Eu tenho o prazer de dizer que tou ahhh Aqui agora para cantar para você, para balançar Se voce quiser, pode chegar, pode dancar Ohhhhhhhh [Talib Kweli] sponsored links Last night I had a dream that was so real I woke up in a cold sweat, it felt so ill I stared into the face of an angel tainted by the city, you ain't from this place it'll change you Walkin by, I thought I was sly Offered to try, at first I thought she was shy 'Til I saw this guy at the bar talkin to her reckless She ignored him, cast a glance in my direction, started dancin to my section ... Her body flyer than a jet pilot What a smile and the eyes like wet violets They flutter by like the wings of the bu*terfly Keep it tight, Eva Mendes in "The Other Guys" Got me in another zone - they call her Sunshine like "Put your mother on the phone, I ain't comin home" Put a deposit on a place in her heart All along she a place from the start My favela love, man I fell in love, man I fell in love Man I fell in love, man I fell in love Man I, man I fell in love Man I, man I, uh [Chorus: Seu Jorge] Ehhhh, a gente e' desse jeito mesmo e' diferente Ehhhh, e' brasileiro e' swingueiro, é coracoa Ehhhh, a gente e' que bota fe' na vida pode cre 'tamo ai' para viver para encarar (Ehhh) A vida pro que der e vier E' nois que ta' na fita agora pode cre Brasil crescendo a gente ta' aí para aparecer Se voce quiser colar com a gente, n?o tem nada n?o A gente vai correndo junto nessa mesma uni?o Brasil o povo de mistura raca pe' no ch?o Objectividade na vontade de crescer [Talib Kweli] A feeling of panic engulfin the whole planet Yet my words are slow dancin, my language is romantic Vocabulary that's bustin your capillaries My freedom'll taste sweeter than juices of blacker berries My adversaries speak ill of my name, I'm so sick Attack is very guerilla, my game is so pimp Everything fall into place, it's gravitational Profit stay in the black, the shade is so un-fadeable Healthy relationship make your other ones better I'm Lee Scratch Perry, they call me the upsetter For the cheddar get the bread up Mr. International call it the bruschetta, the spiritual newsletter I wish you knew the arc of the story and knew your part You're lookin into my heart or just lookin to be a part From a boss in my prime, look how we crossin the finish line How you tired, I stay wired like I was offered a line [Chorus] [Talib Kweli] Uh, uh I don't wanna bang it or beat it, hit it or stab it You're listenin to voodoo, I call it the black magic You jammin up the traffic, you bubble, it don't stop It might blow up but it won't go pop "Pow!" That's the sound like onomatopoeia Got me floatin when you (Rockin My Boat) like you Aaliyah Got them African features like people out in Bahia Mix tobacco with the reefer like you was a European When I leave I'm gonna miss you, (Official) like Kardinal Trust I'll come back and I'll visit for carni-val When I come back around, take me out on the town And you can show me how you put it down My favela love, man I fell in love, man I fell in love Man I fell in love, man I fell in love Man I, man I fell in love Man I, yea, yea yea... [Chorus - latter half]
