Welcome to my sinister world; make sure you know how to
get in
Drugs, police, revolver, not allowed, make sure you know
how to avoid it
If you don’t believe what I say
Come here and check out death from close up
You will see that justice, here, is done by the bullet
Your life in the slum is not worth anything
Even the guys playing football in the square
Argument, punch in the face, that’s how the shit starts
Creative mind, ready to do bad
People here die for just one Real
And when the police arrives, everyone is scared
The description of the culprit is: from the slum, poor,
black!
In the slum, every black guy who shaves his head
Is confused with a drug dealer, bicycle-thief
Kids are missing in school,
They are living the life of crime, a noteblock is a pistol
A 12-year old girl has got a bun in the oven
A 9-year old boy of 9 is smoking joints
Stray bullet, unemployment, precarious home
Gunfire in the night
It’s another gang trying to invade my hood
In my house, in the early morning hours, everyone flat on
the floor
Fearing the stray bullet without name or direction
Pow, pow, a body hits the floor, Pow pow of a sponger
A dupe who is now dead because he thought he could be a
geezer
Started the day totally riddled, next to the corner shop
A dupe that thougt he was a geezer
Just like my niece’s father
Impregnated my sister, didn’t take up any responsibility,
disappeared
Father, god-father, and uncle of my niece, that’s
me, MV Bill
I found my salvation in the Hip-Hop culture
Others engage in the life of crime to gain street credibility
If you dare, come here and see
It’s society turning its back on CDD
Chorus:
Information Trafficking (Living daily with this situation)
x4
I
don’t want to see my old lady worried
Fearing that they lock me up, taken for a thief
The system of racism is very effective
For them, one less black guy is better than one too much
CDD, West Zone, Jacarepagua, here, the trigger speaks louder,
pa pa pa
The role models of the other kids live on television
The role models of the kids from the hood have an assault
rifle in their hands
Cocaine, marijuana, revolver, cachaça
The last option is at the offie and is legal
Nearly for free, is the alcohol, and it kills
I remember a lost guy who was deep into the bottle
He arrived drunk at home wanting to break everything
Because he had drunken the cachaça, the bottle, and
his future, too
Drinking to do wrong, this is why I tell you:
You dupe, if you don’t know how to drink, then drink
piss
MV Bill, messenger of the truth
MV Bill, speaking for the community
If you have the balls, come here and see
It’s society turning its back on CDD
Chorus:
Information Trafficking (Living daily with this situation)
x4
Black,
poor, slum
Old lady crying, covered corpse, blood on the floor, next
to it a candle
Dept collection, snorted cocaine and did not pay
The guys came and got even by shooting him in the head
The suffering is left to the old lady
Who always prayed wanting to see her son well
He died because of charlie, do you get that?
He was drinking a beer at the dance hall
This happens because here nobody helps nobody
A black guy does not like to see another black guy well
off
That’s the truth, it’s not a con, believe it
You have to be careful with offers
Offer to snort, offer to smoke, offer to rob
Here, nobody offers you a job
My way of thinking is unusual for a deprived person
MV Bill, survivor
Of the inner war, within the slum
Where only poor blacks and whites who belong to it, die
The system makes people fight against people
But in reality, our enemy is someone else
The enemy wears suit and tie
But, it’s the people here that wrongly kill each other
Through alcohol, through drugs
Destruction at the drug den, destruction at the offie
Doing exactly what the system wants, going out to rob
To show off some Nikes!
Wise up, it’s a black guy’s trap
