Fuck it

Eight five

Money in my pocket, I don’t stop.

The goal is to help the family

and change the life of those who have nothing.

Huh!

Eight five

Mii ku rapah

I know the cops have been watching,

but I’m always careful doubling up.

Eight five

Money in my pocket, I don’t stop.

The goal is to help the family

and change the life of those who have nothing.

Huh!

Mii ku rapah

I know the cops have been watching,

but I’m always careful doubling up.

Ça va bien, hey.. what’s going on?

Cops, buddy, this is that deadlock.

Will you go or stay, okay.. you stayed,

but if you don’t run, you end up demi-glace.

(It’s tough) She wants a free pass,

I don’t want to see her, yo.. not even if she showed up.

Dirty lady wanted me to clean her up.

I don’t have time, I’m busy.

Olé, productivity on the move.

Spending your life on the corner rolling that fine,

all it gave you was a cap.

It’s tough but true, yeah that’s right.

Herd like sheep, lame.

My dad worked his whole life

only to end up earning less than a lame guy.

That’s why in the streets I make my money,

quick in Algarve, Porto, and Lisbon.

Need made it poetry,

running for passion and love for the game.

Even if it’s not cold, you wear a shirt,

they laugh in your face, doubts?

The state is screwing you so hard and you don’t even notice,

that one of these days, you’ll get someone pregnant.

They’re listening, a guy just knows,

avoid talking, I’ll handle the rest.

They ask for kilos, here it’s just base.

Invest and double, that’s the move.

No credit, no lies, I don’t do that.

When it comes to money, no delays.

Bullshit talk, your boy,

okay.. then I’m out.

Avoid talking, the plan is money.

Phone off, pass by and shout.

Call on Insta and hang up,

just don’t take my swag away.

Because that shit kills my vibe.

People don’t know what to do with their lives.

Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.

Straight talk, this isn’t your fate.

I was stuck in the hood,

with pride, but no contacts.

Nowadays, I’m at home,

relaxed, moving kilos.

It’s facts, many around are dummies.

Avoid contact, it’s a fact.

Cops want to make a deal.

I don’t give in, I just leave.

Eight five

Money in my pocket, I don’t stop.

and change the life of those who have nothing.

Fans and all that crap.

Go ahead and make the car insurance, please.

Here, we got the

I f*ck you in the ass.

You understand?

Four mouths here for the exhaust, so, bro.

Fuck.

The symbol. Never touched.

Ihh, I’m gonna give a kiss. Ah!

Foda-se

Oito cinco

Guita no bolso, eu não paro.

Objetivo é ajudar a família

e mudar a vida de quem não tem nada.

Hã!

Oito cinco

Mii ku rapah

Eu sei que a bófia tem andado atenta,

mas eu 'tou sempre atento a dobrar.

Oito cinco

Guita no bolso, eu não paro.

Objetivo é ajudar a família

Hã!

Oito cinco

Mii ku rapah

Eu sei que a bófia tem andado atenta,

mas eu 'tou sempre atento a dobrar.

Ça va bien, hey.. qu’est-ce qui se passe?

Bófia parci, é aquele impasse.

Vais ou ficas, ok.. ficaste,

mas se não corres viras demi-glace.

(É txebra) Ela quer free pass,

não quero vê-la, yo.. nem que pintasse.

Dama suja queria que eu limpasse.

Nka teni tempo, nsta na gaz.

Olé, produtividade no rolê.

Ficar a vida na esquina a puxar da fina,

só te deu um boné.

É foda mas real, ah pois é.

Rebanho tipo ovelha choné.

O meu pai descontou a vida inteira

pa' agora receber menos que um monhé.

Por isso na street n'ta fazi nha guita,

xpidi no algarve, no porto e na lisa.

Necessidade, fiz dela poesia,

a correr por gosto e amor à camisa.

Mesmo sem frio, tu usa camisa,

na tua cara, eles gozam, duvidas?

Estado 'tá-te a f*der tanto e nem notas,

que um dia destes, tu ainda engravidas.

Eles 'tão na escuta, um gajo já sabe,

evita papo, o resto eu safo.

Eles pedem quilos, aqui é só base.

Investe e dobra, esse é o passo.

Fiados e tangas, isso eu não faço.

No que toca a guita, não há atrasos.

Conversa de merda a tua boy,

ok.. então eu bazo.

Evita conversa, o plano é guita.

Tele desligado, passa na porta e grita.

Liga no insta e desliga,

só não me tires a pinta.

Porque essa merda tira-me a pica.

People não sabe o que faz da vida.

Não preocupa, um gajo te ensina.

Papo reto, esta não é a tua sina.

Eu tava na zona pregado,

com moral, mas sem contactos.

Hoje em dia eu 'tou em casa,

relaxado a disparar quilos.

São factos, muitos ao lado são patos.

Evita contacto, é um facto.

Fardado quer fazer pacto.

Não cedo, só bazo.

Key Grammar Structures

• Objetivo é ajudar a família e mudar a vida de quem não tem nada.

  ➔ Infinitive clause after copular verb

  ➔ The verb "é" is followed by the infinitives "ajudar" and "mudar" to express purpose.

• Eu sei que a bófia tem andado atenta, mas eu 'tou sempre atento a dobrar.

  ➔ Subordinate clause with "que" + present perfect progressive; colloquial contraction "'tou" for "estou"

  ➔ The clause "que a bófia tem andado" uses "que" to introduce a subordinate clause and "tem andado" (present perfect progressive). "'tou" is a slang contraction of "estou" meaning "I am".

• Mas se não corres viras demi-glace.

  ➔ Conditional clause with "se" + present indicative, main clause with simple present

  ➔ The particle "se" introduces a condition ("se não corres" – "if you don’t run"); the result "viras demi-glace" is in the simple present.

• Não quero vê‑la, yo.. nem que pintasse.

  ➔ Negative verb + infinitive with object pronoun; "nem que" + past subjunctive

  ➔ The phrase "vê‑la" combines the infinitive "vê" (to see) with the object pronoun "‑la" (her). "Nem que" introduces a clause with the past subjunctive "pintasse" (even if she painted).

• Ficar a vida na esquina a puxar da fina, só te deu um boné.

  ➔ Infinitive with preposition "a" indicating continuous action; clitic pronoun "te" before verb

  ➔ "a puxar" uses the preposition "a" plus the infinitive "puxar" to describe an ongoing activity. "te" is a clitic pronoun placed before the verb "deu" (gave).

• Tele desligado, passa na porta e grita.

  ➔ Imperative verbs "passa" and "grita" following a noun phrase

  ➔ "passa" ("come through") and "grita" ("shout") are used as commands after the phrase "Tele desligado" (TV off).

• Não me tires a pinta.

  ➔ Negative imperative with clitic pronoun "me" attached to the verb

  ➔ "me" is a clitic pronoun meaning "me" that is attached to the verb "tires" (remove) in the negative command "Não me tires" (Don’t remove me).

• Hoje em dia eu 'tou em casa, relaxado a disparar quilos.

  ➔ Colloquial present progressive using "'tou" for "estou"; infinitive with "a" indicating purpose

  ➔ "'tou" is a slang contraction of "estou" (I am). The phrase "a disparar" uses "a" + infinitive to convey the purpose "to shoot" (shooting kilos).

• Não há atrasos.

  ➔ Existential construction with "não há" meaning "there is not"

  ➔ "não há" is the negative form of "há" (there is/are). The sentence states that "there are no delays".
