Sou erva daninha
Velha praga que o progresso quis vacinar
Parasita, piolho da terra
Barba rala, moitado a cismar
Existe tanta rasteira
Desprezo, rolo compressor
Anti-heroi, tribal e selvagem
Finco as unhas no interior
Não desencano de meu sonho
Da minha terra eu não arredo o pé
E´ razão da raça rustica
Meus fios de bigode não são de um qualquer
Nhô chico falou, nhô chico lhe disse
Que gente do mato não é sapato
No rumo que tem valia
Sou carcamano mestiço, mulato
Não tenho modos
Mas tenho modas
Tenho a viola aqui dessa magoa
Não tenho modos
Mas tenho modas
Minha viola é minha espada
Não tenho modos
Mas tenho modas
Minha viola aqui dessa magoa
Minha viola é minha espada
E quem achar que tá errado
Se tiver incomodado
Que vá pras terras estrangeiras
Vá pra lua
Vá pro inferno
Mas deixa o caboclo em paz
