- Jason is a german rapper from Essen/Germany.

- hardcore from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

- Jason is a Heavy Metal band from Argentina.

The band JASON - formed in September ’97 in Rio de Janeiro - released their first CD "Odeia Eu" in 1998. D.I.Y. is very important for the band, so they released it on Tamborete Entertainment, the guitar-players label which also carries bands like ROT or GANGRENA GASOSA.
This record contains 18 songs of pure hardcore rock, influenced by great brazilian bands like Cólera, Replicantes, Garotos Podres, Inocentes, Ratos de Porão and DFC.

In January 2000 the band recorded 19 new songs for their second album, "Eu sou quase fã de mim mesmo" and one song for a compilation with 79 Brazilian bands with one-minute songs.
In 2001 the band made their first [of three] european tour, this happened from March 23th till June 12th in 12 european countries with 62 shows. The tour diary stories became a book, written by the guitar-player. In 2002 the band released the third cd "eu, tu, denis" with 18 songs on it. JASON are one of the most established hardcore-bands in brazil and loads of concerts through the whole country made them very important for the local punk/hardcore-scene.
In 2007 the band released their fourth album, called "regressão", that was readily acclaimed by the fans and press as one of the best albuns of the year.

JASON play very fast and hyper-energetic old school Hardcore, but in the the last two albuns they also put more progressive-rock elements in their music with beautiful melodies, hysterical screamo-parts and weird, rhythmical arrangements. All the lyrics are in portuguese language and they are “not really” positive. as you load their homepage you can already see what JASON are about: one after another the words „nasce“ [be born!], „sofre“ [suffer!], "morre" [die!] appear. that’s also a precise description of the life of a lot of brazilians. With the anger of JASON’s music this situation is transported just even more intense and authentic. On their split-LP with RADIKALKUR you can find the best songs from their first 3 albums which were released only in brazil + one unreleased bonus-track.

Sua Vida Por Um Real
Jason Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Senhores passageiros, desculpe incomodar
Podia estar roubando, mas eu vim pra trabalhar
Tenho um produto aqui na minha mão
Que é delicioso e vem direto do Japão

Repare muito bem a data de validade
E leve pras crianças, não importa a idade
Com vale transporte ou ""tique"" refeição

Também tô aceitando qualquer colaboração

Um é trinta, dois é cinquenta
Vem com puro recheio de menta
Podia ser um marginal
Mas tô aqui: cinco é um real!

Deus tá sentado lá em cima só olhando
Ele sabe muito bem quem tá me ajudando

Coça logo o bolso antes que eu fique bolado
E talvez assim ninguém saia machucado

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jason's song "Sua Vida Por Um Real" tell the story of a street vendor who approaches passengers on public transportation, apologizing for the intrusion and informing them that he could be stealing but has chosen to work instead. He then reveals a delicious product from Japan in his hand and encourages passengers to check the expiration date and buy it for their children, regardless of their age. The vendor says he accepts payment in the form of transportation passes or meal tickets and any other form of collaboration.

The vendor tells passengers that he is not a criminal, even though he could have chosen that path, and offers his product for an affordable price of one real. He attributes his success and safety to the help of someone watching over him from above, and reminds passengers to give generously to avoid any conflict.

The song reflects the struggles of street vendors in Brazil, who often face poverty due to a lack of job opportunities and social protections. The lyrics also capture a sense of hope and determination that is common among these vendors, who choose to work hard and honestly despite the challenges they face.
