Gente da Gente

This samba is for the people of the people
Who live to work hard
With sun or rain or sick
They know they have to work
These people deserve a medal
Because they never run from the battle
These people of the people don't fail
Because they are not fans of scoundrels
These people are the ones who believe
Blackness is a lesson in living
Why do we need drugged youth?
Oh my God, what can I do?
These people already suffer too much
They are treated like animals
And they just want a little peace
And they need to listen to rational thoughts.
