Refrão
O meu espírito é a minha fortaleza
E eu não vou dar moleza
A casa traz a criançada do morro
Caixa, queimada, mocotó
Eu vou bater lata, eu vou voltar prá casa
E ainda vou aprender a tocar percussão
A luta prá vida, a vida na baixada
Tem que ficar de olho e não cair na roubada
Aparecida, vinte e cinco, chico mendes
Retrato fiel do brazil evidente
Forte como os ventos de iansã
E clara como as águas de iemanjá
Me movem, me trazem prá perto do som
Da lata, da quebrada, num ra-tá-tá-tá
Mas...
Não! é o som da violência
Sim! é o som universal
Que vem da terra do lugar de onde eu moro
Que traz na mente a mudança que eu quero
Fortaleza é o meu conhecimento
A energia iriê me mantendo em movimento
