[Intro] (Beatbox lead: boots-kah, pah, ch-tss)
boots-kah, boots-kah — vem! / neo nal bwa, oh-oh
No trumpets, só coração — beatbox samba, baby
(Voice: bright, breathy female) — feel the pocket, feel the sway
[Verse 1]
Street lights like sequins, favela heat in my veins
Slap-bass walking low, syncopated hi-hats like rain
I swerve, I strut, I ride the groove, body talk in motion
Pandeiro pulse in my chest, surdo heartbeat, ocean
Whispered promises in Portuguese — “vem dançar, vem”
Korean sparkle on the hook — neo nal bwa, watch me ascend
No brass, just boots-kah and vocal percussion tight
This city moves when I step, night burns neon-bright
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the groove take you, let your shoulders swerve
Bounce in the pocket, every beat reserve
Call me closer, I'll pull you into the sound
No horns, just the rhythm — let it shake the ground
[Chorus]
Rhythm Shutdown, we own the night (lead) — (response) Shut it down!
Neo nal bwa, oh-oh — (response) Neo nal bwa, oh-oh
Beatbox samba, funky pocket, tight slap-bass low
We ride the groove, we light the show — vem, vem, vamos, go
(Call & Response) Lead: Keep watching me — Response: Keep watch, keep watch
Lead: We shut it down — Response: We shut it down
[Post-Chorus / K-pop Earworm]
Neo nal bwa, oh-oh — (layered harmony rise)
Na-na, na-na — bam! (4-syllable melodic hook, repeatable)
[Verse 2]
Carnival shadows, lipstick, leather, midnight chrome
Every step a headline, every beat becomes my home
I move like a secret, slick as a whispered plan
Funk in my backbone, hip-hop in my hands
Vocals weave like ribbons — breathy, high, sincere
Portuguese flirt: “sou quente,” Korean kiss: “jigeum” right here
We trade glances — you feel the call, the samba in your shoes
This rhythm is a passport, every tempo pays its dues
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the groove take you, let your shoulders swerve
Bounce in the pocket, every beat reserve
Call me closer, I'll pull you into the sound
No horns, just the rhythm — let it shake the ground
[Chorus]
Rhythm Shutdown, we own the night (lead) — (response) Shut it down!
Neo nal bwa, oh-oh — (response) Neo nal bwa, oh-oh
Beatbox samba, funky pocket, tight slap-bass low
We ride the groove, we light the show — vem, vem, vamos, go
(Call & Response) Lead: Keep watching me — Response: Keep watch, keep watch
Lead: We shut it down — Response: We shut it down

(Bar 5) Portuguese quick: “vem comigo,” bring your glow, amigo
(Bar 6) Korean snap: “ani, aniya” — I’m the star, I steal the show, bro
(Bar 7) Punchlines land like drum rolls, grill gold, cold flows
(Bar 8) Slap-bass talkin’ back — boom-boom, watch the tempo grow
(Bar 9) I swerve, swerve, serve heat — leather, neon, heartbeat
(Bar10) Funk in my fingertips, hip-hop i
