Lado B Lado A

If they are Exu, then I am Iemanjá
If they kill the animal, I'll take a dip in the sea
With my body protected, no one will catch me
Side A side B, side B side A

In the ABCs of the hot plate, I'm more like Jorge Ben
Playing really loud on my Walkman
Looking forward to next year's carnival
I don't know if this year will be bad or good

If it's going to be for the good of us
Good, good
If it's going to be for the good of us
If it's going to be for the good of us
Good, good, good

What protects you is the law of men
What protects me is the law of God
I won't abandon Black mythology to say
I don't look like you, eh?

There's a dispatch on the corner for the future
With offerings stamped every day
And I will arrive, ask, and give thanks
For a man's victory is sometimes hidden
In a powerful gesture that only he can see

I am a warrior, I am a worker
And every day, every day I will face it
With faith in God and in my battle
I hope I'll be far away when the road sweeper comes through
I hope I'll be far away when all this is over

I am a warrior, I am a worker
And every day, every day I will face it
With faith in God and in my battle
I hope I'll be far away when the road sweeper comes through
I hope I'll be far away when all this is over

If they are Exu, then I am Iemanjá
If they kill the animal, I'll take a dip in the sea
With my body protected, no one will catch me
Side A side B, side B side A

In the ABCs of the hot plate, I'm more like Jorge Ben
Playing really loud on my Walkman
Looking forward to next year's carnival
I don't know if this year will be bad or good

If it's going to be for the good of us
Good, good
If it's going to be for the good of us
If it's going to be for the good of us
Good, good, good

For a man's victory is sometimes hidden
In a powerful gesture that only he can see

I am a warrior, I am a worker
And every day, every day I will face it
With faith in God and in the battle, yeah
I hope I'll be far away when the road sweeper comes through
I hope I'll be far away when the road sweeper comes through

I am a warrior, a ninja warrior, I will face it
With faith in God, with faith in God, I will face it
With faith in God and in my battle
I hope I'll be far away when the road sweeper comes through
I hope I'll be far away when all this is over

I am a warrior, I am a worker
And every day, every day I will face it
With faith in God, God, God, God, and in battle
I hope I'll be far away
