Mike V. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoje eu vou de jaguar do ano
Chinelo e bermuda nao vim pra ostentar
E eles ainda tao se perguntando
Por que a simplicidade é minha riqueza
Botar todos os mlk na minha panamera
Sai pela quebrada que hoje é dominguera
E se Deus abriu minhas portas ela nos nunca fecha
E se ela fechar eu passo a chave pela fresta
Banho de cacha d’gua virou de piscina
Muito mais evoluido que o tempo da antiga
E o biriri tocando desde sexta feira
É varias ouriçada querendo uma beira
Mas eu to bonitao, hoje eu to mo chavao
E o que aqui nos foi dado bico nunca pega
Hoje é robozao. O que era barra forte
E o destino ao forte sua luta nao entrega

Ze polvinho abre a boca com ideia torta
Shhh
Ta bicudo que nos chamou atenção
Palavra de quem me odeia hoje nao me importa
Manda o mal eu transformo em evolução
Tomando jack cowboy pra ver se queima o odio
Na tv tem mais um jack rico tendo pódio
Quer ta se ontem nao tava mano isso que fode
Depois ceis se pergunta pq bruxo se morde

Tum tum
Faz quando ela bate o bumbum
Barulho da tiger na quebrada e zoom zoom
E eu so querendo viajar, ela a beira mar, ce pedindo pra eu passar
O beck pra fumar um

Porque eu cresci na favela




Nos bescos e vielas
Entendo o rzk

Quebrando os lagarto que fala nao pode
A favela sorrindo o bico se morde
Muitos dizem forte abraço mas poucos sao fortes
Vai contando com a sorte, nao corre e se fode
Ze polvinho jornalista como william bonner
Bolado que eu to com a fatima andando de hummer
Rendendo bem mais noticia que lazaro morto
Mike é artista brabo como lazaro ramos

Ze polvinho abre a boca com ideia torta
Shhh
Ta bicudo que nos chamou atenção
Palavra de quem me odeia hoje nao me importa
Ce manda o mal eu transformo em evolução

Tum tum
Faz quando ela bate o bumbum
Barulho da tiger na quebrada e zoom zoom
E eu so querendo viajar, ela a beira mar, ce pedindo pra eu passar
O beck pra fumar um
