Nota de 100 (feat. MC Ryan SP, MC Pedrinho, MC Davi e MC Don Juan)

MC Daleste's song 'Nota de 100,' featuring MC Ryan SP, MC Pedrinho, MC Davi, and MC Don Juan, delves into the themes of wealth, nightlife, and the allure of a lavish lifestyle. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of young men enjoying the fruits of their labor, flaunting their wealth, and reveling in the attention they receive from women. The repeated mention of 'nota de 100' (100 reais bill) symbolizes their financial success and the power it brings in their social circles.

The song also touches on the transient nature of relationships in this lifestyle. The women described in the lyrics are portrayed as being attracted to the wealth and status of the men, rather than seeking genuine emotional connections. This is evident in lines like 'Ela não quer viver com paixão e por isso ela tá anoitada com as amigas' (She doesn't want to live with passion, so she's out at night with her friends). The lyrics suggest a mutual understanding between the men and women involved, where materialism and physical attraction take precedence over deeper emotional bonds.

Additionally, 'Nota de 100' reflects the cultural context of the Brazilian funk scene, where themes of overcoming adversity and achieving success are prevalent. The artists celebrate their rise from humble beginnings to a life of luxury, as seen in lines like 'Eu passei fome, os pengue cabuloso / Hoje eu gasto grana de lala, cordão de ouro' (I went hungry, the tough times / Today I spend money on lala, gold chain). This narrative resonates with many listeners who aspire to escape poverty and achieve financial stability. The song serves as both a celebration of their success and a commentary on the societal values that prioritize wealth and status.
