This shit is a minefield
How many times I thought about jumping from here
But, then, my area is all I have
My life is here and I don't need to leave
It's very easy to run away, but I won't
I won't betray who I was, who I am
I like where I am and where I came from
The teachings of the slum were very good for me

Each place a place, each place a law, each law a reason
I always respected
Any jurisdiction, any area, Jd. Santo Eduardo
Grajaú, Missionária, Funchal, Pedreira and so on, Joaniza
I try to guess what you need most
Raise your gum or buy some clothes, a lawyer to get your brother out
On visiting day you say, that I will send cigarettes to the guys in X
So, as I was saying, good blood
This is not a sermon, listen, I have the gift
I know how it is, it's tough partner
Eh, evil in the head all day long

No clothes, no car, no job
No hype, no hangout, no money
So, no chance, no woman
You know very well what she wants is
Find one of character if you can
But there are, it's complicated or isn't it?
No one is more than anyone, absolutely
Here who speaks is another survivor
I was just a kid, I only thought about dancing
Black hair and All Star sneakers

In the function wheel, a lot of mess, drinking dry wine around the fire
All night long, just telling stories
About crime, about the troubles at school
I didn't care, I didn't take anything seriously
I admired the thieves and the older crooks
But pay attention, look around you and tell me
What has improved? Who survived from the function? I don't know
A lot of funerals have happened since then
Which mother will cry next?
Ha, it took a while but today I can understand
That real cunning is to live
I thank God and the Orixás
I stopped halfway and looked back
My other brothers all went too far
Cemetery São Luis, here lies
But what a shit, my gun is up to the mouth
Yeah! What a crazy life! Why does it have to be like this?
Yesterday I dreamed that a guy approached me
"Now I want to see thief, bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!", end
Yeah, dream is dream, let it be
Sixth sense is a gift, I'm smart, dying is a factor
But as it is, it's in the pocket, in the needle and 5 more in the drum
(So go) So play the game, let's go
If the 8 falls, I kill the pair
I don't need much to feel capable
To find the magic formula of peace

I will search, I know I will find myself
I will search, I will search
You don't have faith, but I will go after
My magic formula of peace
I will search and I know I will find
I will search, I will search
You don't have faith, you don't have faith (I will go after the girl)

Fuck, what a heat, what time is it now?
You can hear the kids screaming outside
Today, I woke up early to see, feel the morning breeze and the sunrise
It's kite season, the sky is full, 15 years ago I was there in the middle
I remembered when I was little, me and the guys
(It's been a while)

It's been a while and time doesn't stop
Today the scheme to go out is cool
Yeah, let's go, don't delay, bro, come on
Did you see yesterday? The shots I saw, a lot
So, they say there's a lot of blood in the field

But hey, bro! Every hand is always the same idea together
Trouble, shots, blood, then, change the subject
Bring the tape for me to listen to, I'm out
Especially that one from Jorge Ben
A lot of guys in jail cry loneliness
A lot of guys out without disposition
Pawning around, radio, sneakers, pants
Light up in a pipe turned into smoke!
It's not for nothing, but hey, don't even call me
I enjoy my freedom much better
I don't care what others say
4, 5, 6, black in an Opala, can come cop, sucks
I'm on my own, cool, big time, without booze, without pacau, without powder
I'm alert, I have my rule, I'm not a mason
I don't smoke rock, a ride with the allies makes me happy
Mutual respect is the key, it's what I always wanted (tell me)
Look for yours, I'll go after mine,
See you later, the magic formula of peace

I'm going to search, I know I'm going to find myself
I'm going to search, I'm going to search
You don't have faith, but I'm going after
The magic formula of peace

I'm going to search, I know I'm going to find myself
I'm going to search, I'm going to search
You don't have faith, but I'm going after (I'm going to search, and I know I'm going to find myself)

Crying and running in the lobby of a hospital
Children's day, holiday and final mourning
Blood and agony enter through the corridor
Is he alive? For God's sake doctor

4 shots from the neck up, damn the chance is minimal
Out here, revolt and pain, inside a desperate state
I realized who I really am
When I heard my subconscious
And then Mano Brown, coward? Where are you?
Your brother is dying what are you going to do?
I can believe it, I felt useless, I felt small
Another vengeful asshole, just watch

Damn despair, I can't believe it
What a nightmare, I want to wake up
It doesn't, it didn't, it wouldn't in any way
Derley was just another ordinary guy,
In a few minutes another Dona Maria in mourning
On the wall the sign of the cross, what the hell is this?
What world is this? Where is Jesus?
Once again an emissary
Did not include Capão Redondo in his itinerary
Damn, I'm confused, I need to think
Give me some time to think
I no longer know who is wrong, I don't know
My ideology weakened
Black, white, police, thief or me
Who is more son of a bitch, I don't know
Then it's fucked (fucked), disappointment at these times
Depression wants to catch me, I'm going to get out
November 2nd was All Souls' Day, I stopped in front of São Luís on the other side
And for about half an hour I looked at each one and what all the ladies had in common
The humble clothes, the dark skin, the face beaten by the hard life
Placing flowers on the grave
It could be my mother, what madness
Each place a law, I'm aware
In the far south of the South Zone everything is wrong
Here your life is worth very little
Our law is flawed, violent and suicidal
It is said, that tells me that, it does not reveal itself
First paragraph in the law of the slum
Cool, scary is when you discover
That everything turned into nothing and that only the poor die
We live killing each other brother, why?
Don't look at me like that, I'm just like you
Rest your trigger, rest your trigger
And that on the train of humility, my rap is the track

I'm going to say

Search for your peace
For all the families out there who have lost important people, you know brother
Search for your peace
Don't get used to this violent daily life
Because this is not your life, this is not my life, you know, brother?
Hey Deley, rest in peace
Hey Carlinhos, search for your peace
Hey Kiko, 'you left longing, you know brother
I have a lot to thank for everything
(I thank God and the Orixás) (I'm going to search and I know I'm going to find myself)
I reached 27, I am a winner, you know, brother?
(I thank God and the Orixás)
Hey, search for yours, I'm going after my magic formula of peace
(You don't have faith)
Hey, send a message in the neighborhood there, Cohab Adventista and stuff, guys
Search for your peace (you don't have faith)
Here who speaks is the brother Brown, brother, I am old black
(I thank God, I thank God)
27 years contradicting the statistics, you know brother?
(I thank God, I thank God)
(Search for your peace) (I'm going to search and I know I'm going to find myself)
(I'm going to search) search for yours (and I'm going to find)
You can find your peace, your paradise
You can find your hell
(The magic formula of peace)
Or search for peace
