LAR

We were kids, just naive kidsÉramos putos, apenas putos ingénuos
The neighborhood was our homeO bairro era o nosso lar
And we were the fruit of a foreign peopleE éramos fruto de um povo estrangeiro
Who immigrated to try to dreamQue imigrou para tentar sonhar
The closest school was unlike anything else thereA escola mais perto era diferente de tudo que havia
In my world, it was difficult to studyNo meu mundo, custava estudar
There was no affection, they were brutes, they called us rudeNão havia afeto, eles eram brutos, chamavam-nos rudes
They hit and said that these people didn't apply themselvesBatiam e diziam que essa gente não se aplicava
I failed, I failed, I didn't cryEu baldava, chumbava, não chorava
Because I was already angry with some little kidsPorque eu já sentia raiva de uns betinhos
That parents spoiled, enjoyedQue os pais mimavam, gozavam
They said school is your second home, but for different people it was the zooDiziam escola é segunda casa, mais as dos diferentes era o zoo
I rebelled, I hit one, I got tired and it went boomEu revoltei-me, bati num, cansei-me e deu boom
It was just full, it wasn't my fascinationSó estava cheio, não era o meu fascínio
They suspended me on the fifth, they set up a circusSuspenderam-me no quinto armaram um circo
They were scared, they said I was a murdererEstavam com receio, disseram que eu era assassino

I just felt good in the neighborhood, I saw a home thereEu só me sentia bem no bairro, ali via um lar
Nobody cared about language and colorNinguém ligava língua e cor
And whenever I changed scenery I came back angryE sempre que eu mudava de cenário voltava revoltado
Because what I felt is not lovePorque o que eu sentia não é amor

I lost respect at homePerdi o respeito em casa
They doubted I was a good kidDuvidavam que eu era um bom miúdo
It was a complex phase for me, it was nothing but absurdFoi uma fase complexa pra mim não passou de um absurdo
I stayed at home from Monday to Friday alone from hood humFicava em casa de segunda a sexta sozinho do hood hum
And that's when I discovered the dark worldE foi aí que conheci o mundo obscuro
Dealing with kids like meLidava com crianças como eu
When you're not matureQuando não és maduro
Any motherfucker you see as a GodQualquer motherfucker tu vês como um Deus
This neighborhood went from oxygen to a mousetrap and I was the defendantEsse bairro foi de oxigênio a ratoeira e fui réu
What did I do to deserve such an award?O que é que eu fiz para merecer tal prémio
If processes are trophiesSe os processos são troféus
If I hadn't hit one, I wouldn't have been suspended from the cycleSe eu não tivesse batido num, não seria suspenso no ciclo
Finished high school, invested in other curriculaConcluía o liceu, investia em outros currículos
My destiny, whoever wrote it, gave a mission to pitbullsO meu destino quem escreveu deu uma missão para pitbulls
And today who would I be if I skipped this chapter?E hoje quem seria eu se pulasse esse capítulo
I'm curious, actually, I didn't learn anything from the dangerous sideEstou curioso, na verdade, não aprendi nada do lado perigoso
Because life gave me rules when I was still youngPorque a vida me deu réguadas ainda moço
I lost brothers, none got awayPerdi brothers, nenhum safou-se
What I experience today is miraculousO que vivo hoje é milagroso
And the life of a boss, which we aspired to, is far awayE a vida de boss, que a gente ambicionava fica longe

I just felt good in the neighborhood, I saw a home thereEu só me sentia bem no bairro, ali via um lar
Nobody cared about language and colorNinguém ligava língua e cor
And whenever I changed scenery I came back angryE sempre que eu mudava de cenário voltava revoltado
Because what I felt is not lovePorque o que eu sentia não é amor

Not everything that glitters is goldNem tudo que brilha é ouro
Not every chest has treasureNem todo baú tem tesouro
All progress comes with tearsTodo progresso vem com choro
And it's from discomfort that calves become bullsE é do desconforto que bezerros se tornam touros
