[Intro]
Street lights flickering, favela's calling
Rich boy Leo, yeah, I've seen it all and
[Verse 1]
Rollin' through Leblon in my daddy's Benz
Behind tinted glass where my story begins
Saw my nanny crying on the concrete ground
Some fool took her bag, didn't make a sound
Privileged life, but I ain't blind to the street
Got that funk in my blood, favela heartbeat
[Chorus]
Street lights tell the truth (Porra!)
Rich or poor, we all got something to lose
Street lights tell the truth (Caralho!)
Dancing through the pain, that's what we choose
Funk don't discriminate, nah
From the hills to the gates, yeah
[Verse 2]
Mama says "stay inside, it ain't safe out there"
But these walls can't hide what's really in the air
Got designer clothes but I feel the shame
While my people struggle, shit ain't the same
From my balcony view to the streets below
There's a story that the rich don't wanna know
[Chorus]
Street lights tell the truth (Porra!)
Rich or poor, we all got something to lose
Street lights tell the truth (Caralho!)
Dancing through the pain, that's what we choose
Funk don't discriminate, nah
From the hills to the gates, yeah
[Bridge]
One city, two worlds
Same beat, different pearls
But when the funk hits (Vai!)
We all feel that shit
[Outro]
Street lights keep on shining
Through the darkness we're grinding
Rich boy learned his lesson
Now I'm done with pretending
(Funk don't lie, favela never dies)
