Lyric

A Man!

Thiago Makoto

I keep dreaming it

Like I’m doing this

Even when I’m not doing this

Something pulls me to it

Put me into it

But I end up ruining trees

Killing loose leaves

I am really losing leaf

Never ink

Like a squid when it’s threatened

I’m set to do in music

The world I move in

By using creativity

Inside my room

It ain’t roomy

But looks when I perceive me

As a kid alone

Doing all the things in

Order to convince me

Feel a little less empty

I’m alone in my world

But don’t want anyone just getting in

I’m alone in my world

But don’t want anyone just getting in

Been always me and my mom

‘Til my heart was filled with jealousy

She brought another man home

Felt strange

Cause the man had been always me

Merely a boy to understand

For a single mom is hard to raise a kid

And still maintain friends

Let alone dates

My selfishness can’t keep her alone

On her cold fate

Everyone necessitates the one

To split the world’s weight with

She’s alone in her world

But don’t want anyone just getting in

She’s alone in her world

But don’t want anyone just getting in

And he got in!

Mama had opened the door

She trusted you

I can see

She hadn’t done it for long

More than years

Since I was old enough to know

How to count them

Three at home now

Will I have to keep couting?

Please man, I don’t want no brother

Despite the fact I act I despise you

I’ve asked for a father

During my whole childhood

Looking young child good at soccer

No one had taught me

How to dribble some problems

A man that little by little

I would mirror the way

He loves a woman

Love her, no lover

That’s you man!

The one that’s taken care of my mother

Whenever she needed

Or didn’t somebody around her

Like when

The man she loved the most died

Spent months crying

Unable to say goodbye

On other world’s side

Like when

She been given the diagnosis

A man whose kind of gift

Ain’t restricted to buying roses

To whom presence’s

Most valuable present

Through hard roads

A man hard working

Confuse how to express love that

I had first looked closely

And before I could close the door

My hearts must’ve gone and seek

Intently for good intentions on him

Besides his comprehension

Of my entering on his daily

The man that showed me

His youth team to support

Can’t forget the afternoons

When we would play sports

As I dreamed

I ended up mirroring

Your smile, your jokes

Your style, your songs

Um pai com bom gosto musical

Com uns dez anos

Me mostrou o rap nacional

Mal sabia ele que a partir do que ouvi

Minha vida estaria mudando a partir dali

Amém!
