Osaka

In 'Osaka,' Japa takes listeners on a journey through his rise to success, blending themes of ambition, resilience, and the trappings of newfound wealth. The song opens with a declaration of making money through his voice, symbolizing his success in the music industry. The mention of entering without a credential and being welcomed to Japan suggests a sense of breaking barriers and achieving recognition in foreign lands. The reference to Yves Saint Laurent and pulling himself up from the ground highlights his journey from humble beginnings to a life of luxury.

Japa's lyrics also delve into the challenges and pressures that come with success. He describes being surrounded by 'urubu' (vultures), indicating the presence of opportunistic individuals looking to take advantage of his success. Despite these challenges, he remains focused on creating hits and maintaining his connection with his partner, symbolized by the Bluetooth metaphor. The mention of Royal Salute and Kawasaki further emphasizes the opulence and fast-paced lifestyle that accompanies his rise.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'Ahn, aham' and 'Tô empilhando' (I'm stacking), reinforces the idea of accumulating wealth and success. Japa's references to waking up with teriyaki and not selling his soul suggest a balance between enjoying the fruits of his labor and staying true to himself. The song also touches on the influence of drugs and materialism, with mentions of 'xans, molly, coco' and luxury brands. However, Japa remains grounded, focusing on his craft and the support of his family and friends. The closing lines reflect his awareness of his value and the higher stakes that come with international recognition.

'Osaka' is a testament to Japa's journey, highlighting the highs and lows of success, the importance of staying true to oneself, and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams.
