Não era preto
Mas invisível na noite
Não era lento
Mas no tempo certo
Mancava do esquerdo
Manjava do esquema
Marcava na esquina a reunião da favela
Só falava nela
Só falava nela
Malandro deu mole dão suga
Bobeou virou pandeiro
É o lema do gueto
Poesia da favela
Só falava nela
Só falava nela
A história tinha tudo pra dar drama
Mas o cara transformou ela em samba
Mesmo tudo se manteve certo e do rodo da vida se fez enredo
Não era preto
Mas invisível na noite
Não era preto
pre...pre...previsível
Não morava no morro
nem morar morava
A vida custa dois por um
Cada um por si
É Deus por um
E cada um por si
