Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deus fez o mar, as árvore, as criança, o amor
O homem me deu a favela, o crack, a trairagem
As arma, as bebida, as puta
Eu? Eu tenho uma Bíblia velha
Uma pistola automática
Um sentimento de revolta
'To tentando




Overall Meaning

In the song "Genesis" by Racionais MC's, the lyrics touch upon the duality of creation and destruction in the world. The lyrics begin by stating that God created the sea, the trees, the children, and love, symbolizing the beauty and positive aspects of life. However, the songwriter then expresses how humankind has brought about negative elements, such as the favelas (slums), crack cocaine, and betrayal. The mention of weapons, alcohol, and prostitutes further highlights the darker side of society.


Amidst all this, the singer reveals their personal belongings - an old Bible, an automatic pistol, and a sense of rebellion. This juxtaposition represents the struggle between good and evil within the individual. The lyrics seem to indicate that, despite the negative influences surrounding them, the singer is attempting to navigate through life's challenges while holding onto their faith and sense of justice.

Gênesis contemporâneo!

Tem De Tudo

To tentando sobreviver no inferno

Mr. Jefferson

Achava que era "uma amiga velha... uma pistola automática"

Obs: Bíblia Velha é o correto!

Wesley

Deus fez o mar, as árvore, as criança, o amor
O homem me deu a favela, o crack, a trairagem,
as arma, as bebida, as puta

Eu?! Eu tenho uma Bíblia velha, uma pistola
automática e um sentimento de revolta
Eu tô tentando sobreviver no inferno
