Um Pedido

Have you ever thought if I had stoppedJá pensou se eu tivesse parado
Given up halfwayDesistido no meio do caminho
When the rain was dripping on the roofQuando a chuva escorria na telha
And the neighbor's table was the most abundant?E a mesa mais farta era a do vizinho?
How many times I felt aloneQuantas vezes me senti sozinho
Unable to look in the mirrorIncapaz de olhar pro espelho
But able to exercise my faithMas capaz de exercer minha fé
And express my pain crying on my kneesE expressar minha dor chorando de joelho

I remember the dream of the Audis, the smoke in the darknessLembro do sonho das Audi, da fumacera no breu
The rich kids and the Opalas, burning rubberDa playboyzada e dos Opalas, as queima de pneu
I saw four of my friends fall for foolish crimesVi quatro amigo meu ir pro crime de otário
I saw five black men in the favela become entrepreneursVi cinco preto na favela virar empresário

It doesn't matter if my mother has cried beforeTanto faz se minha mãe já chorou
If her smile is so beautifulSe o sorriso dela tá tão lindo
It's just that today I can give youÉ que hoje eu posso te dar
A purer hug, a car, a dressUm abraço mais puro, um carro, um vestido
And if it was for those who saidE se fosse por quem já falou
That the kid wouldn't lastQue o moleque não ia durar
Who traded the gun for loveQue trocou o revólver no amor
Wanted to rap, didn't want to studyQuis cantar rap, não quis estudar

Now it's champagne and a lowered carAgora é champ e nave rebaixada
The jet on the hitch of the naughty oneO jet no engate da danada
From here to Riviera is almost nothingDaqui pra Riviera é quase nada
Going down the Baixada, feel the accelerationDescendo a Baixada, sente a acelerada

One day I saw a shooting star and made a wishUm dia eu vi uma estrela cadente e fiz um pedido
I believe, I was answeredCreio, fui atendido
It was just a boy playing with his friendsEra só um menino brincando com os amigo
I made this one to remember those who were with meFiz essa aqui pra relembrar daqueles que estavam comigo
Sharing the smileDividindo o sorriso
Everything I believe in, I will achieve soonTudo que eu acredito, não demora, eu conquisto

On the balcony, the models sunbathingNa sacada, as modelo tomando Sol
Glass of 43 with AperolCopo de 43 junto com Aperol
The chains shining like a lighthouseAs corrente brilhando tipo farol
Like an expensive soccer playerTipo jogador caro de futebol
How much is the power of smooth talkQuanto vale o poder do Migué
In a woman's ear?No ouvido de uma mulher?
I spoke right in her earEu falei bem no cantinho dela
Speak softly, that we are from the favelaFala baixinho, que nóis é favela

Now it's champagne and a lowered carAgora é champ e nave rebaixada
The jet on the hitch of the naughty oneO jet no engate da danada
From here to Riviera is almost nothingDaqui pra Riviera é quase nada
Going down the Baixada, feel the accelerationDescendo a Baixada, sente a acelerada

One day I saw a shooting star and made a wishUm dia eu vi uma estrela cadente e fiz um pedido
I believe, I was answeredCreio, fui atendido
It was just a boy playing with his friendsEra só um menino brincando com os amigo
I made this one to remember those who were with meFiz essa aqui pra relembrar daqueles que estavam comigo
Sharing the smileDividindo o sorriso
Everything I believe in, I will achieve soonTudo que eu acredito, não demora, eu conquisto
