Cria de Favela
Criolo
Child of the Hood
Oh laraie
I was listening to Fela
From the mouth of my window
Plum juice
Won't go sour
Kid from the block
Who was hustling hard
When he hears reggae and Bob
The block won't come back
Oh laraie
Kid, you can't go back
'Cause the block ain't your place
Who’s gonna profit from this mess
Is the high rollers in the office
Snitching for rewards, power plays
And if I hit the street, they try to hold me down
Mozinho's far away
I keep on suffering
Raised in the hood, better not mess with me
Oh laraie
Kid, you can't go back
'Cause the block ain't your place
Who’s gonna profit from this mess
Is the high rollers in the office
Snitching for rewards, power plays
And if I hit the street, they try to hold me down
Mozinho's far away
I keep on suffering
I’ll retire only after I’m dead
Oh laraie
