DESIGN

4KGUTO's song 'DESIGN' is a raw and unapologetic portrayal of the hustle and grind in the world of trap music. The lyrics are a testament to the artist's relentless focus on making money and achieving success, regardless of the obstacles or naysayers. The recurring theme of 'cash' and 'design' underscores the importance of financial gain and the strategic planning involved in his journey. The phrase 'A Vibe Nunca Cai' (The Vibe Never Falls) serves as a mantra, emphasizing the artist's unwavering determination and resilience.

The song also delves into the artist's background and the stark contrast between his life and that of the 'playboys' he mentions. By the age of 17, 4KGUTO had already seen more money than these privileged individuals, highlighting his early entry into the world of hustling. The reference to his 'gang' and the entrepreneurial spirit of his 'mano nas esquinas' (brother on the corners) selling more than 'trakinas' (a popular Brazilian cookie) paints a vivid picture of street-level entrepreneurship and the grind that comes with it.

Metaphors and cultural references are abundant in 'DESIGN.' The line 'Minha conta com macrocefalia, é tipo um iceberg, cê só vê a ponta' (My account with macrocephaly, it's like an iceberg, you only see the tip) cleverly illustrates the hidden wealth and potential beneath the surface. The mention of 'bet365' and 'quadriplicando dinheiro do trap' (quadrupling trap money) speaks to the high-stakes nature of his financial ventures. The song also touches on themes of violence and survival, with lines like 'Violento por design' (Violent by design) and 'Se me irritar demais vadia toma bala' (If you irritate me too much, bitch takes a bullet), reflecting the harsh realities of his environment.

'4KGUTO' uses 'DESIGN' to not only showcase his lyrical prowess but also to provide a glimpse into the life of a young hustler navigating the complexities of street life and the music industry. The song is a bold declaration of his ambitions, struggles, and the unyielding drive that fuels his success.
