24 Years in The Land of The Rising Son Front Cover

Lyric

1994

Thiago Makoto

One more day of work

One less day of your life

Man, are you making it worth

Or you’re just wasting your time?

In the end, time’s money

That’s your life expense

Give time, get money

That’s your life exchange

Remember when you first came

In this place?

Searching for some better days

Or a way to escape

You were only eighteen

I mean, that was brave

No space for fears

Only to feign the strenght

A fool teen, full of dreams to fulfill

Full of energy

Pocket’s full

You’re into frenesi

You’d met friends

Or were they enemies?

The type of company

Only to share the Hennessy

You came with goals

This place’s a goalkeeper

I know you’d tried the most

To work and still go reach ‘em

Although I also know

How this temptation works

You wake up

And act like nothing’s wrong

Like Rihanna song

That thrill of getting your dough

The one that won’t last

Enjoy the most

After all you so young

And life goes fast

That thrill of payday

Better than eat when you hungry

That thrill of playing games

Saturday’s coming…

You came here

Cause you’d wished for more

(Oh, oh)

You came here

That’s all you’d wished for?

(In 1994)

You came here…

Nothing’ll be the same as before

(In 1994)

Tell me

Is it really what you’d wished for?

Drink cups, go to clubs

Stuff the young gon do

It was in one of those

Where you’d found

That young cold dude

With his young bros crew

He looked older and cool

Since you gave no wrong clues

He started some more views

It wasn’t only views

He wanted from you

In his mind all the time

Some porno moves

Damn, you fell for him

And he felt for you

His love was not so true

You merely one on queue

Don’t matter

Both liked chatter

And the chat done good

He was better than the average

Not a Steph on shoot

He asked her

If she’d rather chat at his flat soon

She accepted

Boy let her wear his leather jacket

Led her with care

And when they stepped there

Up the ladder

You end up in room

There it goes both doom

She asked

“Where’s the condom, dude?

You got none with you?”

Skip to the glory

Both to horny to keep searching though

You came here

Cause you’d wished for more

(Oh, oh)

You came here

That’s all what you’d wished for?

(In 1994)

You came here…

Nothing’ll be the same as before

(In 1994)

Tell me

Is it really what you’d wished for?

She ain’t got the time

The fact is her life’s

Ridding so fast on these days

She in overtime

Can’t count on nobody

Doing the best for kid’s raise

To reach ways better than hers

Thus, not at church

But she praises

The Lord, but praise more

Her effort to get wage

Cause right now

Not only for herself

Gotta protect the shelter

It turned into their shell

Kid’s pearl, mind twirls

Weight of the world on the shoulders

Living in a constant winter

And pretending she colder

She’s been told to

Not to show her feelings

In a place where nobody feel shit

This could be a weakness

So she spend weekdays

Surrounded by greed snakes

At work, can’t stop worrying

Imploring for kid’s safety

She hate the way she raised him

But she loves what she raised

Não tem tudo que ama

Mas ama tudo que tem

In the end

It was worth all the work

Bad night sleeps

Waking up at dawn

You’re the reason I’m here

Thank you for all mom
