(É, yeh, yeh- ah- ah- au)
Voando alto, com os irmão, atura não, conspiração, ela me fala, “chapei” no som, universo dela, inspiração.
Eu to fazendo, acontecer, passo a passo, prevalecer, expandindo o som, a consciência, são varias vozes, na cabeça.
Falando seis chega lá, basta não desistir, amplie a visão, mantenha a fé em sí. Eu to em casa com a Catarina, os moleque é brabo, voa a alto estima, lutando é fato mas to por cima, com os verdadeiro quebro a mentira.

A need hey, money. (Ya- ah- ah, au)
A need hey, money. (Ya- ah- ah- au)

My mommy, Oh Mamá, eu vou é sumir, só pra uns tempo pra me encontrar e evoluir, tu sabe que tua mente tem poder pra tu crescer pra destruir, ih, ih.
Precisamos de dim então chamei o Placo, o palco é pouco, o Shock é louco, elemento fogo é brabo. True disse pra mim que precisa de dim pra família, faremos o que ninguém mais quis. Méritos após méritos, sufoco na trincheira, acerto o pão e a riqueza com o cão do microfone. Cê vê o game, cê zera o game, sempre em busca da melhoria seguindo em frente.

A need hey, money. (Ya- ah- ah, au)
A need hey, money. (Ya- ah- ah- au)
A need hey, money. (Ya- ah- ah- au)

E foi no brilho desse seu olhar que eu viajei pra longe, foram as ondas desse mar, me levaram distante, me levaram distante.
Diaba, deusa de salto, fumando um bec na raw, apreciando vistas do alto, nosso rolê sempre animal. Falaram pra não desistir, mas claro que não vou, nóis tá nessa ate o fim, ja que nóis começou. Eu quero viver, mais do que quero dinheiro, tudo questão de chegar e não de ser o primeiro. Fé aquela que me guia oh Pai, só peço proteção, nada mais, nada mais, nada mais…

A need hey, money. (Ya- ah- ah- au)
A need hey, money…

I'm making it happen, step by step, overcoming and expanding music and consciousness. Many voices in my head.

Telling you it's possible to make it if you don't give up, open your mind and keep faith in yourself. I'm at home with Catarina and the boys, they're fierce and confident. Fighting is a must but with the true ones, we break lies and prevail.

My mommy, Oh Mamá, eu vou é sumir, só pra uns tempo pra me encontrar e evoluir, tu sabe que tua mente tem poder pra tu crescer pra destruir, ih, ih.
Dear mommy, I'm going away for a while to find myself and evolve. You know your mind has the power to make you grow or destroy yourself.

Precisamos de dim então chamei o Placo, o palco é pouco, o Shock é louco, elemento fogo é brabo. True disse pra mim que precisa de dim pra família, faremos o que ninguém mais quis.
We need money so I called Placo, shock is crazy, fire element is fierce. True told me we need money for the family, we'll do what no one else dared to do.

Achieving merit after merit, struggling in the trenches, making bread and riches with the microphone. You see the game, you win the game, always improving and moving forward.

E foi no brilho desse seu olhar que eu viajei pra longe, foram as ondas desse mar, me levaram distante, me levaram distante.
It was in the sparkle of her eyes that I travelled far away, the waves of this sea took me far, took me far away.

Diaba, deusa de salto, fumando um bec na raw, apreciando vistas do alto, nosso rolê sempre animal.
She's a devil, a goddess in high heels, smoking a joint, enjoying the view from above, our ride is always wild.

Falaram pra não desistir, mas claro que não vou, nóis tá nessa ate o fim, ja que nóis começou. Eu quero viver, mais do que quero dinheiro, tudo questão de chegar e não de ser o primeiro. Fé aquela que me guia oh Pai, só peço proteção, nada mais, nada mais, nada mais…
They told me not to give up, but obviously I won't, we'll be in this until the end, since we started it. I want to live, more than I want money, it's all about getting there, not about being first. Faith is what guides me, oh Father, I ask for protection, nothing more, nothing more, nothing more...

A need hey, money.
A need for money.

A need hey, money…
A need for money.
