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
