Prefácio
Projota Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O tempo 'tá voando, pivete
Imagina em '88, '87
Os cabelo era total mesmo
Nós não tinha nem sonho, mano
Que sonho que tinha?
Sonhar com o quê?
Nóis vinha do Capão
Aí, na Paulista, olha o tênis na vitrine
De uma hora pra outra comecei a usar umas roupa estranha
Umas blusa de jeans grafitado nas costa
Umas correntes de latão
De ferro, grossona
Imitando o RUN-DMC
As mina tiravam sarro
Eu investi sempre um pouquinho a mais que todo mundo
Porque eu não tinha nada a perder, mano
Então eu nunca

Não tinha um perigo maior que a minha própria vida real
Minha própria vida real já era um perigo, mano
Cada vez que ele começavam a entender o som
Eu fazia outro que não dava pra entender (pode crer)

Saía do rótulo
Até criar metade de
50% é amigo, 50% inimigo
Os inimigo vai ter que esperar
Depois eu volto, agora não vai dar não
Não dá pra ficar com eles nessa não
Unanimidade não é liberdade
É o contrário
Não pode isso, não pode aquilo
Então o que é que pode?
Ser infeliz pode
Ser feliz não pode
Simples assim
Broh, eu já não preciso da sua opinião
O bagulho 'tá maior, e agora?
'Tá tocando em todos os carro




Todos os bagulho
E agora?

Overall Meaning

In "Prefácio," Projota reflects on his journey and the challenges he faced as a young artist. The first paragraph explores the passage of time and the changes that have occurred since the late 1980s. He reminisces about how back then, their focus was not on dreams but on survival. Coming from a neighborhood called Capão, Projota describes how he used to admire the shoes displayed in the Paulista Avenue stores, but he couldn't afford them. He talks about how he started to dress differently, wearing graffiti jeans, and imitation RUN-DMC chains, even though people made fun of him. He explains that he was willing to invest a little more in himself because he had nothing to lose.


The second paragraph delves into the dangers and risks Projota faced in his real life. He emphasizes that his real existence was already filled with danger. As people started to understand and appreciate his music, he created new songs that were intentionally harder to grasp. This demonstrates his desire to constantly challenge himself and evade categorization. He acknowledges the 50/50 dynamic of friendship and enmity in his life, suggesting that the enemies will have to wait for their turn while he focuses on his progress.


The third paragraph reflects the struggle to break free from societal expectations. Projota rejects the idea of unanimity as freedom, seeing it as the opposite. He questions the limitations imposed by others, expressing frustration with the restrictions placed on happiness while unhappiness seems to be more readily accepted. He asserts his independence from others' opinions, noting that he no longer needs validation since his success is evident. He poses the question of what can be done when societal norms dictate what is and isn't possible.


The fourth paragraph acknowledges the growth and impact of his work. Projota acknowledges that his music is now being played in all cars, and he questions what the next steps should be. It leaves the listener with a sense of curiosity and anticipation, as Projota reflects on his current success and the challenges that lie ahead.
