Lot's od heat, sex, poverty and beasts
Science says it's where the first man was found on earth
Men say "it's where the third word is"
B is for
BEING white, the mulungo, boss, God of the Africans
Who is always right, because to err is human
He's got Jesus' hair and the dollar bill's face
He's always on the other side of the begging black hand
C is for the
CURVE of happiness which is owned by the boss
Or the curve of his belly that is bigger than his erect penis

He doesn't accept the contrary, and won't be contradicted
D is for the

The more money they have, the more important their names

And for those who don't speak it, the others don't understand

He's the last one to arrive, and the first to be served
He's the one that arrives a brick layer and leaves as a foreman
F is for
FAKE witchcraft, the poor men's sickness
Africans and Latinos with envy in their eyes
It is the explanation for losses and deaths
And also the explanation for the wealth of the strong
G is for the
GOVERNMENT, which is always guilty when it is the people that judge
But the people have a short memory and sentence is never carried out
The government is the party with the absolute majority
It is a naturally corrupt institution

God's stepson and the legitimate son of evil
The shame of his parents, and the family in general

that only when abused, it is said that it was well lived
Romance, TV, parties and drinks
are offered to the youth, then they are called lost

LICENSED, graduated, in other words, Doutor
More than just a degree, it means a higher income
It means looking at tradition as ridiculous
something that does not fit in to the modern ways of life

If it's a man he is a thief, if it's a woman she is a gold digger
He can even be Dos Santos like Marcelino
And he will still pay for the sins of not being truly black
N is for
NEGRO, or if you prefer nigger
If the victim is the predicate, black is the subject
For as much talent he has for music and sports
He has for show and envy of others
O is for
ORGANIZATIONS with such good intentions like the NGOs
This must be hell, for there to be so many of these organizations
They offer great conditions and pay in dollar
They hand out crumbs to appease our begging

Nigger is a politician, liar, and son of a war
For 37 years he gets richer at our expense

QUALITY of marriage, cause a motel room is now a hotel room
A discreet place you pay to be unfaithful
And you don't need to hide the ring
who claims to have seen you there, had a taste from the same honey

R is for
RELIGION, which is the weed of people
the smoke that makes us believe again
in the old promise of a better life
when we give the priest the fruits of our labour
S is for
SYNDROMES such as the ungrateful AIDS
He was a hungry worm and now it's the worm that eats him within
Treated like dirt until he turns into dirt
And more than the sickness that's what consumes him inside
T is for
TRADITION, that is for suburban people
But when desperate we all run to the hut
Tradition, that is for the uneducated
But if ceremony is needed we are left without a choice
U is for the
USA, or if you prefer, United States of America
If you made it there, you can't get any better
The Super Power that controls the world
Even Bashir got into shit when someone ratted on him
V is for
VALUE that many mistake with price
People with value don't sell themselves for anything
That does not stop me from asking for what I'm worth
Because the bread to feed my daughters has a price
W!
WORLD WIDE WEB, in other words, Internet
A web of pornography and piracy that mirrors
The businesses that will never go bankrupt:
Drugs, Sex and Violence
X is for
XENOPHOBIA, that is popular justice
When the price of bread goes up we all must pay
Usually it's a brother of the same color
that pays for our desperation with sweat and blood
Z is for
ZIMBABWE, yesteryear's Africa's old barn
Today the capital of inflation and tragic governance
that has already killed innocent thousands
Condemned for protesting against their leaders
