Demo Da Cracía
 

Let’s make a video, let’s make a video.
Like, with me dancing!

I was like: the idea is fantastic, true genius!
Because I, as any and all Angolans, am all swing. I am all swag.
Some people might try to, like… [dances]
But I am smooth and you can’t really copy… You can’t catch all my swing!

And please, the camera has got to be on me. Follow me. 

Here you see gathered a great opportunity for you to capture something singular…
Are you capturing it?
No, on my feet … You got to stay on my feet!
Can you feel it? Do you see it?

Fuck… I’m not sure if this was a good idea, after all…
The entire video with me just dancing…
Where are the women, the chicks, you don’t have a few chicks here…
Me here, alone…
But who’s idea was this?
Mine? It was my idea? Dude… This shit is tiring.

I don’t know what we are going to do. This is my single…
Let’s, like, get cozy, let’s get close…
It’s like we are all, we…, with love… we are all alone. Otherwise I would have chicks, bitches. There are a lot of bitches wanting to be on my video’s, lot’s. A lot.

A break, let’s take a break. 
I need a break, really, seriously.
And for my fans, please continue with this attitude. I’m here dancing my ass off… Cut!
This shit… Cut. Fuck. 

 

I’m not Angolan? I’m not Angolan?
I’m as Angolan as palm oil. I’m as Angolan as the colorful African fabrics. I’m …
I’m as Angolan as the mausoleum (Agostinho Neto’s monument in the city of Luanda).

Let me tell you, seriously, let me tell you…
What was the question?
Angola!
Angola!
From the part here, from here, the heart.

Angola? Surely it respects… It does respect… Angola respects me, it respects me. I’m an artist. I am an artist. 

Do you know what the sperm was from which I came? 
The sperm that made me… Are you aware of the sperm that made me?
Do you know what testicle I originated from? 
It does not respect me. Don’t know why they don’t respect me.

How should I know? I’m an artist. It’s like this is about masturbation…
I am sorry, this movement is a bit violent.
If Angola respects the constitution, does it not respect a person?
If Angola respects the citizen…

I am a person. I am a person. And I am person every day! 
Every day I am a person.

I’m not going to miss Angola. How may I miss something that is here… In here!
Angola goes with me everywhere! Everywhere I go Angola is with me. 

Everywhere I go the cold war is available.
Everywhere I go civil war is available.
Everywhere I go I do not know who my father was.
Everywhere I go you’ll find a Palanca!
Vic! Vic! Bring us a Palanca.

We are… Will be in Angola in this instant…
The marvel of technology!
I carry a Palanca in my heart. Always with me. 
When you hear this song on the radio, it’s like… 

Me? What?
Me… Drunk? Drunk?
Do you think I would expose myself like this?
This is a professional production. A professional… We got lights, and things.

Youngsters want to make money.
Big Mammas want to make money.
Mr. Money wants to make money. 
There we go surpassing on the skill to not pay the bill.

Youngsters want to make money.
Big Mammas want to make money.
Mr. Money wants to make money. 
There we go surpassing on the skill to not pay the bill. 

When you love Angola, a pet enemy on the bed.
