Despejo Na Favela
Adoniran Barbosa
Eviction in the Hood
When the process server showed up
In the hood
And against his wishes
He handed over to Narciso
A notice, an eviction order
Signed, your honor
That's what the petition said
In ten days
I want the hood empty
And all the shacks on the ground
It's a higher order
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my lord!
It's a higher order
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my lord!
It's a higher order
It's all good, your honor
It's all good
Tomorrow I’ll leave my shack
It's all good, your honor
I’ll get out of here
So I don’t hear the roar of the bulldozer
For me, it’s no problem
I can settle anywhere
I’ll make do any way I can
Later, what I have is so little
My move is so small
It fits in my back pocket
But what about those folks, huh?
What do they do?
But what about those folks, huh?
What do they do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my lord!
Those folks
What do they do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my lord!
Those folks, huh?
What do they do?
