This story begins more or less like this:

What block is this? I want to know.
It's the black world that we've come to show you (to you).
What block is this? I want to know.
It's the black world that we've come to show you (to you).

We're crazy Creole, we're pretty cool.
We have tough hair, we're black power.
We're crazy Creole, we're pretty cool.
We have tough hair, we're black power.

What block is this? I want to know.
It's the black world that we've come to show you (to you).
What block is this? I want to know.
It's the black world that we've come to show you (to you).

White, if you knew the value that black people have.
You would take a tar bath, white, and you would turn black too.
And I won't teach you my trickery.
Nor my philosophy, why?
Because the one who gives light to the blind is a white cane in Santa Luzia.

My God

What block is this? I want to know.
It's the black world that we've come to show you (to you).
What block is this? I want to know.
It's the black world that we've come to show you (to you).

Go!

Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
