[Intro: Baco Exu do Blues & Dona Edite do Coco]
In the past there was no forró, there was no sound for people to dance
'Cause n-, today everything is sound now, it used to be just zabumba, pife
The other tradition that used to happen was concertina at weddings
What? Guitars, viola players, that's what existed
Ayy-ayy
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy
Affectionate Faction (Ayy-ayy)

[Chorus]
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
Free men, men and women
Free men, men and women

[Verse 1: Baco Exu do Blues, Xarope MC & both]
I carry Ere's courage with me
I carry Ere's courage with me
I carry Ere's courage with me
I carry Ere's courage with me
I carry courage, money and bullets with me
Pedro Bala's words, Pedro Bala's words
I carry courage, money and bullets with me
Pedro Bala's words, Pedro Bala's words
I carry courage, money and bullets with me
Pedro Bala's words, Pedro Bala's words
I carry courage, money and bullets with me
Money and bullets
Macu-Macu-Macu-Macu-Macunaíma, ayy
Macu-Macu-Macu-Macu-Macunaíma, yeah
I saw the buildings going up, the forest ending
I took it and scratched the sky, I took it and scratched the sky
I saw my race disappearing, you guys killing us
I took it and took them all to heaven, I took it and took them all to heaven
[Chorus]
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
Free men, men and women
Free men, men and women
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
Free

[Verse 2]
The voices of drunks, laughters, screams
Bottles breaking, the drugs, the conflicts
City lights, drumming, shooting
Moans, fight is such a beautiful chaos
The voices of drunks, laughters, screams
Bottles breaking, the drugs, the conflicts
City lights, drumming, shooting
Moans, fight, it's such a beautiful chaos
I'm toasting and watching
A xenophobic homophobe getting beaten up by a northeastern gay
I'm laughing
Seeing a single mother beating up the policeman who killed her son
I look in the mirror, I see chaos smiling
Karma smiling
I was born the day they saw the rage giving birth
I was born the day they saw the rage giving birth, ah
Where good citizens burn terreiros
And beat women, hate blacks
Hate the ghetto, kill for money
I'm chaos, I'm villain
Where good citizens burn terreiros
And beat women, hate blacks
Hate the ghetto, kill for money
I'm chaos, I'm villain
[Outro]
We are free men and women
We are free men and women
