Original text with translation
Mv Bill, Chuck D
Sou da terra de ninguém
Onde quem tem manda em quem não tem
Meu país é rico, só divide mal sua riqueza
Muitos com pouco, poucos com muito
E tratam com frieza quem é de origem favelada
Vida abalada, dura caminhada
Nosso país com dimensões continentais
Quem não tem quer ter, quem tem, quer ter mais
Deixa tudo desigual
Gente analfabeta no cenário atual
Não pode ser normal ver
Muita adolescente sendo mãe fora de hora
Marca sua vida com o pai que vai embora
É comum do lado de cá a escola abandonada
Por quem tem que trabalhar
Desiguala, a minoria rica não se abala
Vive trancada, escondida num condomínio
Assistindo da aérea VIP um extermínio
De um povo que luta sem as armas adequadas
Várias vidas foram dizimadas, histórias apagadas
Relações de conflitos foram geradas
Quem é preto como eu
Fica indignado quando vê o boy
Tomando o espaço que é seu
Quem não se indigna
Não vai fugir da cerca
E vai seguir permitindo
A mão que assassina
Transformação quando visto meu manto
Hora do combate
Então enxugue o seu pranto
Vivo o que canto
Meu orgulho talvez cause espanto
Balanço e levanto
Por isso eu to de pé
Reto e direto pra quebrar o encanto
Em cada canto
Depende da sua fé
É nós que ta, pra mudar por enquanto
Só no adianto
(Rock on my brother!)
O tempo não para
Tem gente que apanha e não toma vergonha na cara
Ficaram parados no tempo
Envaidecidos dividiram o movimento
Veja só o rap virou o partido da cara feia
Tão mais preocupados em cuidar da vida alheia
Com grandes bonés, pequenas idéias
Falso reinado, coroa de rei, castelo de areia
O discurso envelheceu
Até a favela no meio da miséria cresceu
Tem vídeo game de última geração
Tênis bom, na velocidade que ta no momento
Não da pra manipular com esse tipo de pensamento
Que vem de dentro da favela ao centro
Existe um lamento embutido no sentimento
Que não deixa calar a Voz que ta no ar
A chama combativa não pode se apagar
Há muita coisa a ser mudada
Não quero fazer parte do bonde
Dos que só falam e não fazem nada
Sem se mover, cada um no seu lugar
Perderam a capacidade de se indignar
Só tem força quando é nós contra nós
Na frente do opressor baixa cabeça e perde a voz
O mesmo opressor é aquele que faz as leis
Desfavorece nós pra não chegar a nossa vez
Sem timidez, não me canso
Enquanto não tiver avanço
Com poucos aliados, pois nosso povo é manso
Só vira bicho quando o assunto é futebol
Nudez no carnaval, latinha de Skol
É tipo cirurgia sem anestesia
Bebendo do veneno entorpecente todo dia
Seguindo a cartilha que aprisiona a mente
Parece que essa gente está doente
Middle passage mixes with the massive
I write the wrong in the right, I never passive
I’m strong through my people in the black diaspora
Disrespect still we going after
So I be like Zumbi
We tryin' to leave with all the people, yes
And be positive, connecting all this rack
Giving hope within the wreckage
Get the land back, people back
Most of all the money back
Chuck D and MV Bill
Hollering to people in the city of God by here in Brazil
Fight the power, be the power
Power to the people, yes!
And real hip-hop
MV Bill, Chuck D, Public Enemy
For my man, my brother
For my brothers and sisters in Brazil
Bahia, Rio, São Paulo, all the area of Brazil
We with you, you are 85 million strong
Don’t you ever forget
We are with you, we are your brothers and sisters
C’mon rock the house…
I'm from nobody's land
Where those who have rules over those who don't
My country is rich, it only divides its wealth badly
Many with little, few with a lot
And they treat those who are from a favela from a slum
Shaken life, hard walk
Our country with continental dimensions
Who doesn't want to have, who has, wants to have more
leave everything uneven
Illiterate people in the current scenario
It can't be normal to see
A lot of teenagers being a mother out of turn
Mark your life with the father who leaves
It is common on this side of the abandoned school
who do you have to work for
Unequal, the rich minority is not shaken
She lives locked up, hidden in a condominium
Watching from the VIP air an extermination
From a people who fight without adequate weapons
Several lives were decimated, stories erased
Conflict relationships were generated
who is black like me
Gets indignant when he sees the boy
Taking the space that is yours
Who is not outraged
It won't run away from the fence
And will continue allowing
the hand that kills
Transformation when I wear my cloak
Combat time
So dry your tears
I live what I sing
My pride may cause astonishment
Balance and rise
That's why I'm standing
Straight and straight to break the charm
In each corner
Depends on your faith
It's us who are, to change for now
only in advance
(Rock on my brother!)
Time does not stop
There are people who are beaten and are not ashamed of their face
They stood still in time
Conceited people shared the movement
Look at the rap turned into the ugly face party
So much more concerned with taking care of other people's lives
With big caps, small ideas
False reign, king's crown, sand castle
The discourse has aged
Even the favela in the middle of poverty grew
It has state-of-the-art video games
Good shoes, at the speed you are at the moment
You can't handle with that kind of thinking
That comes from within the favela in the center
There is a lament built into the feeling
That does not let the Voice that is in the air
The combative flame cannot be extinguished
There's a lot to be changed
I don't want to be part of the tram
Of those who only talk and do nothing
Without moving, each one in their place
They lost the ability to be outraged
It only has strength when it's us against us
In front of the oppressor, he lowers his head and loses his voice
The same oppressor is the one who makes the laws
It disadvantages us not to get to our turn
No shyness, I don't get tired
As long as you don't have progress
With few allies, for our people are meek
It only becomes an animal when the subject is football
Nudity at carnival, can of Skol
It's like surgery without anesthesia.
Drinking the numbing poison every day
Following the booklet that imprisons the mind
It looks like these people are sick
Middle passage mixes with the massive
I write the wrong in the right, I never passive
I'm strong through my people in the black diaspora
Disrespect still we going after
So I be like Zombie
We tryin' to leave with all the people, yes
And be positive, connecting all this rack
Giving hope within the wreckage
Get the land back, people back
Most of all the money back
