Amor Ou Dinheiro

The artist begins by acknowledging that words may not impress, but his background and understanding of his place in society give him a unique perspective on the pursuit of wealth.

MC Boy do Charmes discusses the relentless pursuit of money, likening it to a snowballing addiction. He describes the allure of luxury items, such as powerful motorcycles and cars, as symbols of success. The chorus contrasts love, a universal value, with money, which the artist suggests has corrupted many. He points out the hypocrisy and falsehood that often accompany the chase for financial gain, expressing a desire for happiness measured in dollars. This reflects a critical view of how money can influence relationships and personal values.

The repeated line 'Você vale aquilo que tu tem' ('You are worth what you have') serves as a poignant reminder of the societal judgment based on material possessions, challenging listeners to consider the true measure of a person's value.
