A Lenda
Sangue Da Cidade Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estamos juntos outra vez, prá lutar do mesmo lado
a raça e a gana já nos fez vencer.
Os tempos já são outros e o tempo agora é pouco,
mas tudo que queremos é sobreviver.

A vida é um hard game.
Só que sem ter um reset/play.
A gente se tornou a lenda que criou.

As lendas que ficaram, não dizem mais nada,
a não ser pros nossos corações.
Criar um mundo novo e começar de novo,
a gente vive e morre sendo um aprendiz.

A vida é um hard game.

Só que sem ter um reset/play.
A gente se tornou a lenda que ficou
