
THE BITCHES, THE TRAITORS LEFT ME
NOT A LETTER THEY SENT ME THESE YEARS
TODAY I SEE FRIEND IS MONEY IN THE POCKET
I DIDN'T SNITCH ON ANYONE, I DIDN'T GIVE THAT PLEASURE
END OF THE AFTERNOON, RARE MEMORIES
THE METRO PASSES, ITINERARY JABAQUARA
CUTTING THROUGH CRUZEIRO, TAKING HOPE
CHILDHOOD TIMES HIT MY MIND
PLAYED WITH THE BROS COPS AND ROBBERS
THE MOVIE ENDS HERE IN DETENTION
WHERE THE SON CRIES AND THE MOTHER DOESN'T SEE 509 BARRA "E"

4x ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE

DAWNED AMEN, THE ROUTINE REPEATS
BOLA QUIACA, HATE, AND CLEANING
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
BUT A BIG ASSHOLE ON THE WALL WITH A GUN IN HAND
LEFT HIS WOMAN TO TAKE CARE OF A THIEF
SMOKING A CIGARETTE, OBSERVES MY REACTION
THE ANIMAL ALERTS ME TO JUMP
RISKING TO PA PA PA
FUSS IN SOCCER, THE WHIP CRACKS
THIEF TROUBLE, SHOCK TROOP PREPARES
TO MOUTH, TO CONTROL, TO SMASH
PROGRAMMED TO KILL
THE PEACE FLAG WILL NOT BE HOISTED
ANOTHER ONE FELL, SEVERAL STABS
BLOOD SPLATTERS, IT'S NOT MAKEUP
ONE LESS RECORD IN THE COUNT
I DODGE, I'M FAR FROM THIS PATH
OTHERWISE, IT DELAYS THE SIDE AND I DON'T RAISE MY DAUGHTER
THE BRO CHAPÔ WENT CRAZY
IF IT'S HIV, TUBERCULOSIS
FEW DAYS SKIN AND BONES
THE SUFFERING ENDED, AUNT ON THE NECK
IN THE PIÃO, I BUMPED INTO A CRAZY FROM THE SLUM
THE BRO CALLED, THE AREA IS MUDDLED
THE VIGILANTES ARE KILLING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
BUT MY FAITH IS THE LIGHT THAT GUIDES ME
JUDAS IS BUSH, ONLY BETRAYAL
NOT EVEN CHRIST ESCAPED FROM THE ROTTENNESS
SUFFERING, VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
I WAS BORN POOR, BLACK, LITTLE LUCK
THE SUN SETS, DARKENS SLOWLY
I'M A HERO, I'M A SURVIVOR

4x ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE

SUNDAY IS VISIT ON THE ISLAND
GOD WILLING, I'LL SEE MY DAUGHTER
EMELYN LAURIN, MY RARE JEWEL
SHE TOOK AFTER HER FATHER, MY FACE
DENNER, JERON, JONNATHAN, AND NITHIELY
ROBERT, EVELYN, AND STEPHANY
THE COSME GANG CAME TO SEE ME
24 HOURS I THINK OF YOU
JOY LASTS A LITTLE, THE VISIT IS OVER
FAREWELL, TEARS, A GOODBYE
MRS. NEUZA SAYS "MY SON, GOD BE WITH YOU"
IT BREAKS MY HEART, THE BIG DEPRESSION
BIG NEUROSIS, RETURN TO THE WING
A GUY WHO WANTS TO HIDE BEHIND THE BIBLE
LIES DON'T WORK, DON'T CREATE
CRIME IS ROTTEN BUT DOESN'T ADMIT MISTAKES
WE'RE NOT FANS OF SCOUNDRELS
THE MIXA FELL, BIG BO 213, IT'S GONNA BE BAD
WITHOUT MERCY, YOU'LL DIE LIKE A PIG
THIEF IN WRATH, RIPS THE NECK
THE SYSTEM DOESN'T REGENERATE ANYONE
AND WHO KILLS ALSO DIES
YOU COST 3 0 0 PER MONTH
TODAY THE FOOD CAME SOUR AGAIN
WHO SOWS WIND REAPS STORM
IF I HAD LISTENED TO MY MOM, I WOULDN'T BE BEHIND BARS
THE JUDGE BANGED THE GAVEL
14 OF RECLUSION INSIDE THIS HELL
ONLY NOW I KNOW THE VALUE OF FREEDOM
A MINUTE HERE IS LIKE AN ETERNITY
COLLEGE IS A THOUSAND DEGREES
1/3 IF I'M LUCKY, I GET PAROLE
ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE IN VIETNAM
MY TOMORROWS BELONG TO GOD
THE SUN SETS, DARKENS SLOWLY
I'M A HERO, I'M A SURVIVOR

"A THOUSAND MAY FALL AT YOUR SIDE
AND TEN THOUSAND AT YOUR RIGHT HAND
BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR YOU
ONLY WITH YOUR EYES
SHALL YOU LOOK AND SEE
THE REWARD OF THE WICKED"
"PSALM 91 WAS NOT IN VAIN"

ANOTHER SURVIVOR...
