If you had seen the confidence of those who told me I would fail
Times have changed, I move forward taking advantage of what I have
But before I leave, I will leave you things that can boost
A whole life!
Man, I'm not pretending, I'm not pretending

To say "Hello" to our fathers, we shake their hand
If we hit our little brothers, it's not to practice
We love each other in our own way, we know there's really nothing mean
We walk in a group, because together, nothing is boring
Youth has changed, likes to act, can dream
About the future, wants everything right away, so sells 100G
Respect disappears, the elders say the same
Here, vice seems normal, we all become crazy
But we are like that, and later, we all hope to become wise men
Yes, later, we would all like to become learned men
For now it wants to dream, so, in the zone, it sells
Raise your lighter
If you want to take off, because at home you feel cramped
We're not pretending, we're going crazy, nothing is faked
It's not the parents' fault, I assure you, we are well educated

Do you think we're pretending?
We see love in the distance
Our parents are worried sick
We see each other less and less
Disappointed without privileges
We have abandoned love
Easier to say, "I'm leaving you!"
Than, "I love you forever!"
It's true
That we have hardened hearts
Oh, yeah, it's true
That we have hardened hearts
Do you think we're pretending?

To honor our mothers, we become responsible
But growing up is not so simple, even far from sandboxes
We make the best of things, especially when there's nothing left to take
We feel miserable, like a shop that has nothing left to sell
Misery guided me, even if today I'm wrinkled
I realized that time kills and I got used to the idea
Our parents all work hard, without any recognition
And we have trouble saying "I love you!", since childhood
We are stone hearts, just good at making sums
But when misfortune strikes, here, only alcohol consoles
We take risky leaps into the void
No matter, we rush headlong in times of crisis
Bet on luck, never, because the street is not pretending
Hard to see the future when the past is bloody
A semblance of love here below for our fellow men
We pay our debts, even if life is not profitable

Do you think we're pretending?
We see love in the distance
Our parents are worried sick
We see each other less and less
Disappointed without privileges
We have abandoned love
Easier to say, "I'm leaving you!"
Than, "I love you forever!"
It's true
That we have hardened hearts
Oh, yeah, it's true
That we have hardened hearts
Do you think we're pretending?

Do you think we're pretending?
If you had seen the confidence of those who told me I would fail
Times have changed, I move forward taking advantage of what I have
But before I leave, I will leave you things that can boost
A whole life!
Man, I'm not pretending
I'm not pretending.
