Eu disse: My nigga, we will run 00:13
Na corrida contra o tempo 00:17
Tamanho do sonho é do céu e sim 00:21
Eu espero caber no vento 00:25
Eu disse: My nigga, we will run 00:29
Na corrida contra o tempo 00:32
Esse peso não serve-me 00:37
Eu só espero caber no vento? 00:40
00:43
Na verdade, eu não sei quanto custa 00:45
O seu nome tatuado na pele de outra pessoa 00:47
Meu mano, eu não sei quanto custa 00:49
Que o peso é que fortaleceu esse músculo 00:51
O que é que te fez essa ponte pa' angústia? 00:53
O resultado que fez de mim mudo 00:55
É, o processo despreza o teu ego 00:57
E te eleva direto à leveza do luxo 00:58
Eu disse: Vim p'ra ver eu cantar por trás do céu 01:01
E vou correr até a cara congele 01:04
Eles disseram: Não, mano, eu senti na pele 01:09
E com a força que cada lágrima deu 01:12
My nigga, we will run 01:16
Na corrida contra o tempo 01:19
Tamanho do sonho é do céu e sim 01:23
Eu espero caber no vento 01:26
Eu disse: My nigga, we will run 01:31
Na corrida contra o tempo 01:34
Esse peso já não serve-me 01:39
Eu espero voar com o vento 01:42
Só espero voar com o vento 01:48
É que aqui é parar ou morrer 01:50
Sinto-me amarrado à corrente 01:52
A corrida não tem fim 01:54
Eu 'tou a lutar contra o tempo 01:55
Com demónios em mim 01:58
O futuro não é evidente, na, na 01:59
Vou só seguir o que eu sinto 02:02
Sei que não passei no teste 02:03
Ó mãe, eu sinto que 'tou a escalar o Everest 02:06
Preciso de um empurrão dos ventos vindos do leste 02:10
Se não eu sei que vou acabar por ir pa' festa 02:14
O vento disparado vais 02:17
Eu digo: Para onde tu quiseres 02:21
Quiseres, quiseres, quiseres 02:24
Quiseres, quiseres, quiseres 02:28
Eu disse: My nigga, we will run 02:33
Na corrida contra o tempo 02:36
Tamanho do sonho é do céu e sim 02:40
Eu espero caber no vento 02:44
Eu disse: My nigga, we will run 02:48
Na corrida contra o tempo 02:52
Esse peso não serve-me 02:56
Eu só espero caber no vento 02:59
Dois dias sem dormir, 'tou acusar fadiga 03:04
Depois de bolir ainda fui pa' má vida 03:07
Nem 'tou a sentir o tamanho da ferida 03:09
Também não preferia, nem sei bem se eu queria 03:10
A vida que eu tenho 03:12
Nem sei bem se eu queria 03:14
Foi sorte ou empenho 03:14
Se perdi o norte encontrei 03:15
Tenho tatuado no brain 03:17
Vou vencer memo' quando perco 03:18
Nós damos sorte ao empenho 03:20
Não tem nada a ver, isto só sou eu a ser 03:21
Aquilo que quero, isso quer dizer 03:25
Se não der p'ra correr, eu prefiro morrer 03:26
Deixa-me viver, eu sei, há barreiras 03:29
Mas não quero saber 03:31
Bué da' ratoeiras, rasteiras da vida 03:32
Mas há sempre fome e sede de vencer 03:34
Na corrida contra o tempo 03:38
03:41

[English]
I said: My nigga, we will run
In the race against time
The size of the dream is from the sky, yes
I hope to fit in the wind
I said: My nigga, we will run
In the race against time
This weight doesn't serve me
I just hope to fit in the wind?
...
Actually, I don't know how much it costs
Your name tattooed on someone else's skin
My brother, I don't know how much it costs
That the weight is what strengthened this muscle
What made you build this bridge to anguish?
The result that made me mute
Yeah, the process disregards your ego
And elevates you straight to the lightness of luxury
I said: I came to see myself sing behind the sky
And I will run until my face freezes
They said: No, man, I felt it on my skin
And with the strength that each tear gave
My nigga, we will run
In the race against time
The size of the dream is from the sky, yes
I hope to fit in the wind
I said: My nigga, we will run
In the race against time
This weight no longer serves me
I hope to fly with the wind
I just hope to fly with the wind
It's that here it's stop or die
I feel tied to the chain
The race has no end
I'm fighting against time
With demons in me
The future is not evident, nah, nah
I will just follow what I feel
I know I didn't pass the test
Oh mother, I feel like I'm climbing Everest
I need a push from the winds coming from the east
If not, I know I'll end up going to the party
The wind is shot
I say: Wherever you want
You want, you want, you want
You want, you want, you want
I said: My nigga, we will run
In the race against time
The size of the dream is from the sky, yes
I hope to fit in the wind
I said: My nigga, we will run
In the race against time
This weight doesn't serve me
I just hope to fit in the wind
Two days without sleep, I'm feeling fatigue
After hustling, I still went to a bad life
I'm not even feeling the size of the wound
I wouldn't prefer it either, I don't even know if I wanted
The life that I have
I don't even know if I wanted
Was it luck or effort?
If I lost the north, I found
I have it tattooed in my brain
I will win even when I lose
We give luck to effort
It has nothing to do with it, this is just me being
What I want, that means
If I can't run, I'd rather die
Let me live, I know, there are barriers
But I don't want to know
A lot of traps, life's pitfalls
But there's always hunger and thirst to win
In the race against time
