RJ, 85 00:06
Nasce mais um jovem audaz 00:08
Na subida do morro, no Rio de Janeiro 00:11
Decoro um vinil 00:14
E o universo é minha área 00:17
Juventude perdida, maldade atenta 00:21
Pequenos crimes, histórias em câmera lenta 00:25
O baile voltou e nóis se empolga 00:27
Qual menor que não rodou 00:30
Mexeu com droga no RJ anos 90? 00:31
A equipe agita, ZZ destrói 00:34
Vitória é ser playboy e pegar mina 00:37
Rap das arma, caralho, funk com axé 00:40
Blondow no bigode ralo, nós ama Nike Air 00:42
2003, Lapa, rimando com gosto 00:45
Perco, ganho batalha, mas guardem meu rosto 00:48
Nos arredores do posto, a boemia prevê 00:51
No berço da malandragem vai nascer um monstro 00:54
Numa margem, traz a profecia 00:56
Vinte e um do doze do doze, vivaz poesia 00:59
Rodas de rima cantam os versos em coro 01:02
Meses depois, pirata vê brilhar o ouro, nóis é estouro 01:04
Do bilhete o que for Tirré e Mãolee 01:08
É o macete no jogo 01:11
Tudubom Records, primeira banca forte do rap 01:13
Quem tem boca fala o que quer 01:16
Mas o mais bolado é o Ret 01:18
Boas sementes pra bendita colheita 01:19
Homem do ano, loiro no volume 40 01:22
AK47 é a.k.a Filipe Ret nas favelas 01:24
Hoje, endola do FR em todas elas 01:28
Segue o horizonte 01:31
Tô por quem ta na correria e faz por onde 01:33
E ainda é cedo, tenho muita munição pra repor 01:36
Nego, chuva de glória e a história só começou 01:39
Blin-blin no jogo, imprimo o ritmo 01:42
Nunca elitista, capitalista convicto 01:44
Sem hipocrisia, papo reto grande 01:47
Pai de família, chefe avante, eu sigo invicto 01:50
(Sigo invicto) 01:53
Siga sem medo, faça você mesmo o amor 01:55
Basta acreditar 02:02
Diga com fé: o mundo vai ser melhor 02:04
Eu amo minha vida 02:07
Basta acreditar 02:13
Basta acreditar e o mundo vai ser melhor 02:16
Eu amo minha vida e o mundo vai ser melhor 02:19
Basta acreditar 02:22
Amo minha vida, amo minha vida 02:25
O tempo passa ao nosso favor 02:28
Nós fica mais e mais afiado com o tempo 02:32
Tipo vinho 02:36
Vida longa aos reis, baby 02:38
Errar também é caminho 02:44
Basta acreditar e o mundo vai ser melhor 02:47
Eu amo minha vida e o mundo vai ser melhor 02:50
Basta acreditar 02:53
02:58
Siga sem medo 03:06
Faça você mesmo o amor 03:09
Basta acreditar 03:13
Diga com fé: o mundo vai ser melhor 03:16
Eu amo minha vida 03:19

[English]
RJ, 85
Another brave young man is born
Climbing the hill, in Rio de Janeiro
I spin a vinyl
And the universe is my playground
Lost youth, violence lurking
Small crimes, stories in slow motion
The party's back and we're hyped
Any kid who's ever been out here
Dealt with drugs in Rio in the 90s?
The crew's hyped up, ZZ destroys
Winning is being a playboy and pulling girls
Rap about guns, damn, funk with axé
Blonde with thin mustache, we love Nike Air
2003, Lapa, rhyming with style
Lose, win battles, but keep my face safe
Near the gas station, bohemia foresees
In the birthplace of trickery, a monster will be born
On the shore, bringing prophecy
December 21st, 2012, vivid poetry
Rhyme circles sing the chorus together
Months later, pirate sees the gold shine, we’re popping off
Whatever it is, Tirré and Mãolee
Got the tricks in the game
Tudubom Records, the strongest rap stand
Whoever’s got a mouth can say what they want
But the real deal is Ret
Good seeds for a blessed harvest
Man of the year, blonde with volume 40
AK47, aka Filipe Ret in the favelas
Today, he cranks FR in all of them
Follow the horizon
I'm for those on the grind and making it happen
And it's still early, got plenty of ammunition to refill
Bro, rain of glory, and the story has just begun
Blin-blin in the game, I set the rhythm
Never elitist, a true capitalist
No hypocrisy, straight-up talk
Family man, leading boss, remaining undefeated
(Remaining undefeated)
Move forward fearlessly, make your own love
Just believe
Say with faith: the world will get better
I love my life
Just believe
Just believe, and the world will be better
I love my life, and the world will be better
Just believe
Love my life, love my life
Time works in our favor
We become sharper with time
Like fine wine
Long live the kings, baby
Making mistakes is also a path
Just believe, and the world will be better
I love my life, and the world will be better
Just believe
...
Move forward without fear
Make your own love
Just believe
Say with faith: the world will be better
I love my life
Just believe
...
