South
Dj M.O.B. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Não esqueço de onde eu vim

Escrevo sobre onde eu vim

Sei que aqui não tem lugar pra mim

Me acostumei sempre foi assim


Eu não sou o que esperam de mim

Sempre quiseram o dobro de mim

Sou contra o sistema porque o sistema

Sempre foi contra mim



Eu nasci blindada

Construí minhas parada

Uma preta invocada

Muito bem amada



Consciente de quase tudo

Sei que ainda não sei de tudo

E o meu ideal de mundo

É botar o mundo inteiro abaixo



Mas não falo alto porque os bico podem escutar

Faço meus planos em silêncio, quem não ajuda só vai atrapalhar

Faço meus planos em silêncio, quem não ajuda só vai atrapalhar




Vim de onde se tira, água de pedra

Três horas e meia, Até a capital

É raiva e sede, não é inveja

Desculpa eu juro que não faço por mal

Não não, não

Eu não faço por mal

Não não, não

Eu não faço por mal



Somos tipo Outkast, The organized noize

Eu sou do Sul do Sul, Sweet Home, Atlanta

And we make some noise



E eu quero ser ouvida

Elevo a minha voz, não

Não quero simpatia

Só quero que olhem pra nós



Eu sou da Terra do Castigo

Onde o frio nos corta a pele

Povo do Sol, viu escorrer da carne de sol

O sal que arde a pele



E o que eu fiz pra nascer aqui?

Não sei

O que me fazer daqui?

Acho que eu nem sou daqui, tenho muito pra descobrir



Vim de onde se tira, água de pedra

Três horas e meia, Até a capital

É raiva e sede, não é inveja

Desculpa eu juro que não faço por mal

Não não, não

Eu não faço por mal

Não não, não





Eu não faço por mal

DJ Spinz created the best 808 of all time, regardless of how overused it is... It'll always be the holy grail of Trap. And we're all thankful for that
