Joao Liberato - Midnight Scars Lyrics

[Intro]
Streets ain't safe, never been, never will
Got my brother's blood still staining my hands, keeping it real

[Verse 1]
Spinning on the corner, we was just trying to make it
One wrong look, one wrong move, they came to take it
Rafael by my side, we was killing that show
Then I saw the flash of steel, everything went slow
Funk beats pumping through the speakers that night
Next thing I know, my brother's fighting for his life

[Chorus]
Sirens screaming through São Paulo's veins
(Porra!) Can't wash away these crimson stains
Every beat drop takes me back to that scene
Living with this shit got me feeling unclean
Surviving ain't living when your mind's in chains
But we keep dancing through this f*cking pain

[Verse 2]
Hospital monitors beeping in my dreams
Mixed with funk beats and my brother's screams
Could've been me lying there in that bed
But Rafa took the blade, now it's stuck in my head
Every performance now, I'm watching my back
Paranoia's got me ready for the next attack

[Bridge]
But my brother's stronger than the steel that cut him
São Paulo streets raised us, but they couldn't shut him
Now we're back together, stronger than before
Though the scars remind us what we're fighting for

[Chorus]
Sirens screaming through São Paulo's veins
(Porra!) Can't wash away these crimson stains
Every beat drop takes me back to that scene
Living with this shit got me feeling unclean
Surviving ain't living when your mind's in chains
But we keep dancing through this f*cking pain

[Outro]
Streets might break us, but they'll never kill our soul
Two brothers, one story, making music our goal
Funk still runs through these São Paulo streets
And we're still here, making history with these beats
