Roda Falsa (versione 2)

Verse 1

Rubber smoke and the red glow fades

Four blocks south where the night gets made

Every window blinking gold then black

Someone's car door swinging wide

I'm watching it happen like I knew

The block holds breath, keeps low

The bassline climbs through the wire on the wall

Same four houses but the whole street falls

Like nothing changed yet everything broke loose tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing slow through your feet?

Something's coming and we already moved our seats

Chorus

We ride the rodinha, hands up high in flames

Every corner turns into another name

No more names tonight, just red heat and haze

This is how we keep the city awake now

Verse 2

Streetlight flicker like a hundred cameras blinking

Someone's stereo rattling the whole street again

My palms sweat hard but I don't move back yet

The block holds steady while everything else goes west

I'm watching it happen like I knew

The bassline climbs through the wire on the wall

Someone laughs loud and nobody stops talking

Like nothing changed, but we're not the same people now

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing slow through your feet?

Something's coming and we already moved our seats

Chorus

We ride the rodinha, hands up high in flames

Every corner turns into another name

No more names tonight, just red heat and haze

This is how we keep the city awake now

Bridge

Maybe I didn't know what was gonna break loose tonight

But it's mine now like a heartbeat nobody bought

I'm not scared of the burn — that's just the glow

The whole block holds breath but the engine still rolls on

Chorus

We ride the rodinha, hands up high in flames

Every corner turns into another name

No more names tonight, just red heat and haze

This is how we keep the city awake now
