Margem Sul State Of Mind

I'm here in Almada
Or here in Fogueteiro
Seixal is right there, I'm a traffic cop
Over there is Barreiro
Montijo and Alcochete, where Freeport is
It's a pain in the ass
Props to the people who live on this bank
Who spend 1.30€ when passing the toll
Every time I pass here, I tremble like jelly
The first time I was robbed was on this corner
The second on this street and the third was here
The fourth was just now while I'm in this garden

I pause in my mom's Octavia
I hear: Crazy dude
I reply: I'm good!
I'm a polyglot, strong in languages
I speak Portuguese with a PALOP accent
I speak Brazilian from Costa d'Caparica
And Creole while eating a rich cachupa

South Bank
Place where dreams are made, because you only sleep here
You're on the South Bank
Come walk in the asphalt jungle and suffer a robbery
Welcome to the South Bank

I know how to dance kizomba, learned from the neighbor
Her brother didn't like it, almost broke my spine
When I come back from the club, at seven in the morning
I see the bus stops full of people in a line
South bank is graffiti
On walls and fences
Entering a store, listening to hip-hop and kuduro
It's seeing cops and robbers playing tag
Sometimes having to file a complaint at the station
It was here that I got a beating
Mistook me for a guy who came out of prison!
Here I played soccer, during the day and outdoors
Now the square is a parking lot
The first time I went to the movies, it was here
I saw NeverEnding Story and Karate Kid!
(Wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off)

South Bank
Place where dreams are made, because you only sleep here
You're on the South Bank
Come walk in the asphalt jungle and suffer a robbery
Welcome to the South Bank

Here it's all good, we only have two hospitals
And purchasing power, new shopping centers
To buy DVDs or that bike
First necessity goods
Like a Nike hat
Look over there, a wedding, only expensive clothes
Men in H&M suits, ladies wear Zara!
South Bank in culture, don't know if you know
It's Rute Marlene, Os Anjos, Soraia Chaves
On the grass I have picnics and also do handstands
This is not a desert, fuck fuck fuck Mario Lino!
We have a lot of green, but here it's all reds
The Avante party is here every year!
Speaking of colors, there are also yellows
The Chinese store where I bought caramels

Now it's the Chinese store?!
Tim!
I wanted caramels please!
Don't have
What?!
Don't have

South Bank
Place where dreams are made, because you only sleep here
You're on the South Bank
Come walk in the asphalt jungle and suffer a robbery
Welcome to the South Bank

If you need emotional support
Cross the bridge and go to the Christ in Pragal
Built in Salazar's time
Has arms wide open to shout
Hey-Yee Hey-Yee, Hey-Yee Hey-Yee

South Bank
Place where dreams are made, because you only sleep here
You're on the South Bank
Come walk in the asphalt jungle and suffer a robbery
Welcome to the South Bank
