Favela Lyrics

Born with nothing

Into nowhere

So your life was set

Grew up with hunger

Without dreams

In the street without a name

The war on drugs

Is good for rich

But the mouth still has to eat

Tangled with the darkness

Well before you turned 18

And so you learned

fighting in the streets

The jack of all trades of misery

No road to choose from

Still you chose wrong

Thought you're more

Than a pawn on board

A deal gone wrong

Will you see the dawn?

All hell broke loose

A fear that chills your core

Run and hide

From their sight

Shadows veil

There you'll stay

Run and hide

From their lights

Darkness hides

There you cry

Looked for way out

Caught red-handed

The world wants to

Kick you right back in

The hand that feeds

Turns to strangle you

You lost and it's

Dog–eat–dog 'round here

One-eyed sleep

Paralyzed with fear

The risk you took

Is your destiny

It's a battle for survival

Every day, in hell you are

Do or die, a law of murder

Fight until you're done

No one ever cared

As long as you were out of sight

Trampled on a wrong foot

Now they chase you 'till you're gone

Born with nothing

Into nowhere

So your life was set

All alone and trembling

Now you wait for final bow

Life's not fair

And little was there

Left for you to spare

The rest you took

And threw to wind

It's time for curtain call

Run and hide

From their lights

Bullets hail

No grave waits

Run and hide

For their guns

Sing you now

Lullaby
