Quem Não Pode Errar Sou Eu (feat. MC Lele JP)

“Quem Não Pode Errar Sou Eu” by MC Leozinho ZS, featuring MC Lele JP, delves into the harsh realities of life in marginalized communities. The song opens with MC Lele addressing the troubling behavior of individuals who resort to crime, such as robbing pedestrians, and yet try to maintain a facade of being respectable or 'good' criminals. This sets the stage for a broader commentary on the moral and social decay observed in these environments.

MC Leozinho ZS continues this narrative by painting a vivid picture of the youth growing up in these areas. He mentions the different regions—South, North, East, and West—highlighting that this issue is widespread. The youth, or 'pivete,' are depicted as growing up against the grain, ignoring the codes and warnings ('salve') of their community elders or 'brothers.' This suggests a breakdown in the transmission of values and respect for communal guidelines, leading to a chaotic and lawless environment.

The recurring line, “Pois erra quem quer, mas quem não pode errar sou eu” (translated as “Anyone can make mistakes, but I’m the one who can’t afford to”), underscores the immense pressure and responsibility felt by the narrators. They acknowledge that while mistakes are a part of life, their circumstances do not afford them the luxury of error. This line encapsulates the song’s central theme: the burden of responsibility in a world where the margin for error is slim to none. It reflects a deep awareness of the consequences of their actions and the high stakes involved in their daily lives.
