Entendo esse mundo complexo
Favela é a minha raiz
Sem rumo, sem tino, sem nexo
E ainda feliz
Nem sempre a maldade humana
Está em quem porta um fuzil
Tem gente de terno e gravata
Matando o Brasil
Favela, ô
Favela que me viu nascer
Eu abro o meu peito
E canto o amor por você
Favela, ô
Favela que me viu nascer
Só quem te conhece por dentro
Pode te entender
O povo que sobe a ladeira
Ajuda a fazer mutirão
Divide a sobra da feira
E reparte o pão
Como é que essa gente tão boa
É vista como marginal
Eu acho que a sociedade
Tá enxergando mal
