I just left the judge

My bro, the wait was tough

Good news for me and my shooter bro

The transfer came through, bro, hallelujah

Far from the devil

That’s where God takes us, bro

I was already allergic to the courthouse

I swear, bro, the wait was tough

The blessing spoke loud, hallelujah

Far from the devil

That’s where God takes us, bro

Even if the road gets rough, we don’t back down

Whether you like it or not, that’s just how we do, bro

The blessing spoke loud, hallelujah

Far from the devil, that’s where God takes us, bro

Call a lawyer, ‘cause the state won’t let us go, bro

From the start of the journey, God paved the way, bro

Every dawn is a plank to build a board

Improving the view from the balcony pleases us

So every move to a new house

Is a kuduro beat at the entrance

Picanha on the grill, listening to the lambs

A toast for me and my crew

And a cheers in honor of my bro Chaba

May God give us health

The rest, we’ll get it, let’s burn the city

Heat up the mouth like piri-piri

Tell ‘em to fuck off like ngombidi

None of you know how I did it

I’ll fuck any nigga, but not Diddy

It hurts you to admit it, and I get it

But you’re part of the generation I built

I did it, you’re tenants in my building

Always fighting against the odds

The stakes were sky-high

And the consequence of being what we preach

Is the judge’s gavel

Years spent deciphering the code—to make what we can legitimate

Walking toward the status of rap god—in a few years, they’ll pay me tribute

It’s my royalty in this game

For the years I went into debt with the state

Just to invest in the streets

That’s what I did, almost slipped by a hair

But since God watches over us

I just left the judge—bro, the wait was tough

Good news for me and my shooter bro

The transfer came through, bro, hallelujah

Far from the devil—that’s where God takes us, bro

I was already allergic to the courthouse

I swear, bro, the wait was tough

The blessing spoke loud, hallelujah

Far from the devil—that’s where God takes us, bro

♫

I just left the judge—bro, the wait was tough

Good news for me and my shooter bro

The transfer came through, bro, hallelujah

Far from the devil, that’s where God takes us, bro

I was already allergic to the courthouse

I swear, bro, the wait was tough

The blessing spoke loud, hallelujah

Far from the devil

That’s where God takes us, bro
