Bezerra da Silva
I Am Favela
In defense of all the favelas in my Brazil
Here speaks your ambassador
Yes, but the favela has never been a haven for criminals, I said
The favela has never been a haven for criminals
It only has marginalized humble people
And this truth doesn't come out in the news
The favela is a social problem
The favela is a social problem
Yes, but I am favela
And I can speak from experience
My people are hardworking
And have never had social assistance
Yes, but they only live there
Because for the poor
There is no other way
They only have the right
To a starvation wage
And a normal life
The favela is a social problem (absolutely right)
The favela is a social problem
