Ibama (feat. MC Hariel)

The song 'Ibama (feat. MC Hariel)' by Brazilian artist MC Davi, featuring MC Hariel, is a track that uses a plethora of animal metaphors to describe a lavish and hedonistic lifestyle. The title itself references the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), which is responsible for environmental protection. The song's lyrics playfully suggest that the agency is interested in the artist's affairs because of the 'animals' in his wardrobe, which are actually luxury clothing items made from exotic animal skins and prints.

MC Davi's lyrics boast about wealth, women, and a carefree attitude towards life. The repeated references to animals serve as metaphors for different aspects of street life and the music industry. For example, 'cachorra' (female dog) and 'piranha' (piranha) are derogatory Brazilian slang terms for women considered promiscuous. The 'garagem de animal' with 'cavalos e se jaguar' (horses and jaguars) likely refers to a garage full of powerful cars, as 'cavalos' (horses) is also a term for horsepower, and Jaguar is a luxury car brand.

The song also touches on themes of trust and betrayal in a cutthroat environment, comparing the music scene to a jungle where one must be wary of 'cobras' (snakes) and 'sanguessugas' (leeches), implying deceitful people who may be out to exploit others. The overall message of the song is about navigating this 'urban jungle' with intelligence and caution, while also enjoying the spoils of success.
