Minha Última Música

MC Kevin's song "Minha Última Música" is a poignant reflection on his life, career, and the challenges he faces as an artist. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of weariness and a desire for a break from the pressures of fame and the music industry. Kevin speaks about the envy and negativity that surround him, symbolized by the 'shadow' that follows him. This shadow represents those who envy his success but cannot keep up with his pace. He contrasts his past life of crime with his current status as a successful MC, using metaphors of crime to describe his impact on the audience's minds and hearts.

The song also touches on the societal perception of funk music and its artists. Kevin criticizes the government for labeling funk as a crime, highlighting the irony that even the children of those in power aspire to be like him. This critique extends to a broader commentary on social inequality and the struggles of the marginalized communities from which funk music often emerges. The repeated lines about his 'brilliance' and his car outrunning the police sirens symbolize his defiance and success despite societal prejudices.

In the latter part of the song, Kevin expresses his exhaustion and desire for peace. He talks about taking a break to enjoy his wealth and reflect on his life, away from the constant scrutiny and envy. The mention of political figures like Bolsonaro and the critique of their lack of integrity further emphasize his disillusionment with the current state of the world. The song ends on a note of resignation and a promise to return, leaving the listener with a sense of his internal struggle and the heavy burden of his public persona.
