[Translation of "That's My Way", by Edi Rock featuring Leon Mobley & Seu Jorge]
[Verse 1: Edi Rock]
For the floor, for the love, for the blood, for the color
Fidelity, loyalty in the name of the Lord
To my loved one, to my family, to the nine of June
That showed me the importance of me being in this
We shoot in the dark, don't hear anyone
It's no use the sermon and the storm that arrives
I don't know if there's anything to do with destiny
But the problems are B.O., since I was little
Rap is my anthem, was already written, n***a
A little guy from Bahia, that walks close to thе end
Yes! Our school is always expеnsive
Time is king, that I know, the clock doesn't stop
Man, wounds heal, but the soul has no cure
In your arrogance or in your pure humility
Hold yourself, what I offer you is too good
It's power and strength, talent through the sound
I say: "Each step we learn how to suffer"
Live, die, smile and cry
Cry for the past, pay for the sins
Counting each shadow in your tormented dream
Chained, I don't know, drugged, maybe
Weak, injusticed, drowning in the sea
I'm there, side to side, with faith in my heart
Even if for that I wake up sleeping on the floor, brother
[Chorus: Seu Jorge]
That's my way, and I go,
This is my way, on it, I go
I like to think that the light of the Sun
Will lighten my dawn
But if, in the morning, the Sun doesn't appear
From behind the gray clouds, everything will change
The cloud will go away and the sky will clean
The light of a new day will ever be
[Bridge x2: Seu Jorge]
To brighten you, to brighten you
To protect, to inspire
And to feed you
[Verso 2: Edi Rock]
Revolution comes close, get ready
Take your guns, march, apache and never stop
Face the war, head up, even being bad
We are soldiers and survivors, always, to the end
Look at me and see how much I have walked
Got old, here I am, never abandoned
I don't wanna be a king, I don't wanna be a nothing
I just want my money and my faith
Dance, with me, in faith, thug
The ghetto always have, at the front, the enemy
The cops are racist, more than anyone
Slums between Heaven, Hell, Jerusalem
Mourns, holds, faces the battle
Violence is the life at the razor's edge
The global failure, spiritual, a rifle
It's a Shakespeare text, boy
You have already seen blood, too much poverty
What's the real value to find peace?
Is it to run away? Is it to hide?
Or is it to fight, work, and then die?
That's it, see you, several elites
In disposition, situation and appetite
Believe that you can get to the end of the raimbow
And find a pot of gold
[Chorus: Seu Jorge]
That's my way, and I go,
This is my way, on it, I go
I like to think that the light of the Sun
Will lighten my dawn
But if, in the morning, the Sun doesn't appear
From behind the gray clouds, everything will change
The cloud will go away and the sky will clean
The light of a new day will ever be
[Bridge x4: Seu Jorge]
To brighten you, to brighten you
To protect, to inspire
And to feed you
