[English]

Let me align the chakras, analyze what's going on

Can't forget the money when we came from nothing

I'm going to leave my mark, fill my home with pride

Let me align the chakras, analyze what's going on

Can't forget the money when we came from nothing

I'm going to leave my mark, fill my home with pride

I really hit my head until I had an epiphany

These melodies can change my life

I'm working to achieve all my dreams

Yeah, I dedicated myself seriously, and today we're far away

They delayed me, doubted me, but I did it

They want results, but they don't run, they pretend

You haven't changed, you still haven't caught the vision

You're blind for the clout, I just want to know about the business

My people just wanted to rise in life

So many problems and on top of that, there's no money

Bro, few know what it's like to be at home and have no light

Look in the pantry and have nothing to fill your belly

It's time to get the elders ballin', apply the knowledge

Find ways out while I'm still young

I fight for life because here we don't play around

Let me align the chakras, analyze what's going on

Can't forget the money when we came from nothing

I'm going to leave my mark, fill my home with pride

Let me align the chakras, analyze what's going on

Can't forget the money when we came from nothing

I'm going to leave my mark, fill my home with pride

If it's not for you, it's not for me

I need to align my chakras

I leave my mark, make money at home

I have someone to love

If it's not for you, it's not for me

I need to align my chakras

I leave my mark, make money at home

I have someone to love, and if it's not for you

If it rains a lot, I don't need to talk to the guard

I'm not ready for the week, just win, win

My mind, already can't relax, life is calm

I can make my mom proud

The world keeps turning, nothing changes except what's on the wheel

The kid doesn't know for sure if he's a husband or a lover

Just let me align my chakras, I don't have time

Much less to waste on you

Let me align the chakras, analyze what's going on

Can't forget the money when we came from nothing

I'm going to leave my mark, fill my home with pride

Let me align the chakras, analyze what's going on

Can't forget the money when we came from nothing

I'm going to leave my mark, fill my home with pride

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

My chakra now is you

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

My chakra now is you

If it's not for you, it's not for me

I need to align my chakras

I leave my mark, make money at home

I have someone to love

If it's not for you, it's not for me

I need to align my chakras

I leave my mark, make money at home

I have someone to love

My chakra now is you

My chakra now is you

[Portuguese]

Deixa-me alinhar os chakras, analisar o que se passa

Não dá p'ra esquecer a guita quando viemos do nada

Vou deixar a minha marca, encher de orgulho a minha casa

Deixa-me alinhar os chakras, analisar o que se passa

Não dá p'ra esquecer a guita quando viemos do nada

Vou deixar a minha marca, encher de orgulho a minha casa

Bati mesmo buéda crânio até ter uma epifania

Essas melodias podem mudar a minha vida

'Tou a trabalhar p'ra realizar todos os sonhos

Xé, dediquei-me a sério, e hoje estamos longe

Já me atrasaram, duvidaram, but I did it

Querem resultados, mas não correm, еles fingem

Vocês não mudaram, ainda não pegaram a vision

Andam cеgos pelo clout, eu quero é saber do business

A minha gente só queria subir na vida

Tantos problemas e ainda por cima não há guita

Bro, poucos sabem o que que é 'tar em casa e não ter luz

Ver a despensa e não ter nada p'ra te encher o bucho

'Tá na altura de meter os cotas ballin', aplicar o knowledge

Encontrar saídas enquanto ainda sou jovem

Batalho pela vida porque aqui já não se brinca

Deixa-me alinhar os chakras, analisar o que se passa

Não dá p'ra esquecer a guita quando viemos do nada

Vou deixar a minha marca, encher de orgulho a minha casa

Deixa-me alinhar os chakras, analisar o que se passa

Não dá p'ra esquecer a guita quando viemos do nada

Vou deixar a minha marca, encher de orgulho a minha casa

Si flado pan para, n'ka ta para

N'tem ki alinha nha chakras

Deixo a minha marca, faço grana em casa

Tenho quem amar

Si flado pan para, n'ka ta para

N'tem ki alinha nha chakras

Deixo a minha marca, faço grana em casa

Tenho quem amar, e si flado pan para

Panpana larga txeu água, n'ka mesti fala pan guarda

N'ta combina pá semana, só gana di camba gana

Nha menti, dja ka relaxa tranquilo, vida djan calma

Pan podi orgulha nha mama

Mundo ta roda, nada ka muda além li na volante

Pikena ka sabi ao certo si e marido ou e amanti

Dexan alinha só nha chakras, n'ka tem tempo

Muito menos pa gasta ku bo

Deixa-me alinhar os chakras, analisar o que se passa

Não dá p'ra esquecer a guita quando viemos do nada

Vou deixar a minha marca, encher de orgulho a minha casa

Deixa-me alinhar os chakras, analisar o que se passa

Não dá p'ra esquecer a guita quando viemos do nada

Vou deixar a minha marca, encher de orgulho a minha casa

Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu

O meu chakra agora és tu

Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu

O meu chakra agora és tu

Si flado pan para, n'ka ta para

N'tem ki alinha nha chakras

Deixo a minha marca, faço grana e em casa

Tenho quem amar

Si flado pan para, n'ka ta para

N'tem ki alinha nha chakras

Deixo a minha marca, faço grana e em casa

  ➔ 'vou' indicates the speaker's intention to do something in the future; 'deixar' is the verb 'to leave' or 'to make/leave a mark'.

• Tantos problemas e ainda por cima não há guita

  ➔ Use of 'e' (and) to connect clauses, illustrating addition; 'não há' (there is no) from 'haver' for existence negation.

  ➔ 'e' means 'and', connecting two ideas; 'não há' means 'there is no', used for negation of existence.

• Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu

  ➔ Use of repetition for emphasis or emotional expression, often characteristic in lyrical and poetic language.

  ➔ Repetition of 'tu' emphasizes the importance or focus on 'you', contributing to emotional intensity.

• O meu chakra agora és tu

  ➔ Use of 'agora' (now) for temporal context, and 'és' as the present tense of 'ser' (to be) for emphasis on the current state.

  ➔ 'agora' indicates the present moment; 'és' (you are) emphasizes that the 'chakra' now belongs to 'you'.
