Gangway

Brocasito's song 'Gangway' is a vivid portrayal of a lifestyle marked by bravado, materialism, and the constant presence of danger. The lyrics are a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the artist's world, where wealth and status are flaunted, and enemies are dealt with harshly. The repeated references to firearms, designer brands, and codeine paint a picture of a life that is both glamorous and perilous. The line 'Se eu tenho duas glocks, qual fodido vai tretar comigo?' (If I have two Glocks, which fool will mess with me?) sets the tone for the song, emphasizing a sense of invincibility and readiness to confront any threat.

The metaphor of feeling like 'Ken' with 'Barbies' wanting to be with him highlights Brocasito's self-perception as a desirable and powerful figure. This is further reinforced by his focus on 'bands' (money) even in his sleep, indicating an obsession with wealth and success. The presence of a SigSauer in his pocket, making him feel 'esquisito' (weird), underscores the constant tension and paranoia that come with his lifestyle. The disdain for 'nego invejoso, sem dinheiro, vai virar mendigo' (jealous people without money will become beggars) reflects a harsh view of those who envy his success but lack the means to achieve it themselves.

Cultural references to brands like Ferragamo, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, as well as the mention of Shein, highlight the importance of fashion and status symbols in Brocasito's world. The use of codeine, referred to as 'codeína dentro do meu copo, me deixa sorrindo' (codeine in my cup makes me smile), points to the coping mechanisms employed to deal with the pressures and dangers of his environment. The song's rhythm and flow, combined with its gritty lyrics, create a compelling narrative of a life lived on the edge, where every day is a battle for dominance and survival.
