Quando É Pra Trabalhar Nego Pode
João Grilo (Capoeira)
When It's Time to Work, Man Can
When it's time to work, man can
When it's time to suffer, man can
When it's time to win, man can't
When it's time to succeed, man can't
Maria, where's my time card?
For this man to work
It's the man of the master
It's the man of the mistress
Maria, where's my time card?
For this man to work
It's the man of the master
It's the man of the mistress
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man, my master
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man, my master
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Man wants to clock in
So the work can end
But the black man has no rights
To work until he gets hit
When he gets tired, the master hits
When he stops, the master kicks
This is slave labor
Forced by brute strength
Maria, where's my time card?
For this man to work
It's the man of the master
It's the man of the mistress
Maria, where's my time card?
For this man to work
It's the man of the master
It's the man of the mistress
The boss is the little master
The mistress is the lady
To this day, exploitation
Keeps rolling on
But there's a difference
For the slave today
On the farm, it was punishment
And today it's just clocking in
Maria, where's my time card?
For this man to work
It's the man of the master
It's the man of the mistress
Maria, where's my time card?
For this man to work
It's the man of the master
It's the man of the mistress
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man, my master
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man, my master
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man, my master
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man (look at the man)
Look at the man, my master
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Look over there, the man (man, mistress)
Look over there, the man, man, mistress
Man, mistress
Man, mistress
