_____
New Gaia, rough youth with attitude
_____
Chelas is the place, Chelas is the cradle
_____
I came with the strength of what has to be
_____
I saw my reflection was gonna ditch anorexia
_____
And stay phat as I grow old
_____
I fight for the utopia I wanted as a kid
_____
Promising youngster with a prophecy
_____
I brought the truth to the surface
That spoils whoever is accepted
_____
To see if it ruins my prejudice
_____
It could, but goodwill in my concept
_____
Comes with the company of someone who knows
_____
I swore I'd honor the parish I inherit
_____
Or I'd spend the whole day at Baçaria
_____
I recorded adventures, I even have frames
_____
I pulled stunts on dark streets where I was a stranger
_____
I made daily beats in lonely hours
_____
And dropped them with precarious and ugly measures
_____
Syllable by syllable there's no equal
_____
Sound and cinema teach me to assimilate
_____
I trained rap's cadence
_____
Patiently till I saw on my cap
_____
Like hearing my name on the radio
_____
And seeing the hunger and faith of a young Tomé at Johnny's
_____
With a microphone and a fresh verse
_____
That I'm a people's poet
_____
And besides I have the world around me
_____
To write my story
_____
As long as my memory allows
_____
If you don't know where I come from
_____
Then let me tell you!
_____
I always carry my place, my origin with me
_____
If you don't know where I come from
_____
I always carry my place, my origin with me
If you're waiting for me to 'fall'
_____
You 'freeze', you mix 'Gaia' and 'Chelas'
_____
Squabbles? You linger in them
_____
In the old town they never saw me as a villain
_____
A kid in the queue never caught skimming the motherlode
_____
My creation, no contraception at conception
_____
With tradition, no contradiction
_____
With traction on beats that draw me in
_____
Against the action of those who don't wake up
_____
I collect lesson after lesson
_____
Handbrake to 15 years of nails for the lungs
_____
'Man on a mission', man within me
_____
All observation perspectives are possible, they are
_____
I've never been basic, square or rectangular
_____
You won't find closing hours for an open mind
_____
At this service station, neurons are on duty
_____
And you'd help yourself to my tone
_____
If my tone served you!
_____
But it's been twenty that I feel the finesse of the following
_____
Therefore I've opened my hand more than a beggar
_____
A good listener to whoever paints in verse
_____
Someone who dribbles the source of the constituent process
_____
At the origin of originals I always originated more
_____
Of the truest, in fact, based on real facts
_____
The love I feel for this?
_____
According to 'The Passion of the Christ'
_____
I'd rather show up less in this and do a lot more!
_____
If you don't know where I come from
_____
I always carry my place, my origin with me
_____
If you don't know where I come from
_____
Then let me tell you!
_____
I always carry my place, my origin with me
