As I look into my life As I look into my life Ao olhar para a minha vida Searching for that paradise Searching for that paradise Procurando por aquele paraíso Oh Lord will you help me, find me Oh Lord will you help me, find me Oh Senhor vai me ajudar, me encontrar Take this crazy ghetto past of mine Take this crazy ghetto past of mine Tome este passado gueto louco da minha And put it all behind me And put it all behind me E colocar tudo isso atrás de mim Look down on the ghetto man Look down on the ghetto man Olhe para baixo sobre o homem do gueto And change his mission And change his mission E mudar sua missão And put it in the hearts And put it in the hearts E colocá-la no coração Of many to stop confusion Of many to stop confusion De muitos para parar a confusão Chorus Chorus Coro My sistas, brothas My sistas, brothas Meu sistas, brothas Let's put these hands together Let's put these hands together Vamos colocar essas mãos We need to stop chokin' on the truth We need to stop chokin' on the truth Precisamos parar de choque de verdade And start smokin' on a plan man And start smokin' on a plan man E o homem começar a fumar "em um plano Love and respect that woman Love and respect that woman Amor e respeito que a mulher And bring her happiness And bring her happiness E trazer a felicidade I'm talkin' to the ghetto I'm talkin' to the ghetto Eu estou falando para o gueto For each other we should help For each other we should help Para cada um dos outros que devemos ajudar While our babies are dying in the street While our babies are dying in the street Enquanto nossos bebês estão morrendo nas ruas We've got to be saying to ourselves We've got to be saying to ourselves Temos que dizer a nós mesmos
