Solta o Play: Redrapper - Evolve (EVO Championship Series Theme)

Você que nos acompanhou desde sexta-feira, curtiu nossa cobertura do Evo que foi embalada por 500% de emoção, rage, energia, e todo mundo vibrando em pelejas de vários jogos: a dobradinha da Echo Fox em Tekken, o tradicional reset em BlazBlue, a final com narração histórica em KOF XIV, e por aí afora. E o que dizer do torneio de Street Fighter V?

Well... Com muitos momentos marcantes, vinganças, tristezas, pois eu não sei lidar com japonês eliminando japonês, chegamos no top 8 que parecia apontar para quebra da maldição: seria o ano de um americano finalmente vencer o torneio principal de Street Fighter? Só posso dizer que o final foi tão certo quanto especial do Roberto Carlos:

🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 STAY FREE AMERICA 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 #evo2017

Por isso nós do Armadura Nerd, que somos 100% #TeamJapan, não poderíamos comemorar esse começo de semana glorioso que não fosse com "Evolve," do Redrapper. A música estreou em 2011 como tema do Evo, e vem firme e forte embalando esse torneio tão bonito, que mostra o motivo da FGC ser a melhor comunidade dos eSports, mesmo com seus defeitos.

Não deixe de conferir o ótimo artigo do Wakashimazu sobre essa final, vale a leitura.

Por aqui, vamos musicar!

Letra

[Redrapper]

BELIEVE

You can be so much MORE, so much born into so much force,

hear my roar, spread my wings till the clouds drip ink and hear my source,

hear my name, echo through the halls of the legend I transcend to pen my lore,

speak my flame, I burn louder as the crowds keep shouting and they light my sword

Hear me sing, rise me up from the dust that I struck in the winds of change,

raise my gain, up my signal till the sound peaks out when they spot my stage

Shadows of Arcadia fall and reign in mythology written into the sound I play,

Lights all fade, and I came here to fight against destiny now to test my fate,

Test my will, I came here to stand in the presence of giants, and every MYTH THEY BUILT

Time stands still, I came here Etch a moment inside history that Time can't Fill

I breathe life in a dream instilled in hearts and minds, of every hope fullfilled,

I stand on a precipice elevated in elements legendarily eminent that can't be killed,

CRACK THE FLOUR IN FOUR, shatter every wall the presidium forged into stone I know

Fight the titans with a bolt lightning that I locked inside me here I can't control,

I grew from nothing, I sparked into the stars, through an ether spilled into the soul I art,

Speak my choice, I light the fire of a brand new Era as they hear my VOICE

[Kana]

EVOLVE,

Till I'm more than what they ask of me

Till I fly in WAYS you can't BELIEVE,

THROUGH A SKY I KNOW,

ON A BLUE HORIZON IN A DREAM I HOLD

My hands keep SHAKING but my Heart keeps STRONG,

Though my legs keep ACHING, my VOICE keeps ON,

My SOUL keeps RISING as I SING MY SONG~~,

I CAN HOLD MY OWN! TILL THOSE CLOUDS MOVE ON!

[YIPES]

Back on my grind again, trying again,

practicing my craft get my timing in,

LOVE for competitions I'm admiring,

Got NOTHING TO LOSE, cause I'm TRYING TO win.

It's up to me if I want to pass it or fail

Gotta keep up so I aint last in the trail

Purpose to master whats in my class or the field,

Topics cliche, but a classic, for real,

Through the survival, third EYE OPEN my vision is vital

Still gunning for the title,

Staring at my rivals, remind em I'm here to play

nothing new here, same script different day

Time to GRIND go to war with the armor

ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE, fighting is my GENRE

I'm a MONSTER one touch and I'm ON YA

IFC Forever, Definition of Honor

[shizza]

When i say damn to apathy i massively expand my capacity and naturally begin to evolve

I thrive cause the will to strive instills energy inside me until i feel fullfilled

To survive, adapt, and never stall, resolve, that's the key to evolve, so i never settle

I just treble the level and my intensity sows, persistence and since it's propensity shows,

Every inch of me you sense, exponentially grows, till everyone eventually knows,

It's my honest wish so i promise this, that provenance'll lead to success in excess

But i stress and concede that before i achieve these goals i conceive i will need to address

And relieve the beliefs that impede and suppress so im free to proceed to exceed and progress

[Redrapper]

I CAME HERE TO YELL MY LUNGS OUT AND LIFT MY SOUND,

SHAKE THE GROUND UNTIL THEY BREAK ME DOWN,

I'm a Resiliance, DISTILLIED, into brilliance,

ECHOING THROUGH THE MILLIONS WHO SPEAK SO LOUD,

I ain't come here to run, I came here to be greatest,

SO POINT ME TOWARDS the shadow of Hades and Ima face him,

multiply my courage by a hundred and one,

if you wanna kill my hype, you better burn out the sun,

[Kana]

EVOLVE,

Till I BECOME so much MORE

Till I can FLY MY WINGS AND SOAR,

Into the CLOUDS I KNOW

ON A BLUE HORIZON IN A DREAM I HOLD

My hands keep SHAKING but my Heart keeps STRONG,

Though my legs keep ACHING, my VOICE keeps ON,

My SOUL keeps RISING as I SING MY SONG~~,

I CAN HOLD MY OWN! TILL THOSE CLOUDS MOVE ON!

[Redrapper]

If I coulda lift my wings, then Maybe I coulda grown,

lift I think, and maybe I coulda flown,

I seen the fall of grand arena's of old,

and temples of light die that we considered as homes,

If I had a little strength, still left into my bones,

I'll fly over in the temple, of light, marble, and stone,

and into the blue yonder I ponder as an unknown,

illuminate into embers and light the kingdom in GOLD,

And I'ma touch that sky with tip of my fingers,

ETCH MY SIGN AT THE EDGE OF A TWISTER,

FEEL THE DAWN WATCH OVER ME, DISTANT,

from the stage, I aint afraid, I'M READY, I'm different,

I am new age, I ain't ready to risk it,

but I am not afraid here, to show I existed,

IMA SOAR HIGHER THAN THEY EVER PREDICTED,

MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE, this is how I depict it

[Kana]

EVOLVE,

Till I BECOME so much MORE

Till I can FLY MY WINGS AND SOAR,

Into the CLOUDS I KNOW

ON A BLUE HORIZON IN A DREAM I HOLD

EVOLVE,

Till I'm more than what they ask of me

Till I fly in WAYS you can't BELIEVE,

THROUGH A SKY I KNOW,

ON A BLUE HORIZON IN A DREAM I HOLD

My hands keep SHAKING but my Heart keeps STRONG,

Though my legs keep ACHING, my VOICE keeps ON,

My SOUL keeps RISING as I SING MY SONG~~,

I CAN HOLD MY OWN! TILL THOSE CLOUDS MOVE ON!
