Well, about my common sense
I have made this album in interest of Humanity.
these songs appear from nothing to something.Inspired
from my dayly living, in this suffering time, we ´re living.
according to friends, living in foreign Land like me, some other
people, social matters and unconventional situations carry me to a
such
emotion. .... sometimes.
well I am a singer sence my sweet 14, I was always as a front Man
singer.
High light of the shows, as a Reggae singer.
I always have my musicianship comunity by my side sence my 14 years
old.
todays, is over 20 years
I sarted my singing activities in Cape Verd Island where Im coming
from,
Crossing Europe, Lisbon, Spain, France, Germany and some others Citys
Local in Europe.
About the songs: I wrote the songs, and along the way the songs started
to develop from it selves, performing live shows with bands as
usual.
On the other hand, iam not singing about happiness, and I think that my
next album is going to be much more depper emotional, because I dont
feel
no, and I dont see no changing in the system.
Iam traying to overcome my dayly worries, and I hope that this album
helps
you, when you ´re in hard situation. no matter,Race, Color, Origin,
Religian
or any other matter which disturb you.
Make this World a better place to live
I beg you please.

In Ras Paulo's song "Persona Non Grata," the lyrics express the experience of feeling excluded or rejected by society. The song begins by acknowledging that the singer lives in the world, yet is treated as if they are a "Persona non Grata." This term, borrowed from Latin, refers to someone who is not welcome or accepted in a specific place or community.
Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes their independence and ability to live their life on their own terms. They refuse to pay attention to how others perceive them or what they say about them. This self-reliance and determination to live authentically are sources of strength for the singer.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of treating one another with respect, dignity, and love. The singer believes that these qualities should be given to everyone, regardless of their social standing or status as a "Persona non Grata." They assert that their rights, pride, and freedom are worth far more than material success or wealth.
As the song progresses, the singer mentions being in different countries and cities, implying that the feeling of being seen as a "Persona non Grata" is not limited to any specific place. They describe feeling this way when walking on the streets, suggesting that they face discrimination or alienation in their daily interactions.
In conclusion, "Persona Non Grata" is a song that sheds light on the experience of being treated as an outcast or excluded from society. It conveys a message of self-empowerment, advocating for respect and dignity for all individuals, regardless of their perceived social status. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a strong sense of defiance and determination to live life on one's own terms, free from the judgments of others.
