Batucadia Suite Lyrics - Teena Marie

Mary's into new things got a brand new bag 

Superficial living made her life a drag 

World stereotypes her as she coins the phrase 

Living for the hot wax and the printed page 

She no longer wants to boss the bull around 

Contrary to popular belief 

All she wants to do is get inside your head 

And play the fun rhythms of the street 

Batucada Suite, rhythms of the street 

Music for the soul love to make you whole 

Estebans a walker and a superman 

Says that love will someday reign throughout this land

Says he's glad you let him try it all again 

'Cause his last time on earth he lived life in sin 

All he wants to do is spread his eagle wings 

And fly south for the winter just like me 

All he wants to do is get inside your head 

And play the funky rhythms from the streets 

Batucada Suite rhythms for the feet 

Music for the soul-geared to make you whole 

Tribal drums of the African, the reggae of the Rastaman 

The ragas of the Indians, rock-n-roll music of my homeland 

Tender lutes of the Orient, the salsa of Spanish descent 

Jesus music is heaven sent to remind us of what has went 

Batu-Batu-cada 

Batu-Batu-cada 

I ya Ototele-the rhythms of Y Surdo as I taste life bittersweet 

I know I am not complete until the message in my songs are yours 

If you feel a pain unfair, crosses too heavy to bear 

Preservation comes from peace not war 

Batu-Batu-cada
