He speaks about the responsibility he feels to uplift others, as seen in the lines 'Eu devolvi a autoestima pra minha gente / Isso que é ser hip-hop' (I gave self-esteem back to my people / That's what being hip-hop is). Despite his achievements, Djonga remains acutely aware of the ongoing struggles faced by his community and the societal prejudices that persist. The song is a powerful testament to his journey, his resilience, and his commitment to using his platform to inspire and empower others.
