[Intro]
Sirens wailing, bodies on the floor
Another night that turned to war
Funk beat dropping, then we hear the screams
Life ain't always what it seems
[Verse 1]
Started as a battle, moves were tight
Crowd going wild on a São Paulo night
Rafael hit that flow, making history
Then I saw the blade, no mystery
Blood on concrete, time stood still
From dance floor hero to fighting just to live
Had to make a choice in a split second flat
Either watch him fall or fight back
[Chorus]
(Life on the edge) We dance with death
(Every step) Could be our last breath
From breakin' to breaking down
Welcome to my side of town
Where the beat drops and bodies too
Gotta survive, that's what we do
[Verse 2]
F*ck these streets that taught us pain
One minute dancing, next you're calling names
Hospital monitors beeping in my head
Almost lost my brother, almost saw him dead
Streets ain't no joke, favela's got no mercy
Quick moves save lives, gotta stay thirsty
From cinco minutos of fame to trauma
Real life drama, no panorama
[Bridge]
Remember them moves, remember that night
Remember the blood, remember the fight
Now every battle feels like Russian roulette
Dancing with shadows we trying to forget
[Chorus]
(Life on the edge) We dance with death
(Every step) Could be our last breath
From breakin' to breaking down
Welcome to my side of town
Where the beat drops and bodies too
Gotta survive, that's what we do
[Outro]
Still hit the streets, still move our feet
But every battle's bittersweet
Rafael survived, we still alive
But part of us died that night
(Monitor beeping fades out...)
