Rbn

Matuê's song 'Rbn' delves into the complexities of success, indulgence, and the relentless pursuit of more. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle marked by excess, where the protagonist is constantly seeking higher levels of achievement and pleasure. The opening lines, 'Jamais houve algum no meu level / Não se envolve tu não sabe o que eu quero,' set the tone for a narrative of unparalleled ambition and a sense of isolation that comes with it. Matuê's use of metaphors like 'esse fumo é tipo crack' highlights the addictive nature of his pursuits, whether they be material wealth or fleeting pleasures.

The song also explores the duality of indulgence and its consequences. The repeated references to smoking and getting high, 'Meu décimo beck foi a quinze minutos atrás,' illustrate a cycle of consumption that is both exhilarating and destructive. The line 'Eu tô gastando mais do que ganhando / Isso ta fudendo o meu plano' reveals the underlying tension between the protagonist's lavish lifestyle and the financial strain it imposes. This duality is further emphasized by the recurring phrase 'Trinta no comando,' suggesting a need for control amidst the chaos.

Culturally, 'Rbn' reflects the aspirations and struggles of a generation seeking to break free from traditional constraints and achieve unprecedented success. The repeated chant 'Rich Brazilian niggas getting money' serves as both a declaration of triumph and a reminder of the societal pressures to maintain such a status. Matuê's blend of boom bap, trap, and rap elements creates a soundscape that mirrors the highs and lows of this journey, making 'Rbn' a compelling commentary on the modern pursuit of success and the costs that come with it.
