Sheik Tosado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
É o pandeiro envenenado
É o som da nova banda
Esse é o Sheik Tosado
Misturando samba, funk
Punk rock, hardcore
Capoeira da pesada
Sheik Tosado tá na área
Chegou para arrepiar
Com a cultura nordestina
E o repente popular
Toca, Toca berimbau
Para a roda começar
Canta essa ladainha
Pro capoeira jogar
