I still remember being three years old
My first contact with bars
My first day at school
How I felt like leaving
I did whatever they wanted
I believed everything they told me
They asked me to be patient
I failed
Then they shouted: - Grow up and show up!
I grew up and showed up and didn't see anything
I learned what was right from the wrong person
I watched the news on TV
And I learned to steal to win
Nothing was as I imagined
Not even the people I loved so much
But so what, if it's really like that
I'll see if I can take the better for me.
Help me if I want
Do what I ask
Don't do what I do
But don't leave me here
No one asked me if I was ready
And I was completely dizzy
Trying to discover the truth
In the middle of the city's lies
I was trying to see what was wrong
How many children God had already killed.
They drank my blood and didn't let me live
My destiny was ready and they didn't let me choose
Come and talk about freedom for then arrest me
They ask for identification so they can later beat me
They take away all my weapons
How can I defend myself?
You won this battle
As for the war,
Let's see.
