This is a emotionally raw track for me. It reflects a time when I felt (and still feel) so angry to see the frequent killing of unarmed blacks and minorities by police officers and watching those same offices walk away without punishment. It’s murder. We as human beings have never progressed because the world is still white washed. Angry white racist old men who have doomed this planet with colonialism, slavery, racism and capitalism are still in power. I feel like humans are very easily manipulated — those in power have figured out the formula long ago to keep people of color and minorities uneducated & separated.
Modern slavery is alive and well, making millions for the same corporations by incarcerating black folks. = Zuzuka Poderosa 2018

lyrics
1, vou fazer voce dancar
eu vou te mandar aquela
quero ver voce mexer
mexe na cintura dela
i'm gonna make you dance
i'm gonna tell you how it is
i wanna see you move
and mover her hips
2. eu zuzuka poderosa
do brooklyn de nova york
vou mandar um papo reto
aqui tem tropa de choque
i'm zuzuka poderosa
directly from NY
i'm gonna tell you how its is
here, we also have the police squad
3. quem e pobre quem e negro
se papai nao papa tudo
alvo da sociedade
vira problema pro mundo
if you're poor or black
and your daddy doesn't pay for everything
you become a society's target
and a problem to the world.
4. inocentes baleados
sem motivo sem noçao
vem vindo a tropa de choque
e sangue correndo no chao
innocents are shot and killed
with no motive or reason
here comes the police squad
and blood running on the ground
5, e pra fazer dinheiro
pobre que leva a cana
mata mata faz a cota
e preto que leva a fama
and then to make more money
the poor will be jailed
they kill kill, make quotas
and then blame black people for it.
6. nossos presidiarios
que geram muito dinheiro
ao governo que devia
dar educaçao e emprego
and those incarcerated
that generate millions
to the government who instead
should be generating education, and jobs
7. vao fazer voce matar
como matam na favela
mete mete mete
mete o probre na cela
they gonna make you kill
like they kill them in the favelas
shove shove shove
shove the poor in the jail cells

Easily my favorite Feelgood Summer Tune of 2018 so far. This one just oozes loveliness and dreamy holiday vibes with gorgeous vocals and sun-drenched melodies. Big up and full support! Heck, I even have the tune as my ringtone at the moment.
