The song "Nega" by Patchanka speaks of a man pleading to his lover not to mistreat him. He sings to her, using the term "nega" (a Brazilian term of endearment for a dark-skinned woman) repeatedly in the refrain, asking her not to mistreat him. He reminds her of how much love and affection he showers her with, and questions who else could possibly treat her as well as he does. He asks her to remember that he's the one who cuddles her to sleep, makes her happy, and even fetches water for her. He admits to being old-fashioned, bringing her flowers to please her, and asks her to reciprocate his love by treating him well.
The song is a classic example of the MPB (Música Popular Brasileira - Brazilian Pop Music) genre, which originated in the 1960s and explored a fusion of traditional Brazilian rhythms with contemporary music styles. The lyrics' term "nega" had initially been used to refer to black women with a more derogatory connotation, but in modern Brazilian popular music, it has been reclaimed as a term of endearment. Upbeat and danceable, the song has become a staple of Brazilian funk and has been covered by various other artists.
