(What’s up, DJ TC?)

(Let’s go, let’s go!)

(It’s Japa NK, right, babe? King of this)

(It’s Japa NK, got it, love?)

Yeah, I’ll drop this one

’Cause she said she wanted to show up at the Baile do Panta

Couldn’t resist, had to speak up

I’ll drop it, I’ll drop it, gotta drop this track

She wants the Squad, I know she wants the Squad

Little dude, she wants the Squad

Hey girl! Hey girl!

Come through to the Baile do Panta

Come to my favela, you’ll find hope here, yeah

But don’t get fooled

But don’t get fooled

The guys here play dirty

Hit it and quit it, won’t claim you

Hopped on the back of the Drake, popped a wheelie on the Bajaj 400

Took a ride around the hood and met Tel Lapena

Hopped on the back of the Drake, popped a wheelie on the Bajaj 400

Took a ride around the hood and met Tel Lapena

Hopped on the back of the Drake, popped a wheelie on the Bajaj 400

Took a ride around the hood and met Tel Lapena

Hopped on the back of the Drake, popped a wheelie on the Bajaj 400

Took a ride around the hood and met Tel Lapena

Yeah, the Drake guys are tough, right?

Yeah, the Drake guys are tough

Took a risk, got some action, then dipped out

Left her friend behind and hopped on the XRE

Think we’re fools?

Think we’re dumb?

Tryna charge for the job, damn it

Tryna charge for the job, damn it

Think we’re fools?

Think we’re dumb?

Tryna charge for the job, damn it

Tryna charge for the job, damn it

Straight talk, my dude

I’m fed up with these girls, bro

When they don’t wanna charge, they show up at my crib on their period

Ah, bring that weak talk? Get outta here, man

[Portuguese]

(E aí, DJ TC?)

(Mete marcha, mete marcha)

(É o Japa NK né, bebê? Rei dela)

(É o Japa NK, tá, vida?)

É, essa daqui eu só vou lançar

Porque ela falou assim, que queria brotar no Baile do Panta

Aí não tive como, tive que falar

Vou lançar, vou lançar, vou ter que lançar essa

Ela quer a Tropa, eu sei que ela quer a Tropa

Neguinho, ela quer a Tropa

Ô Novinha! Ô Novinha!

Brota no Baile do Panta

Vem pra Minha Favela Que cê cria Esperança, é

Mas não se ilude

Mas não se ilude

Que aqui os Muleque é Ruim

Te taca a pic* e não te assume

Montou na Garupa dos Drake, empinou na Bajaj Quatrocentas

Deu uma volta pela Quebrada e conheceu a Tel Lapena

Montou na Garupa dos Drake, empinou na Bajaj Quatrocentas

Deu uma volta pela Quebrada e conheceu a Tel Lapena

Montou na Garupa dos Drake, empinou na Bajaj Quatrocentas

Deu uma volta pela Quebrada e conheceu a Tel Lapena

Montou na Garupa dos Drake, empinou na Bajaj Quatrocentas

Deu uma volta pela Quebrada e conheceu a Tel Lapena

É, os Drake é Ruim, né?

É, os Drake é Ruim

Se Aventurou, Sentou na Pic* E Depois Foi Meteu o Pé

Abandonou Sua Amiga e Montou na XRE

Tá Pensando que Nóis é Besta?

Tá Pensando que Nóis é Otário?

Quer cobrar Job, o c4r4io

Quer cobrar Job, o c4r4io

Tá Pensando que Nóis é Besta?

Tá Pensando que Nóis é Otário?

Quer cobrar Job, o c4r4io

Quer cobrar Job, o c4r4io

Aí, neguinho, papo reto

Eu tô é cheio de ódio dessas mina, irmão

Quando não quer cobrar, chega no barraco, tá menstruada

Ah, quer vir com esses papo furado, vai pra lá, mermão
