I have to say

Some people’s eyes refuse to see the street reality
Their narrow mind refuses to understand
I feel that someone has to be on the side of my people
I have to talk about my people
The people where everyone is trying to do something smart
To run after some kind of dividend
The smiles are fewer and fewer
If you fall, you will be even harder hit
Happiness cannot be seen, and if it is, it lasts just a little
Everything is full of venom
Unlistened prayers rise to heaven every day
Tears in the eyes of the ghetto boys
This life has caught my people like a maelstrom
And there is no escape but to keep on fighting

The society rejects the weak
My bother, do you want a better place? I have to say

I can’t close my eyes to what I see around me
I feel the pain of my people, the tears of my brothers

Some people fight and study to become important people
And the rest are the losers who don’t matter
No matter how much you know, don’t matter how much you learn
You will never know what true life feels like
Lift your head from your pile of books
Look around, live like me and then you will see it’s a different world
You feel superior and would never be humiliated
My people only read the humiliation book
Most of them have stopped believing in anything
Most of them just keep on carrying their cross
Condemn forever to fight for something better
I can’t be that one, I have to say
I have friends who don’t know what home means,
Others who have no food on their dinner table
You might believe in your books, you will be the most learned
But you don’t know anything, you just don’t know
