Streets of sulukule

Are down down down

Urban progress bullies

Try to steal its crown

Till first note a-ripples

And street beats errupts

Now you see who’s heart and soul

Is bankrupt

Not these smiles not these eyes

Tired of truth they’re tired of lies

Do you believe by the sword all die

When mahalados are just trying to get by

Educate thy neighboor

Educate my friend thy neighboor ey

Educate thy neighboor

Educate my friend they neighboor ei ei ei

Educate thy neighbor

Bout the urban plot

To pave over culture

For new parking lot

Educate thy neighboor

Bout attrocity

They buldoze as if you can buy

Thousand years of history

Not these smiles not these eyes

Tired of truth they’re tired of lies

Do you believe by the sword all die

When favelados are just trying to get by

Educate thy neighboor

Educate my friend thy neighboor ey

Educate thy neighboor

Educate my friend they neighboor ei ei ei

Diaspora rockers

Vamos a matar

Vamos a matar

Policia militar

So be it over glass of porto

Or a hookah on roof top

Educate my friend thy neighborr

Deliver to him/her whats up

Be it over game of poker

Or after sex cigarette

Word of mouth eductainment

Beats tv and internet

My beat is // beat of the barrios

My beat is // beat of the sowetto

My beat is // of the sulukule

My beat is // of any ghetto

Do you believe by the sword all die

When favelados are just trying to get by

Chorus

Educate thy neighboor (ah ah ha)

Educate my friend thy neighboor ey

Educate thy neighboor (ah ah ah)

Educate my friend they neighboor ei ei ei
