Just like Elis Regina once said, "A perfection is the shit defended by the goalkeeper of the national team" ... Unfortunately since we don't have it all granted like they do, we worked hard by doing our part in representing Brazil with dignity through our music. Hope you enjoy it the same way we did making it. Peace - Mental Abstrato @São Paulo
for free, for free, free, for free
everything that I do for free,
when I kick a rhyme style vicious, no fee
i know it comes back to the entity,
and on the one it goes,
for free, free, for free, for free
play the game of life, no referee
from the sea breeze down to the air we breathe
the best stuff in life, you can get it for free
my time is money, how can I work for free?
but if time were free, how can you work for a pay, ok?
feeling my way on the information high…
hi, saving a whale, free willing the day
how you doing today, a driver or a valet
flying low on the balance can put you on a fray
say, something positive, don’t be afraid
I mean if all else fails you can always pray
just kidding, panoramic vision on the field,
get a couple of touches and now you have a feel,
build your own routine and drill
you need to be seen in the scene, to seal the deal
my name on your tongue, stan smith
if like my chances I don’t even consider it a gamble
stop now my life will be in shambles
so I gotta lead by example
(chorus)
now you don’t need to pay someone to get a hug
and you don’t need to threaten somebody for love,
just let it be known what you intend to do,
in this world, in the universe, you know who
the man or the lady in charge, up in the place
we got our own speakers pumping the bass
or speaking our minds on the stage to bless
the people in attendance en masse
select the best track to get you in the mood, spiritual food
if the temperature rises, jump in the pool
or better yet, have a race to the ocean and chill
get together do the pot luck and grill
it’s real, not the superficial supermodel type hits
taking it back and do it like this
living close to the threshold of stress
yes, float like a debris, singing we be free
for free, for free, free, for free
everything that I do for free,
when I kick a rhyme style vicious, no fee
i know it comes back to the entity
and on the one it goes,
for free, free, for free, for free
play the game of life, no referee
from the sea breeze down to the air we breathe
the best kind of love, you can make for free

The essence of contemporary afro jazz and hip hop are in perfect harmony with the rarities of Brazilian music within this
project, from São Paulo / Brazil. Formed by producer Omig One, Calmão Tranquis and Guimas Santos, Mental Abstrato released their first album, "Pure Essence" in 2010 in Japan with great international.
These are the London prodigy boys. Urban Jazz geniuses know how to master hip-hop, contemporary jazz and neo-soul. We will still see them flying very high around the world. Mental Abstrato
The beautiful artwork already suggestive for the audition. As beautiful and hypnotizing as the wonderful voice and arrangements that touch the soul. Mental Abstrato
