19 Rebellions Lyrics by Asian Dub Foundation

Enemy of the Enemy (Remastered)

2003

[Intro]
"Na casa de detenção, o rastro de sangue aumentava o receio
Principalmente das famílias dos presos, de que ocorresse uma invasão violenta. Em outubro de 92, 340 homens da tropa de choque da Polícia Militar de São Paulo invadiram o pavilhão 9 da casa de detenção. Eles tentavam controlar uma rebelião que começou depois de uma briga entre chefes de quadrilhas rivais. 111 presos foram executados. As imagens do massacre foram vistas em todo o mundo."
"Naquela ocasião, 111 presos foram executados. A rebelião de hoje atingiu 17 presídios em todo o estado."
[Verse 1: Edi Rock]
Quem é comigo, na fé bandido
O preto sempre tem na frente o inimigo
A polícia racista, mais do que ninguém
A favela um inferno, oh Jerusalém
Lamenta, aguenta, enfrenta a batalha
Violenta é a vida no fio da navalha
A falha, a brecha sempre existiu
Em todo o poder, em todo o Brasil
Não sei como expressar, não sei como falar
O ódio entalado te faz engatilhar
E mirar na cabeça de quem sempre te roubou
Sempre te humilhou, o filho do doutor
Só se for meu modo, meu ponto de vista
Não quero nada teu, só peço a justiça
Se quiser me encontrar, pode se preparar, pode se preparar
[Chorus]
Ei! Bom p'a caralho
Ei! Bom p'a caralho
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
It's really significant that people inside Brazilian prisons
Who live in horrific overcrowded conditions
Were able to organize massive simultaneous rebellions
In 19 different prisons
In 1992, 111 inmates were massacred by the Brazilian police
During a rebellion attempt
9 years later, no one as yet be held responsible for those deaths
These new rebellions in 2001, clearly demonstrate the weakness of the state
And the power people have when they organize
Now we wait for the inmates and other Brazilians
To further direct this power to raise radical social change
[Chorus]
Ei! Bom p'a caralho
Ei!
Ei! Bom p'a caralho
Ei! Bom p'a caralho
[Outro: Edi Rock]
Aí, se a gente for ver o poder que a gente tem na mão
É igual ao dos detentos de São Paulo que mostraram a fraqueza do Estado
Basta agora querer usar este poder aqui fora através de uma ação social radical organizada
Organizada, organizada, organizada, organizada
Organizada
Organizada
Organizada
Organizada
Organizada
