Coração Gelado (feat. MC's IG, Leozinho ZS, V7, Joaozinho VT, Letto e Kako)

“Coração Gelado” by DJ Boy, featuring MC's IG, Leozinho ZS, V7, Joaozinho VT, Letto, and Kako, is a powerful anthem that delves into the harsh realities and eventual triumphs of life in the favelas. The song opens with a message of resilience and optimism, encouraging listeners to make the best out of difficult days and to draw inspiration from their surroundings. The artists reminisce about simpler times, such as flying kites, which serve as a metaphor for the fleeting moments of joy amidst hardship.

The lyrics then shift to a more confrontational tone, addressing the discrimination and struggles faced by those living in poverty. The artists speak candidly about being judged for their socioeconomic status and the lessons learned from their suffering. They highlight the importance of loyalty and the realization that true friends are revealed during tough times. The recurring line, “o mundão gira” (the world turns), emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and the possibility of breaking free from negative circumstances. The artists celebrate their achievements and defy the odds, proving wrong those who doubted them.

The song also explores themes of love and relationships, often marked by superficiality and opportunism. The artists describe encounters with women who are attracted to their newfound success but were absent during their struggles. This dynamic is encapsulated in the phrase “coração gelado” (cold heart), symbolizing emotional detachment and the protective barriers they’ve built. Despite the material gains and attention, the artists remain grounded, aware of the transient nature of their current status. The song concludes with a reflection on the journey from hardship to success, underscoring the resilience and determination that define their lives.
