Na Escola

For so long we've been here on this Brazilian land
Walking with longing exclusivity is freedom
We came in the fury of the sea, we live in the fury of command
A shiny man ordered to burn all our history
And there at school they teach us to be ashamed
We have our own way, we have our own scent
Our hair is tough, we don't know prejudice
We are free and we want to be like this
Always free, we wish to be like this
Playing capoeira, I am the voice of resistance
I am the reggae mass, firm true mass
We are from Africa, the people of Africa
We came in the fury of the sea, we live in the fury of command
Dr. So-and-so ordered to burn all our history
And there at the white school, shame again
But the color doesn't deny, the color is strong, the color of the earth
And yes, still denying the blood is alive, the blood surrenders
And there at the white school, shame again
But the color doesn't deny, the color is strong, the color of the earth
And yes, still denying the blood is alive, the blood surrenders
