Mc Orelha
The Struggle and Resilience of a Criminal
In the song "Sou Criminoso" by Mc Orelha, the artist delves into the life of someone labeled as a criminal, exploring themes of judgment, resilience, and the harsh realities of their existence. The lyrics open with a powerful statement about being judged for being a criminal, highlighting the hypocrisy in society where no one is truly innocent. Mc Orelha emphasizes that while purity still exists, no one is naive, and he identifies himself as a wolf rather than a black sheep, indicating a natural inclination towards strength and survival.
The song continues to describe the arduous journey that led to the current situation, where intelligence and brute force were necessary for survival. Mc Orelha points out that while they have a good heart, it is reserved only for those who deserve it, and the group recognizes and supports those who have fallen but are making an effort. The lyrics caution against confusing malice with being Machiavellian, suggesting that their words are as powerful as bullets, and true intentions can be seen through direct eye contact.

Through "Sou Criminoso," Mc Orelha provides a raw and unfiltered look into the mindset and experiences of someone living on the fringes of society, challenging the listener to understand and empathize with their perspective.
