Convoque Seu Buda

Criolo Criolo

Summon Your Buddha

Summon your Buddha!
The vibe is tense
They sent word they're gonna torch the downtown
As the saying goes, haste makes waste
This ain't GTA, it's worse, it's Grajaú

No pedigree, totally wild
Xangô's axe to make your tears honored
With a UZI in hand, a soldier from the favela
Soulless, unforgiving
No peace, no dread

Rotten city, loneliness is a poison
The underworld wants more Chandon, junk heroes downtown
In the leaf tribe, the favela is developing
In secret Jutsu, Naruto is just a drawing
Some guys show up hoping to pick up girls
Some girls show up and bother activists
Changing the world from the living room sofa, posting on Insta
And if the weed's good, fuck ideology

Nin Jitsu, Oxalá, capoeira, jiu jitsu
Shiva, Ganesha, Zé Pilintra, give balance
To the worker chasing bread
It's too much humiliation for this refrain

Nin Jitsu, Oxalá, capoeira, jiu jitsu
Shiva, Ganesha, Zé Pilintra, give balance
To the worker chasing bread
It's too much humiliation for this refrain

And if you don't resist and vacate
Hand it all over to him then, what will be?
And if you don't resist and vacate
Hand it all over to him then, what will be?

Dreams corroding, crumbs are
What do you mean stray bullet? The body fell to the ground!
One puff to death, cirrhosis from depression
If thought is born free here, it's not

No Catholic guilt, no wind energy
Death tears the veil, bitterness comes in rhetoric
Depression is the plague among my people
A perfect plan to sell more of your cars
The beauty of a people, the favela won't succumb
My African side, to blossom, to redeem myself
The angel of evil tempts the little boy
Every night someone dies
Black or poor around here

Nin Jitsu, Oxalá, capoeira, jiu jitsu
Shiva, Ganesha, Zé Pilintra, give balance
To the worker chasing bread
It's too much humiliation for this refrain

Nin Jitsu, Oxalá, capoeira, jiu jitsu
Shiva, Ganesha, Zé Pilintra, give balance
To the worker chasing bread
It's too much humiliation for this refrain

And if you don't resist and vacate
Hand it all over to him then, what will be?
And if you don't resist and vacate
Hand it all over to him then, what will be?
