Nego wants to beat the pointNego quer bater o ponto
For the work to finishPro trabalho acabar
But black people have no rightsMas preto não tem direito
Work until you get caughtTrabalhar até apanhar

When you get tired, sir, knockQuando cansa sinhô bate
When sir kicksQuando para sinhô chuta
This is slave laborEsse é o trabalho escravo
Taken by brute forceLevado na força bruta

To this day the explorationAté hoje a exploração
Keep rollingContinua a rodar

But there is a differenceMas tem uma diferença
For today the slave to bePra hoje o escravo ser
On the farm it was punishmentNa fazenda era castigo
And today is the point to hitE o hoje é ponto pra bater
