Oyá, Oyá, Oyá, Oyá, Oyá
Oyá, Oyá, Oyá
...
Coarse salt, prayers, candles, matches
In the concrete jungle, you've got to hold your own
I'm smooth and steady, the pepper burns, it's strong
It's pure street smarts, palm oil, feet-feet-feet-feet on the
Coarse salt, prayers, candles, matches
In Madureira city, you've got to show respect
I'm smooth and steady, the pepper burns, it's strong
Come without the fake act, baby, feet-feet-feet on the ground
...
The sound system knows it's pure pressure
The beat in my head makes the ground shake
There's a funk party at the sound wall
There's a charme dance at the sound wall
Kites fly high, cut right in the hand
Dona Ciça, bring more lemonade
A life lived on the boardwalk
Divine blessing of axé, yeah, yeah
...
Nobody can mess with me, you know how it is
A hustler's heart beats in the soles of the feet
My spirit is strong, I have Guinea herb
Before the first sip, I always salute Seu Zé
I lit that candle I brought from the market
I don't leave home without my protection
On party days, there's always a sound wall
Set it on fire, burn those with bad intentions
...
Greedy eyes, evil eye
Stopped at my amulet
In this sacred ritual
The body dances to cleanse itself
My grandfather taught me
...
Coarse salt, prayers, candles, matches
In the concrete jungle, you've got to hold your own
I'm smooth and steady, the pepper burns, it's strong
It's pure street smarts, palm oil, feet-feet-feet-feet on the
Coarse salt, prayers, candles, matches
In Madureira city, you've got to show respect
I'm smooth and steady, the pepper burns, it's strong
Come without the fake act, baby, feet-feet-feet on the ground
