Deus
Douglas & Marcelle Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Deus" by Douglas & Marcelle. In this song, the artists reflect on their lives and experiences, highlighting the struggles they have faced as well as their aspirations for a better future.

The lyrics begin by describing the varying states of their lives, sometimes feeling abandoned and other times feeling confident and successful. They mention having days with empty pockets and other days where they feel like bosses. The choice of drinks they mention, such as Askov and Ciroc, represent different phases of their lives; they used to enjoy cheaper drinks but now prefer more expensive ones. Despite this, they affirm that wealth has not made them lose their humility, and they always considered themselves poor at heart.

They express their desire to improve and take care of their loved ones, aiming to enjoy and relax with women at a resort once they have succeeded. They pride themselves on their strength and determination, seeing themselves as warriors in action. They acknowledge that receiving praise is expected, given where they come from, but they strive to value their roots and those around them.

The artists criticize the lack of authenticity and weakness they perceive in some fellow musicians, referring to them as fake products. They embark on a journey to seek power and recognition, acknowledging that they still have a long way to go, but believing that one day they will deserve the abundance they desire.

The chorus emphasizes their reliance on God's blessings while pursuing material wealth behind the scenes. They assert their identity as sons of God as well as sons of the underprivileged, acknowledging the challenges they pose to the system. The mention of being armed with a .50 represents their determination to protect themselves and assert their place in the world.

In the second verse, they contrast their lives with a wealthy individual, referred to as "Boyzão" (big guy). They mention the material possessions that the person has inherited and how they themselves have inherited faith and ambition from their father. They address the perception of funk music as a product for the wealthy to consume, reflecting on the societal judgment of turning to a life of crime if one hasn't experienced the streets. They also mention the legacy of someone called "boladão," acknowledging their passing but their influence continuing.

The chorus repeats, emphasizing their reliance on God's blessings and identity as the sons of the underprivileged. In the bridge, they mention being armed with both pen and paper and a .50, suggesting their readiness to express themselves through music and defend themselves through any means necessary.

The lyrics end on a reflective note, expressing their love for their mothers and understanding their messages. They believe their stories will have a happy ending, as they see themselves destined for success and refusing to be overshadowed. Overall, the song portrays their determination to overcome the obstacles they face as they navigate through life in pursuit of their dreams.
