Menor do Corre

MC Kevin's song "Menor do Corre" is a raw and introspective narrative that delves into his personal transformation from a life of crime to a successful music career. The lyrics are a reflection of his past experiences, the mistakes he made, and the lessons he learned along the way. The song opens with a casual conversation, setting a tone of reminiscence and reflection. Kevin recalls a friend who passed away and the impact this loss had on his life, pushing him to change his path.

The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors, such as "não tenta sugar minha alma" (don't try to suck my soul) and "cheio de bala veneno" (full of poison bullets), which illustrate the dangers and moral corruption of his past life. Kevin contrasts this with his current success, symbolized by luxury items like a Lamborghini and references to famous figures like Snoop Dogg. This juxtaposition highlights the stark difference between his past and present, emphasizing the positive changes he has made.

A recurring theme in the song is loyalty to his roots. Despite moving to a better neighborhood, Kevin repeatedly mentions Vila Ede, his old neighborhood, showing that he hasn't forgotten where he came from. This loyalty is also evident in his determination to succeed in music, not just for personal gain but to make his mother proud and honor the memory of his late friend. The refrain "Eu mesmo conduzo a minha fé" (I myself conduct my faith) underscores his newfound independence and self-reliance, marking his journey from a 'menor do corre' (a hustler) to a respected artist.
