APRETAO Lyrics English Translation by FERNANDOCOSTA
They think it’s easy
But more than easy, it’s pleasurable
I’m from a real hood where people think about making money
For many, it was hard to leave the cycle
Where they teach you to steal and run street business
I’m honest, my mom’s waiting for me at home
The real gangsters protect and embrace her
I keep stacking bread so nothing’s ever missing
And the belly’s always full, okay
A cut with Feid, by law, made by my boy, the chain shining
We hit the club after 6, always black and white, never grey
When the hood shows up, she shakes it
I light that bad herb on a holy night
Lights go off so no one sees
While the smoke floats, got me dizzy
Like this, tight
We here, high
And it ain’t over, no, the night won’t stop dancing
Now I’m better than before, tired of the fakes
Now everyone’s a street thug, I’m a lover of the streets
We live like gangsters, shining like diamonds
Before I had none, now they all got implants
I always do what feels right
Blessed just a couple months back
Failed more than 20 times
No backpack heavy enough to weigh me down (pow)
So the envy don’t stress me out
We pull up to the party with that thug flow
We on top ‘cause we climbed out the mud
Y’all know who we are, so respect the ranks
Stickin’ my hand in like Diego Armando
Your whole crew knows I really go in
We started from zero, so save me the disrespect
I wake up in the mornin’, light one with my girl
Closing deals while the kids stack paper
My mom told me, “A barking dog never bites”
I’m always hustlin’, chasing them greens
All the young boys lookin’ for trouble on the corner
Got a lil’ shorty waitin’ for me in Argentina
Always ready, set for whatever
If you want, we’ll show you, kid, how to move
Got all my dogs ready for the fight
When it comes hard, I’m the one who swings back
When the hood shows up, she shakes it
I light that bad herb on a holy night
Lights go off so no one sees
While the smoke floats, got me dizzy
Like this, tight
We here, high
And it ain’t over, no, the night won’t stop dancing
I roll with the real ones, always been an honest kid
The cars are foreign
The account full of zeros
The movie they’re livin’, I think it’s fake (eeeh)
There’s a couple strays out there takin’ shots at me
I’m always ready for the conflict
Years go by, but we still undefeated
They want me on the cross like Jesus Christ
I brought the drugs for all the addicts
When the hood shows up, she shakes it
I light that bad herb on a holy night
Lights go off so no one sees
While the smoke floats, got me dizzy
Like this, tight
We here, high
And it ain’t over, no, the night won’t stop dancing
