Cigarro

Hot e Oreia's song 'Cigarro' is a raw and unfiltered commentary on the illusions and dangers of power, particularly within marginalized communities. The lyrics caution against the seductive nature of power, likening it to a drug that can lead to one's downfall. The repeated warning, 'Cuidado com o poder que vão te dar' (Be careful with the power they will give you), sets the tone for the song, emphasizing that power can be as addictive and destructive as any substance.

The song delves into the socio-political landscape, highlighting the hypocrisy and corruption within religious and state institutions. Hot's verse paints a vivid picture of a society where even the church is not immune to corruption, as he mentions the defacement of a Candomblé wall and the biased 'cleaning' under the guise of law. This imagery underscores the systemic racism and religious intolerance prevalent in society. The line 'Corpos na escada, E o Estado vai passar o pano mais uma vez' (Bodies on the stairs, and the State will cover it up once again) is a powerful indictment of the state's role in perpetuating violence and injustice.

Oreia's verse continues this theme, addressing the casual aggression and dishonesty within relationships and communities. He warns about the allure of materialism and substance abuse, drawing from personal experiences to illustrate the emptiness and decay that follow. The reference to 'lean' (a recreational drug) and its detrimental effects serves as a metaphor for the broader consequences of succumbing to the false promises of power and wealth. The song's gritty realism and unapologetic language reflect the harsh realities faced by many, making 'Cigarro' a poignant critique of societal structures and the human condition.
