Depressão & Tráfico

Brocasito's song 'Depressão & Tráfico' delves into the harsh realities of a life intertwined with crime and mental health struggles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young man who has turned to drug dealing as a means of survival, yet remains acutely aware of the emotional and psychological toll it takes on him. The opening lines, '20g de keef vadia eu tô bonito / Tô vendendo droga mas ainda não tô rico,' highlight the paradox of his situation—engaging in illegal activities but not achieving the wealth or stability he seeks.

The song also touches on themes of betrayal and resilience. Brocasito reflects on his past, mentioning how false friendships led him astray and into a life of crime at a young age. 'O primeiro crime eu só tinha 16 / Amizades falsas que planejarem meu fim' reveals the vulnerability and manipulation he experienced. Despite these hardships, he expresses a determination to overcome, as seen in the line, 'Mãe, eu te prometo, eu vou vencer mais uma vez.' This promise to his mother underscores a desire for redemption and a better future.

Moreover, 'Depressão & Tráfico' explores the internal conflict and sense of isolation that comes with his lifestyle. The recurring references to drug use, such as 'Maconha e frasco receita de codeína,' serve as coping mechanisms for his depression. The acknowledgment of divine oversight, 'Já fiz tanta merda, Deus não gosta mais de mim / Mas eu tô sabendo que ele cuida de mim,' adds a layer of spiritual struggle, suggesting a complex relationship with faith and morality. Ultimately, the song is a raw and unfiltered look at the duality of survival in a world where crime and mental health issues are deeply intertwined.
