I'm a thief

Now I'm a thief, article 157¹
Bitches love me
Playboys envy me
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Police makes a plan
I'm the children's hero
 
A lot of people envy me when I arrive
Gossipmongers suck! Am I right, bro?
I'm sick of the world
Tuesday afternoon
Just smoked a quick one with the homies
I only trust myself, no one else, understand me?
Even parrots learn to speak slangs well
Tramp robs bank wearing Gucci and Versace
Police arms a trap using the energy company truck
Greek's gift ain't a Trojan Horse
Not all that glitters is relic or jewel
Do you remember what happened? [Talk then, Jão!]²
The guy came here, looking like a thief
 
What's up guys, hella hot in here
Excuse me, let me smoke
Pass the boof, Romário
 
Hmm, kinda confident, huh? Yeah, I noticed
I thought they were your partner
Take this cash
 
He says he has a partner
Who sells this and that
Who is, who has?
Marijuana to sell
I want a kilogram
 
A kilogram of what, bro? Who do you know here?
No idea, I don't know, huh
I'm a newcomer too
 
Brother, when he said
A kilogram is the code
It's the cash, the money has come
But where have you seen it?
So, it's roguery
You don't go, from here to there, dressed like that
On sunglasses, shorts and sandals
The black guy was a policeman, bro
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Bitches love me
Playboys envy me
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Police makes a plan

Bro, São Paulo is a jungle
And I know its fauna
But take it easy, thief, take it easy
I see the informers go up and the bitches go down
Both are afraid to drive the GTI
 
But also, Jão
No pretending, no lying
It's a favela crackhouse, let's agree on that
Auntie has been working for 30 years and still goes by foot
Sometimes she sniffs because she's pissed off, right?
 
What, you're not into that, are you?
Rebelling against the government, not with me, what the hell
Traitor, blind snake
Have you thought if this ever becomes fashionable?
Nêgo, they'll hand you over to the department
What's up dirty, conspiracy maker
I don't even know if there is, I don't know.
Anywhere, many of them have cell phones
I can't believe when it happens
When the police comes
I can't believe that one of us is gonna change our minds
As incredible as it may be, man
God is the only one who knows the day of tomorrow
I don't know, I haven't seen, I'm not, I die padlocked
Okay, let me go
Out of sight, out of mind
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Bitches love me
Playboys envy me
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Police makes a plan

Family first, that's what it is
I swear to you, mother, I'll stop
My love is only yours shining in a safe
As long as I live you'll never suffer again
It's like that, if it is, it's now
It's velvet pants, it's ass out
Forgive me, forgive me, mother
If I no longer have the look
That one day I had to please you
With a sign written like this
May 12th (Mother's Day) in brown
A blue and white heart on crepe paper
Your world was good
Too bad that nowadays I only find it
In your photo album
I swear I'll prove to you it wasn't in vain
But I can't follow their orders anymore
 
Gee, Jão, talking to yourself?
Was that a good one? Give some of it to me
Shit's crazy and the bro called you over there
But it has to be right now, don't think too much, wanna go?
It's in a while
8 o'clock, 8 and so
It's all on the paper, you can get some cash
The team was assembled, but there's
One that can't, bro
It's on the other side
But it's, it's for the Order
Let's go, it's hella easy
Just watch it, okay
I only did it for you because you're worthy
I'm not gonna put you on bad situations, ally
This is the scene, stay tuned
 
A white hand guy just lies in wait
In the bar across the street all day long, drinking coffee, he's ours
The other is Japanese, Kazu, who stays there, selling a hot dog
And parking tickets
 
You buy a hot dog and stand there quietly
He has only a barrel in his cart
 
You'll see the blonde in there? She'll be inside
Hanging out with the officers, and bam
That's when come in
 
It's two, there's one more, it hurts who gave it, it's quick
At the time, he'll be in the restroom with an AK
 
There's an Yamaha XT at the door and a Shaara
Take the wrong way, turn left and don't stop
Directly and straight, anyway, to the square
Which is under construction, and the cars won't pass
 
On the other side is Rose, in a VW Golf, waiting for you
You give her the guns and the suitcases and that's it
 
Then it's just beach and marijuana
Fucking all that rich girls in Fernando de Noronha
 
Gee, bro
Get those little guys over there
That live in the condo
 
Geez!
And those girls there
All beautiful chicks, man
If they even like to smoke a joint
I'm gonna take them all away
 
D-Day is here
If this is the place, then here I am
The colder, the more in favor
A lover of money, punctual as the sun
Just like me, in robe and helmet
In the cold it's already warm still wearing a vest
 
I'm already here
And where are you Jão?
I can't see anyone
And the Japanese guy ain't here
 
Not the cart, right? I got here
And the hand guy didn't even eat either
Since when I arrived
 
But why today? Why did they change it?
It's hard to make mistakes, who said it wrong?
I don't know, it's weird Jão, it's sinister
Isn't it better if we go for it, check it out
And if anything happens, the blonde will call you
There's no rush
You're like my brother
Fuck, don't do that, damn!
 
There's only the common people and the motorcycle courier
It's freezing, let's go inside, we're the bums
 
Jesus Christ, they've gone a thousand miles an hour.
I told you, you didn't hear, you didn't look, you didn't see me
My face is waiting, I don't take my eyes off it
Inside there I don't know, my stomach hurts
 
Here comes the guy
Come on, it's now
Everything went wrong, let's go, shit got dirty
Where's that other guy?
Nice, bro
I told you so
Everybody's muted
There was only two, but there's three
 
The other guy was coming, what was he laughing at?
System's nightmare has no fear of death
He bent his knee and fell like a man
In the turntable, hugging the suitcase
I told you, damn didn't I tell you? It wouldn't work
Who's gonna tell his mother when we get there?
A son to raise, can you imagine the news
Unfortunate, let's go, there's gonna be a bunch of policemen here
 
Life is painful
But I won't cry
What do you live from?
I'll humble myself
It's all a matter
Of knowing the place
How much it's got?
How much comes from it?
And my share, how much is it?
Because
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Bitches love me
Playboys envy me
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Police makes a plan
I'm the children's hero
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Bitches love me
Playboys envy me
 
Now I'm a thief, article 157
Police makes a plan
I'm the children's hero
 
What's up, freak, faith in the One who's up there
That looks at everyone, and everyone has the same value
When it comes easy, it goes easy, that's the natural law
You can't get desperate
And hey children, I'm watching you, huh
Don't join gangs, the scene is sad
Let's study, respect mom and dad
And live, live, that's the real scene
Much Love
