Bola, bobola, bobola, bola um do green

Ball, bobola, bobola, ball one from the green

Bola, bobola, bobola, bola um do green

Ball, bobola, bobola, ball one from the green

Bola, bobola, bobola, bola um do green

Eu não admito, que chamem nazista de mito

I don't allow being called a myth, a Nazi

Diz que vem do gueto e bandido, e matem o povo oprimido

Says it comes from the ghetto and bandit, and kills the oppressed people

Disfarçando essa ditadura, na globo não passa a curta

Disguising this dictatorship, on Globo, the short film doesn't pass

Minha loucura hoje tem censura, molotovs na prefeitura

My madness today is censored, Molotovs at the city hall


Falar que meu flow, e imundo, e ignorar o que tu fez com o mundo

To say that my flow is filthy is to ignore what you did to the world

Pra ti, fica fácil de mais desvia o do povo, e julga o que nos faz

For you, it's too easy to divert from the people and judge what we do

Julga meu cabelo, julga minha roupa, julga o meu corre e minha vida loka

Judge my hair, judge my clothes, judge my hustle and my crazy life

Sou certo pelo certo não vim pra ficar de toca, e tu não tem respaldo nem pra abrir a boca

I'm right for what's right, didn't come to wear a cap, and you don't have the backing to even open your mouth


Não bastou dizimarem os índios, agora torturam os pobres

It wasn't enough to decimate the indigenous, now they torture the poor

Tentando calar minha gente, empurrando droga pros jovens

Trying to silence my people, pushing drugs to the young

Pro povo, e favela ou cela, a tela matem a sequela

For the people, whether in the slum or prison, the screen maintains the aftermath

Pra revolução, lembrei Mariguella, não adianta bater panela

For the revolution, I remembered Marighella, banging pots won't help


Meu minuto de luto e insulto, aumenta o tumulto trazendo a verdade

My minute of mourning and insult, increases the turmoil bringing the truth

Desestiga, corrupção, ostentação e vaidade

Discourage corruption, ostentation, and vanity

Eu falo o que quiser, to de pe, com a rale, bota fé

I say whatever I want, I'm on my feet, with the crowd, believe me

Pelo luto que eu conduzo o não uso, vou parar porra da letra que eu chapei em dois minutos

For the mourning that I lead and don't use, I'll stop the damn lyrics that I composed in two minutes


Bola, bobola, bobola, bola um do green

Ball, bobola, bobola, ball one from the green

Bola, bobola, bobola, bola um do green

Ball, bobola, bobola, ball one from the green

Bola, bobola, bobola, bola um do green

Ball, bobola, bobola, ball one from the green

Bola, bobola, bobola, bola um do green

Ball, bobola, bobola, ball one from the green


Bola um do green

Ball one from the green


Tão pesado quanto o tempo traga, mudanças vazias que varem tua alma

As heavy as time brings, empty changes that sweep your soul

Mantenha a calma, a rua na palma

Keep calm, the street in your hand

Antes era fogo e cruz pra quem e de verdade, hoje compra uma TV

It used to be fire and cross for those who are true, now buy a TV

Pra pode dizer que o que trazem e igualdade

To be able to say that what they bring is equality


Gerador de capital, pra político e marginal, na rua, eu tou ilegal

Capital generator, for politicians and criminals, in the street, I'm illegal

Com dois trago ce passa e mal

With two drinks you pass out

Se passa passado, presente e futuro na mente

If it happens past, present, and future in the mind

Entende que e cura pra gente doente, e cura pra gente doente

Understand that it's a cure for a sick people, and a cure for a sick people


Tão pesado quanto o tempo traga, mudanças vazias que varem tua alma

As heavy as time brings, empty changes that sweep your soul

Mantenha a calma, a rua na palma

Keep calm, the street in your hand

Antes era fogo e cruz pra quem e de verdade, hoje compra uma TV

It used to be fire and cross for those who are true, now buy a TV

Pra pode dizer que o que trazem e igualdade

Gerador de capital, pra político e marginal, na rua, eu tou ilegal

Com dois trago ce passa e mal

Se passa passado, presente e futuro na mente

Entende que e cura pra gente doente, e cura pra gente doente
