Só Surubinha de Leve (Resposta)

Ariel Mançanares' song 'Só Surubinha de Leve (Resposta)' is a powerful response to the controversial and misogynistic lyrics of the original 'Só Surubinha de Leve.' The song opens with a call to attention, 'Pega visão,' urging listeners to understand the message that follows. Ariel addresses the disrespectful and degrading treatment of women often depicted in certain genres of music, particularly funk, which is known for its raw and explicit content.

The lyrics criticize the normalization of objectifying women, as seen in lines like 'Pode vim sem dinheiro, mas trás uma piranha' and 'Taca bebida e depois taca pica e abandona na rua.' Ariel flips the narrative by highlighting the indignation and frustration felt by women who are tired of being disrespected. She emphasizes that women just want to dance, have fun, and be happy without being subjected to derogatory treatment.

Ariel's response is not just a critique but also a call for change. She stresses the importance of consent and respect, pointing out the hypocrisy of men who degrade women but expect to be treated well in return. The line 'Respeita as mina, e se fosse tua filha?' is particularly poignant, challenging listeners to consider how they would feel if their own loved ones were treated in such a manner. The song ends with a strong message of solidarity among women, 'As mina, nós tamo junta,' reinforcing the idea that respect and dignity should be fundamental in all interactions.
