Lyrics
Cálice
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Como ir pro trabalho sem levar um tiro
Voltar pra casa sem levar um tiro
Se as três da matina tem alguém que frita
E é capaz de tudo pra manter sua brisa
Os saraus tiveram que invadir os botecos
Pois biblioteca não era lugar de poesia
Biblioteca tinha que ter silêncio
E uma gente que se acha assim muito sabida
Há preconceito com o nordestino
Há preconceito com o homem negro
Há preconceito com o analfabeto
Mas não há preconceito se um dos três for rico, pai
A ditadura segue meu amigo Milton
A repressão segue meu amigo Chico
Me chamam Criolo e o meu berço é o rap
Mas não existe fronteira pra minha poesia, pai
Afasta de mim a biqueira, pai
Afasta de mim as biate, pai
Afasta de mim a coqueine, pai
Pois na quebrada escorre sangue, pai
Pai
Afasta de mim a biqueira, pai
Afasta de mim as biate, pai
Afasta de mim a coqueine, pai
Pois na quebrada escorre sangue
