Old Monkey
Garagem M5
I've seen trends rise and fade away
Pretty talkers with nothing to say
Got fancy papers hanging on the wall
But when things go wrong, they freeze and stall
They show up with plans, swear they're the cure
Never worked long nights, never got dirt on their shirt
I sit back quiet, scratching my chin
Already know how this story ends
They tried to teach me
How this whole thing goes
With slides, coffee, and endless talk
But real life always knows
Hell, I'll do it myself!
Waited too long on people who never deliver
Old monkeys don't fall for traps
I learned the hard way, down to the bitter
Hell, move aside, I got this
It ain't rush, it's an old habit
While you're still talking through every step
I've already fixed the damn thing
I've heard: Relax, trust me, give it time
From people who never stayed late fixing a line
Some just bark orders all day long
Some do the work and quietly move on
I ain't in a hurry to look modern
And I got no time for internet prophets
If something squeaks, cracks, or falls apart
I know exactly where to turn the bolt
I've seen miracles advertised
Never seen miracles work
That's why when things go quiet
I know it's time to move first
Hell, I'll do it myself!
I'm tired of advice that can't carry the weight
Old monkeys learn with bruised hands
Not from pretty words or manuals full of mistakes
Hell, it ain't disrespect
It's just too much experience
While you're busy debating solutions
I fix it through pure persistence
I don't claim to know it all
I just know failure face to face
And people who spent their whole damn lives messing up
Learn how to stand in the worst place
I've paid to see, paid to learn
Paid too much to depend
On people who promise without breaking a sweat
While I'm already making things happen
Hell, I'll do it myself!
It ain't pride, it's survival
Old monkeys follow the road
Life carved out without approval
Hell, later you can write it down
Pretend you knew it from the start
But right now, excuse me
While you talk, I finish the whole damn job
