Urubus (part. Derek)

Matuê's song 'Urubus,' featuring Derek, delves into the pressures and challenges of success in the music industry, particularly within the trap genre. The title 'Urubus' (vultures) is a metaphor for those who hover around, waiting to take advantage of his success without putting in the effort themselves. Matuê feels constantly observed and monitored, as if people are waiting for him to slip up. This sense of being watched is a common theme among successful artists who feel the weight of public scrutiny and the envy of others.

The lyrics highlight Matuê's confidence in his abilities and his gratitude for his success, which he attributes to being 'blessed from birth.' He sees himself as a natural winner, chosen to dominate both the trap scene and the streets. However, this success attracts 'vultures' who want to benefit from his hard work without contributing anything themselves. Matuê uses vivid imagery to describe how these people are like scavengers, waiting to feast on the 'carcass' of his achievements.

Derek's verse complements Matuê's sentiments by emphasizing the superficiality and frustration of those who try to imitate their success. He portrays himself as someone who is above the petty squabbles and criticisms, focusing instead on his own path and achievements. The recurring chorus of 'Urubus' serves as a reminder of the constant presence of these opportunists, but also as a declaration of resilience and determination to stay on top despite them.

The song is a powerful commentary on the realities of fame and success, particularly in the competitive world of trap music. It speaks to the resilience required to maintain one's position and the ever-present threat of those who seek to undermine it for their gain.
