LYRICS GAME

Family, first off I wanna make it real clear

I’m not here to rep women’s Rap, alright?

Much less men’s, I’m here to rep national Rap

And I ask that you respect my gender identity, deal?

It came out kinda like this

Pen and paper in my hand work better than medicine

While I’m writing there’s no room left for boredom

Where I’ll end up, I don’t know, been thinking for over a month

And what I’ve seen I’m gonna tell you all

So much arrogance, so much haughtiness

Sanity’s scarce in the world of appearances

Never be silent in front of the oppressor

Don’t let the system kill your love

'Yo, Triz, your sound is so bad'

Bro, that’s Rap

Wanna dance? Go listen to Ivete

Visionary poetry that hits the heart

Yeah, I talk about sadness so there’s understanding

And as usual I press on the wound

Talking about the prejudice we face every day

Rap exists to show the truth and the pain

It’s a shout from inside out crying for love

'Hey, driver, good evening sir, I need to get downtown'

'Can I get in, please?'

'Hop in, kid, but don’t get used to it'

'I’ll tell you when we get there, watch these streets'

'We’re together, bro, good luck on the ride'

The fine’s already written, so let’s ride this bullet

Stay humble and you can get whatever you want

And I’m in this game as long as I still can

Since the flow is mine I’ll drop the good stuff right away

This is my reality, if you don’t like it, find another

I’ve already got too much drama to worry about

Company was missing in my living room

I like that lady, her scent on my bed

Our bodies are the same and together burn in flame

But I’m not here to belittle anyone

There’s plenty of people in the world, you won’t run out, bro

Lemme tell you the situation

Lots of prejudiced folks, no respect, no vision

Many watchdogs of pure alienation

If the dude is gay, what matters is the heart

And I already learned how prejudice works

But sorry to tell you we’re not on the sidelines

If you lack respect, you don’t know a thing

Go your way while I walk my road

Where’s this gonna stop?

If I was born with a gift, I know I’ll keep going

I hit the scene, wrote a poem

For your heart to hear

Prejudice gets you nowhere

Don’t be another closed-minded jerk

’Cause hate kills, but love heals

Which side will you stand on?

Brazil, the country that kills the most trans people

I hope the stats don’t rise tomorrow

Tell me, why does the way someone is bug you?

If it bugs you

It’s my body, it’s my story

And over my flesh you have no authority

Don’t be another coward with zero mentality

Be smart, open your mind

The world’s for everyone, don’t be overbearing

Be gay, be trans, Black or Asian

A heart beating in a chest is equal to equal

The individual in each one isn’t up for debate

Rise up, seek altitude

The nosy crowd said

'Go shape your eyebrows, fix your hair'

'And change your looks'

'I think it’s a woman, I think it’s a man'

'I think you gotta wear this uniform'

First of all, you’re not in my head

Second, your reasoning is depressing

What you think of me doesn’t matter, bro

Unlike you, I’ve got education

I’m not obliged to give explanations

But here, you know it’s pure information

And for anyone who wants to know, my gender is neutral

You don’t need to get it, just need to show respect

You gain nothing being a backward fool

Your conservatism is already outdated

You tried to knock me down still laughing

But the light of my struggle your bullet can’t dim

You insulted me by judging my looks

But forgot to see the shine of my essence

You talked about my hair, my gap-toothed smile

But I swear they don’t complain about what they’ve tasted

Mental elevation, in this flow I keep it always righteous

Hypocrisy surrounds me, the snitches kiss a**

But I stand firm, nothing shakes my ideal, bro

Don’t draw conclusions without knowing my ways

Before trash-talking me I invite you to meet me

Shout-out to the ones who ride, the kids are dope

Amid so much evil there’re still some who get saved

Where’s this gonna stop?

If I was born with a gift, I know I’ll keep going

I hit the scene, wrote a poem

For your heart to hear

Prejudice gets you nowhere

Don’t be another closed-minded jerk

’Cause hate kills, only love heals

Which side will you stand on?
