NÃO OS VEJO (feat. PLUTÓNIO)
Lon3r Johny
Navigating Authenticity in a World of Fakes: Lon3r Johny's 'NÃO OS VEJO'
Lon3r Johny's song 'NÃO OS VEJO,' featuring Plutónio, delves into themes of authenticity and self-assurance amidst a backdrop of superficiality and pretense. The repeated refrain, 'Todos eles falam, mas eu não os vejo' ('They all talk, but I don't see them'), underscores a sense of disillusionment with those who boast about their achievements and lifestyles but fail to back up their claims with tangible actions. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line 'Nunca segui bala desses boys fakes' ('I never followed those fake boys'), highlighting the artist's commitment to staying true to himself and not being swayed by the false bravado of others.
The lyrics also explore the artist's personal experiences and successes, contrasting them with the empty words of others. Lines like 'Quando eu 'tou na party, essa bitch declara-se' ('When I'm at the party, that bitch declares herself') and 'Vê-me agora, new whip, vê o que perdeste, yes, I'm the flyest, baby' ('See me now, new whip, see what you lost, yes, I'm the flyest, baby') reflect a sense of confidence and self-assuredness. These moments of personal triumph are juxtaposed with the artist's disdain for those who merely talk without substance, reinforcing the theme of authenticity.
Plutónio's verse adds another layer to the song, touching on themes of resilience and perseverance. He raps about overcoming obstacles and achieving success despite the odds, as seen in lines like 'Subir até aqui, vais precisar de mais escudo' ('To climb up here, you'll need more shield') and 'Cheguei, ganhei, mas antes visualizei' ('I arrived, I won, but first I visualized'). This narrative of hard-earned success further contrasts with the hollow boasts of others, emphasizing the value of genuine effort and determination.
Overall, 'NÃO OS VEJO' is a powerful commentary on the importance of authenticity and the pitfalls of superficiality. It encourages listeners to focus on their own paths and achievements rather than being distracted by the empty words of others.
