[Intro - Angolan Groove] [Verse 1 - Funk Rock Groove] Put down the tools, the day is done There's something moving down the road A drum is calling from the yard Another answers from below Bright cloth is waiting by the door Fresh paint is drying in the heat We've practiced long enough inside Today we take it to the street [Pre-Chorus - Building] Open the doors Let the rhythm through Luanda, we're coming out to you! [Chorus - Heavy Rock, Big Guitars, Group Response] Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Let the whole city move! Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Come and let the rhythm through! [Verse 2 - Funk Rock Groove] From Cazenga to Sambizanga Every corner finds a sound Whistles cut across the drums As the colors turn around No grand hall can hold us now No walls can keep this rhythm small One street answers another street Until the city answers all [Pre-Chorus - Building] Open the doors Let the rhythm through Luanda, we're coming out to you! [Chorus - Heavy Rock, Big Guitars, Group Response] Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Let the whole city move! Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Come and let the rhythm through! [Guitar Solo - Heavy Funk Rock] [Bridge - Percussive Call and Response] There were years the road went quiet Years we learned to wait inside But if the street was waiting— (COME FILL THE STREET!) [Final Chorus - Heavy Rock, Big Guitars, Group Response] Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Let Luanda hear us move! Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Let the whole city come alive! Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Every rhythm, every voice! Bring it to the street! (TO THE STREET!) Now the whole street comes alive! [Outro - Angolan Groove] (TO THE STREET!) (TO THE STREET!)
