From the Favela to Stardom: The Journey of a Rockstar
In '21 Balas,' Choice paints a vivid picture of his rise from the favelas to becoming a celebrated figure, likening himself to a rockstar. The song is a powerful narrative of self-empowerment and resilience, where the artist reflects on his journey and the obstacles he has overcome. The opening lines suggest a sense of divine envy, as if the gods themselves are curious about his success and resilience. This metaphor sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting Choice's larger-than-life persona and his unyielding spirit.
The lyrics delve into the stark contrast between his humble beginnings and his current status. Choice describes himself as a towering figure, both literally and metaphorically, whose brilliance cannot be dimmed by anything. He speaks of his desire to have the world in his hands, symbolizing his ambition and drive. The repeated lines about turning any song into a hit and spending nights in mansions emphasize his newfound success and the lifestyle that comes with it. Yet, he remains grounded, acknowledging his roots and the struggles he faced growing up in the favelas.
Choice also addresses the fake personas and adversaries he encounters, comparing himself to legendary figures like 50 Cent, Tupac, and even the Undertaker. These references serve to underscore his toughness and resilience in the face of adversity. The song also touches on themes of forgiveness and regret, as Choice asks for forgiveness for the false friends he has forgiven and the enemies he has yet to confront. The closing lines are a powerful declaration of his purpose: to make his father proud and to bring change to his favela. Through '21 Balas,' Choice not only celebrates his success but also serves as an inspiration to others from similar backgrounds, showing that it is possible to rise above one's circumstances and achieve greatness.
