A Cara do Crime (Nós Incomoda) (feat. Bielzin, PL Quest e MC Cabelinho)

MC Poze do Rodo's song 'A Cara do Crime (Nós Incomoda)' featuring Bielzin, PL Quest, and MC Cabelinho, delves into the complex and often contradictory world of crime, love, and community in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of life in the favelas, where the allure of crime and the desire for a better life coexist in a delicate balance. The song opens with a declaration of identity, 'A cara do crime,' setting the tone for a narrative that explores the intersection of criminal life and personal relationships.

The song's narrative is driven by the tension between the protagonist's criminal lifestyle and his romantic entanglements. The lyrics describe a relationship with a woman from a more affluent area ('Zona Sul'), highlighting the stark contrast between their worlds. Despite the protagonist's assertion that 'vagabundo nato não se apaixona' (a born vagabond doesn't fall in love), there is an undeniable connection fueled by danger and excitement. This relationship serves as a metaphor for the broader societal divide and the allure of the forbidden.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of community and loyalty. The artists express a deep sense of camaraderie and remembrance for friends who are no longer present ('Saudade bate no meu peito dos cria que não estão mais aqui'). This sentiment is juxtaposed with the harsh realities of their environment, where encounters with law enforcement and societal judgment are commonplace. The lyrics also touch on themes of resilience and defiance, as the protagonists navigate their lives with a sense of pride and determination, despite the challenges they face.

The song's chorus, 'Tá na paz de Deus, que permaneça essa tranquilidade na comunidade,' reflects a longing for peace and stability within their community. This desire for tranquility is a poignant reminder of the underlying humanity and hope that persists even in the face of adversity. 'A Cara do Crime (Nós Incomoda)' is a powerful exploration of the dualities of life in the favelas, capturing the complexities of identity, love, and survival in a world where crime and community are inextricably linked.
