Eu sou o preto que voc matou
I am the black man that you killed
Eu sou o gato que voc cruzou
I am the cat that you crossed
gua passada que voc tomou
The water you drank
Eu sou a mesa que voc virou
I am the table that you turned over
Eu sou o homem que voc julgou
I am the man that you judged
Eu sou a planta que voc cortou
I am the plant that you cut
E a maconha que voc fumou
And the weed that you smoked
Eu sou o negro que voc matou
I am the black man that you killed
Bate bola entra na roda
Pass the ball, join the circle
Paga, monta e fica l fora, fora
Pay up, get on, and stay out, out
Bate balaio entra na roda
Hit the basket, join the circle
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara
Hit the basket, it's gonna hit your face
Bate bola entra na roda
Hit the ball, join the circle
Paga, monta e fica l fora, fora
Pay up, get on, and stay out, out
Bate balaio entra na roda
Hit the basket, join the circle
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara
Hit the basket, it's gonna hit your face
dana com a lua cheia
Dance with the full moon
voc j no me deve nada
You don't owe me anything anymore
dana com a lua cheia
Dance with the full moon
voc j no me deve nada...
You don't owe me anything anymore...
Eu sou a terra que voc pisou
I am the earth that you walked on
E o dinheiro que voc gastou
And the money that you spent
Eu sou o sol que voc tapou
I am the sun that you blocked
Sou a mulher que voc violou
I am the woman that you violated
Eu sou o escravo que voc amarrou
I am the slave that you tied up
O animal que voc no soltou
The animal that you didn't let go
Eu sou a luz que voc tapou
I am the light that you covered
Eu sou o negro que voc matou
I am the black person that you killed
Bate bola entra na roda
Catch the ball, come into the circle
Paga, monta e fica l fora, fora
Pay up, mount and stay outside, outside
Bate balaio entra na roda
Hit the basket, join the circle
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara
Hit the basket, you're gonna take it in the face
Bate bola entra na roda
Hit the ball, join the circle
Paga, monta e fica l fora, fora
Pay up, get on and stay outside, outside
Bate balaio entra na roda
Hit the basket, join the circle
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara
Hit the basket, you're gonna take it in the face
dana com a lua cheia
Dance with the full moon
voc j no me deve nada
You don't owe me anything anymore
dana com a lua cheia
Dance with the full moon
voc j no me deve nada...
You don't owe me anything anymore...
