Samba Sambei

Samba assim, samba, sambei
Mas não esqueci das palavras do rei
De onde vem e pra onde vai
A caminhança do nobre rapaz
In the ghetto, rude boy sensation
Freedom, please! a mente dos demais
"Black dandas", "ummababa azule"
Les crioles, aqui, pregando a paz
Exigir, é, direitos iguais
Orgulhar nossos ancestrais
Não baixe a guarda, a luta não acabou
Samba assim, samba, sambei
Mas não esqueci das palavras do rei
Eu vejo a mata sendo desprezada
E os cães que me protegem me guiam nessa estrada
Se tem ideia, manda uma que nutre
Pois tô cansado de tanta palhaçada
Se é pra paz, a nação já tá armada
De consciência, a alma já tá elevada
Não baixe a guarda, a luta não acabou
