Pelas capitais os filhos da preta
Pediram paz
União e razão social,
Muitas vezes nos falta moral na nação Africa-Brasil
O menino descalço com a bola de meia
Aprende a jogar futebol e capoeira
Começa a sonhar vai lutar e não roubar
Ele tem o samba no pé
E o reggae na cabeça
A benção no coração
Sua mãe dona Maria
Trabalhava todo dia prá trazer o pão
Mas é a rainha do Carnaval meu irmão
Do Carnaval
É um poeta que sabe a favela é o seu lar
E o motivo prá cantar e esquecer seu drama
Enxergar suas riquezas e viver para ganhar
Um poeta da favela
Que faz da canção a poesia
E o Candomblé sua magia
