Genius English Translations
Black Alien - Caminhos do Destino (English Translation)
[Produced by Alexandre Basa]

[Intro]
Nineteen hundred, two thousand and four
Babylon by Gus, Volume 1: The Year of the Monkey
Mista Black!

[Chorus]
If you cheat on me and then pretend to be my friend (yo, yo)
I chase you, I instigate and investigate (yo, yo)
If you think about pulling a fast one on me
And don't know what danger looks like (yo, yo)
Sooner or later, it won't be me
The one who'll settle the score with you

[Verse 1]
I rhyme
In Niterói, smoking in the darkness
Just like that one song by Celso
Blues Boy, in the tune, so
I pay tribute to people I admire:
Chico Buarque, Van Gogh, Robert De Niro
Francisco França, Mauro Mateus
Nobles and commoners who went to meet God
I'm talkin' about them
Stupid accident or bullets
Took my friends from me, I'm inspired by them
Sudden disenchantment
Destiny's ways, divine's ways
Listen to the report, n***a
I don't burn the house down to get rid of the rat
Neither of any bastard anymore
Type of people that get closer
Because of the beats and the rhymes
Cups up, hands up
Girls and boys
It's a minor injury to the firm, I guarantee
The devil's face in immediate contact
With my shoe's sole when I rhyme
[Chorus]
If you cheat on me and then pretend to be my friend (yo, yo)
I chase you, I instigate and investigate (yo, yo)
If you think about pulling a fast one on me
And don't know what danger looks like (yo, yo)
Sooner or later, it won't be me
The one who'll settle the score with you

[Verse 2]
Tireless storyteller, happy Brazilian
No better, no worse, just different
The serpent's eyes
Protect me, because they see ahead
Respect preserves your teeth
Hidden enemy camouflaged in turmoil
Or someone who calls you brother, an insult
Agonize in the midst of the confusion
That they protagonize and doesn't
Demoralize the prediction
Chain reaction, product of the middle
Came to show for what it came for, shit got ugly
These times role model, without no futile reason
I enjoy my time here usefully
I connect my antennas, not only
To disconnect from pitiful spirits
The parasite that moves on the scene
Lower Gávea, Savassi, Vila Madalena
Photogenic on my toilet paper
Discharge down the drain with your scenic game, scenic game
[Chorus]
If you cheat on me and then pretend to be my friend (yo, yo)
I chase you, I instigate and investigate (yo, yo)
If you think about pulling a fast one on me
And don't know what danger looks like (yo, yo)
Sooner or later, it won't be me
The one who'll settle the score with you

[Outro]
If you cheat on me, homie, and then pretend to be my friend
I chase you, huh? I instigate and investigate, huh?
If you think about pulling a fast one on me
And don't know what danger looks like, bruh
Sooner or later, it won't be me
The one who'll settle the score with you, you heard?
I'm out, ha-ha-ha
