R.U.A 10 (Rosas de Aço)

R.U.A 10 (Steel Roses)

[Cris SNJ]
I'm a fighter, I don't run, I fought, I achieved
So many thorns on the path, as I walked
I heard I gave up on so many who wanted to see me fall
That even today wonder how I got here

Warrior me and my son in my arms, alone
I remember the taste of tears on every line
I was persistent in the hustle, I'm not just a black girl
I'm Cris Negrona Zona Sul for those who thought I wouldn't come

Very strong, capable, powerful, in the midst of chaos I grew up
I tame my shadow, I don't fall, I practice everything I know
I share peace with mine and war to those who are of the law
Try to go against us out of envy we're worse than you

Made for steel like Marielle Franco
Only those who are understand the pain and its size
We resist very strong to bumps and setbacks
So that the system doesn't hinder our progress anymore

[Rakel Reis]
Faith and hope brought me here
I killed the hatred that existed within me
I became a steel rose resistant to pain
Every weakness my tears washed away

Faith and hope brought me here
I killed the hatred that existed within me
I became a steel rose resistant to pain
Every weakness my tears washed away

Hail! Between prayers and the street I follow
Once again rising after the abyss
Mother of three boys with no time for tears
Stepping on scumbag men, I don't accept disrespect

I came to resist the blows of life
In panties still a girl in the streets of Aparecida
I ate the bread that the devil kneaded, living in a canvas shack
I returned to feminine fury dominating everything

My heart petrified, my mother made me a woman
Today I am the voice of the girls, the sisters, the Queer
I represent resistance, the strength of the black woman from the favela
Out of the standard, damn it
My beauty, my standard, my soul
My mind turned into a weapon

Spitting words on the scrolls
Setting fire to the scene of Dina Di who paved the way
Don't be shocked, the name is strong!
Aggressive sledgehammer, steel rose we're together for the war for real!

[Nay Lopes]
The tough of all tough
Voice in fist, my weapon
Rhymes deep in the soul
Nay Lopes here speaking
From Tiradentes ZL SP I'm a creation of the hood
Of all the roses the steel thorn that counterattacks
Reference of nothing full of flaws in life
But there are those who identify
So respect and lower your crest
I didn't come to divide, because those who don't gather are the ones who spread on the track
Feel the power that RUA 10 is all female voice
The world turns and can stop, but I don't stop
One day I may even fall but I don't stay on the ground
I know who listens to this sound hoping for my failure
Doesn't keep up with the rhythm even though I rhyme on beat
You say you support women but have a fetish for men
Lick balls all year and remember them in March
If I depended on sponsorship and shady producers
I would be forgotten, that's why I do my own thing

And I'm not just a girl, I'm one more girl
If you want take my hand and none will be left behind
They tried to imprison me as they did in Alcatraz
If it depends on my flesh the cannibals will starve

[Karol Kolombiana]
How many roses on the street life recruits
The mind acts, the body resists
It doesn't situate, what changes is the whole behavior
Perpetuate your posture so as not to fall into the path of the hard
Self-destruct, life censors before even trying
Who judges you for being rough, obscure and not faltering
Fearless and with faith, in oneself and standing
Sustaining the correct word in the cover I don't go back
All this time with pain, without compassion, only lack of love
Today asks for forgiveness to free you from the accuser
Who went to fight? Who went to fight for me?
Alone I discovered my worth and survived
Today I realized, the bad actions don't make me suffer
On the contrary, it shielded me and made me grow
Stopped time, rescued the light I lost
Find your peace nothing can stop you

[Karla Vecchia]
My revolt for the murdered girls is timeless
By the police is assaulted, silenced at home
Marias Da Penha is growing throughout Brazil
The favela is targeted and the homeland here is not kind

In the delivery room without dignity, handcuffed
I survived, shout out to the prison mass
I have plenty of reasons, I set fire to the patriarchy
I know well who I am just another steel rose

I'm no longer a perfect body with an empty mind
I'm here overcoming all the hatred of fatphobia
I'm a free woman living boldly
Fuck your prejudice and all that cowardice

I'm just another rose that crack shattered
I flourished from the thorns because my father rescued me
Siren noise femicide again
If justice doesn't solve it I make my own laws

[Rakel Reis]
Faith and hope brought me here
I killed the hatred that existed within me
I became a steel rose resistant to pain
Every weakness my tears washed away

[Alim]
Not even makeup will hide the pain of the wounded soul
Subject to men and drugs seeking to be fulfilled
We are steel roses from the street survivors
In need and willingness, crime was convenient

Inexperienced, I thought I knew what freedom was
I saw myself a slave to ego, anger, and vanity
Living an empty life in constant pursuit of happiness
It was when I understood that the emptiness I felt
Only God could truly fill

I don't wave a flag, I don't stick a sticker, rap has no party
If we unite with the system this sound wouldn't even make sense
In favor of those who go against everything God wants
I was a woman against man, man against woman

Child in depression, without attention, anxiety disorder
Since a baby addicted to the cell phone
Growing up without knowing what is right and reality
And for the world becomes unprepared

I am a woman of the stage, of business, and of the home
Being a housewife is a reason to be proud
The pain that reminds me of my bleeding body and seeing my son dead
Will never support the pro-abortion movement

I don't owe you anything, your speech doesn't respect me
Says it's for me, but if I disagree it rejects me
If what you want is a punchline then take it, so enjoy
I am who I am Alim MC I don't change to be accepted, pow!

[Kmila CDD]
I already have my name engraved in history
Many comings and goings are on my journey
Today I live more at home but the street was my school
I learned to do my hustle without settling for charity

I leave the enemy behind, falsehood doesn't stick
Rotten merchandise doesn't even enter my bag
That's how I learned to be a steel rose
I've been in the game for a long time, I always grow with each step

My family comes first, husband and daughter
Top priority within my spreadsheet
No time to worry about the rest
You can see who is who in every small gesture

I'm aware, I don't fall into the trap
Arguing with ignorant people was never my thing
Lack of discipline, how rude
It's in the skin of a humble person with a soul of arrogance

Intolerant, annoying, delusional thinking
Words stored I find little interesting
It's like Sandra De Sá: I throw it in the trash
To continue being impartial always out of the buzz
Guest of BUSHID I bring my black skin
Controlling my time like in an hourglass
I'm from Rio De Janeiro, a creation of CDD
You already know my name, think before you speak: Kmila
