Bem Nessa

Da Guedes' song 'Bem Nessa' is a powerful anthem that delves into themes of loyalty, resilience, and the importance of community. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of life in the favelas, where trust and camaraderie are essential for survival. The opening lines, 'Já tomei soro antiofídico / Dei tchau pros cobras, pros traíras,' metaphorically suggest that the singer has faced and overcome betrayal and deceit, choosing to surround himself with true friends. The repeated shout-outs to different zones (ZN, ZS, ZL) emphasize the unity and solidarity among various neighborhoods.

The song also highlights the significance of rap as a form of expression and empowerment. Lines like 'Tudo que o rap fez / Tudo que o rap faz / É a diferença!' underscore the transformative power of music in giving a voice to the marginalized. The artist reflects on his journey, acknowledging that his success is a result of persistence and the support of his community. 'Se hoje eu consegui é por que um dia eu comecei / A saber que se pode manter a voz ativa' speaks to the importance of starting somewhere and staying vocal about one's struggles and aspirations.

Moreover, 'Bem Nessa' touches on the harsh realities of life in the favelas, such as police presence and the lure of drugs. Yet, it remains hopeful and celebratory, with mentions of parties and friendships that endure through good times and bad. The recurring line 'Segue a risca e não desanda / Que a regra não mudou' serves as a reminder to stay true to oneself and one's principles, no matter the circumstances. The song is a tribute to the strength and resilience of the community, encapsulating the spirit of brotherhood and mutual support that defines their way of life.
