E faz o T, faz o T, faz o T
Faz o T, faz o T que eu quero ver
Faz o T, faz o T, solta o batidão
Eu já tô sentindo, tá chegando a hora
Novo combate tá pra começar
Índio pequeno prepara sua flecha
Grande guerreiro vai se transformar
Tribo em festa invade a floresta

Cara pintada, com flecha e cocar
Todos a postos aguardam seu líder
Nave sonora vai nos comandar
Cacique dá grito de guerra a ecoar
E faz o T, faz o T
Esse cacique é fantástico, a galera consagrou
T, faz o T, T
Tribo tá chegando do Pará, essa batida é muito show
Faz o T
Esse cacique é fantástico, a galera consagrou
E faz o T, faz o T, T
Vem lá do Pará, solta a batida que é show
Agora o guerreiro já está no comando
É imponente com o seu cocar
Força é tão grande que até a terra treme
Não tem quem enfrente o Tupinambá
Tribo em festa invade a floresta
Cara pintada, com flecha e cocar
Todos a postos aguardam seu líder
Nave sonora vai nos comandar
Cacique dá grito de guerra a ecoar
E faz o T, faz o T, T
Cacique é fantástico, a galera consagrou

E faz o T, faz o T
Vem lá do Pará, solta a batida que é show
