Meu Corre
MC Caverinha Lyrics

Lembro que ninguém dava nada no meu corre
I remember when nobody had any faith in me and my hustle.

Hoje todo mundo se envolve, isso é tão difícil pra mim (yeah-yeah)
Now that everyone is interested in what I'm doing, it's hard for me to handle it.

Mas prometi pra minha mãe que nunca ia pegar no revólver
I made a promise to my mom that I would never resort to violence even when I was hungry.

Mesmo quando eu senti fome
Even when I was hungry and struggling to make ends meet.

Porque lá de onde eu vim, yeah
Because of where I came from, where violence and poverty were rampant.

Eu vi vários morrendo nessa vida louca
I saw many people dying in this crazy life.

Vários menor que já trampou na boca
Many young people who had worked in drug trafficking.

Eu muito novo fazendo meu corre
I was very young when I started hustling.

Pra dar uma ajuda pra minha coroa
To help my mom out and support my family.

Que alimentava umas oito boca
She had to feed eight people.

Mesmo quando a comida era pouca
Even when there wasn't enough food to go around.

Mesmo quando era um barraquinho
Even when we were living in a small shack.

Que faltava água pra lavar uma roupa
Where we didn't even have enough water to do laundry.

Mãe, é que a conta de casa a gente quitou, mãe, yah, yeah
Mom, we've paid the bills, mom.

Merecedora demais
She deserves everything.

Faltou luz, faltou dinheiro, mas nunca faltou fé
We may have had no electricity or money, but we always had faith.

Bênção minha mãe e meu pai (amém!)
Blessings to my mom and dad.

Eu vi poça de sangue no chão
I saw blood pooling on the ground.

No oceano de distância dos adversário
Far away from my adversaries.

Que não viveu metade do que nós viveu
They haven't experienced even half of what we have.

E 'tá querendo um triplo do salário
And they're asking for triple the salary.

No zoológico de notas, os menor vira bicho
In this world of money, young people turn into animals.

Pro jacaré, rinoceronte é um efeito manada
For the alligator, the rhinoceros is just part of the herd.

Amiga, aqui o filho chora e a mãe até vê
My friend, here the child cries and the mother can't do anything about it.

O problema é que ela não pode fazer nada
The problem is that she can't do anything to help.

Pensando bem, o mundão girou, Nicole
Thinking about it, the world has turned upside-down, Nicole.

Ontem negamos um contrato de cem mil
Yesterday we turned down a contract worth 100 thousand.

'Cês são as marcas mais vendida do mercado?
You guys are the top-selling brands in the market?

Prazer, eu sou o preto mais embaçado do Brasil
Nice to meet you, I'm the most complicated black guy in Brazil.

Caverinha, eles queriam sua caveira memo
Caverinha, they wanted to take you down.

Mas o que viram foi você encher a carteira, menor
But what they saw was you filling your pockets, young man.

Pra sua coroa, sorriso, conforto e nada menos
For your mom, a smile, comfort, and nothing less.

Vou desenhar, porra, pra ver se eles entende melhor
I'm going to draw it out to see if they understand better.

Oito boca com 800 contos ou menos
Eight people to feed with 800 reais or less.

Olha os números e quem diria?
Look at the numbers, who would have thought?

Paulo Guedes tem doutorado e pá
Paulo Guedes has a PhD and all that.

E é a mãe preta analfabeta é que entende de economia
And it's my illiterate black mom who understands economics.

Fizemos virar real o que era utopia
We made our dreams become reality.

Quer dizer, fizemos virar dólares
I mean, we turned it into dollars.

Fazer melhor? Duvido muito
Do better? I highly doubt it.

Então sua opção conviver com isso
So your only option is to live with it.
