Quem Diria Né
MC Ruzika
Resilience and Authenticity in a Treacherous World
MC Ruzika's song "Quem Diria Né" delves into themes of trust, betrayal, and resilience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where trust is scarce, and betrayal is rampant. The opening lines, "Nunca confie em ninguém / O mundo é traiçoeiro," set the tone for the song, warning listeners about the deceptive nature of people. This sentiment is further emphasized with lines like "Muitos dizem ser o seu amigo / Tramam no seu erro," highlighting the duplicity of those who pretend to be friends but secretly plot against you.
The song also touches on the importance of staying vigilant and protecting oneself from harm. MC Ruzika mentions praying for protection against malice and always being alert to falsehoods: "Rezo e peço proteção / Contra toda a maldade / Eu tô ligeiro sempre atento / Com os falsidade." This reflects a sense of spiritual resilience and the need to stay grounded in one's faith and awareness. The imagery of being embraced with a knife in hand, "Me abraça com a faca na mão," powerfully conveys the danger of hidden enemies and the constant threat of betrayal.
Despite the negativity, the song carries a message of perseverance and authenticity. The repeated refrain, "Oh quem diria né / Pros desacreditados / Eu tô firmão de pé," serves as a declaration of standing strong against doubters and remaining true to oneself. The distinction between "malandro" (a savvy, street-smart person) and "mané" (a fool) underscores the importance of wisdom and discernment in navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, MC Ruzika celebrates the genuine people in his life and wishes for the downfall of the deceitful, encapsulating a spirit of resilience and authenticity in the face of adversity.
