COSTA QUENTE (feat. Kyan)

FLACKO's song 'COSTA QUENTE (feat. Kyan)' is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of life in the streets, blending themes of success, betrayal, and the harsh realities of urban life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's journey from the struggles of his upbringing to his current status, marked by both respect and envy. The recurring mention of 'vadia' (a derogatory term for women) and the explicit sexual references highlight a lifestyle that is both hedonistic and unapologetic.

The song delves into the complexities of loyalty and betrayal. FLACKO reflects on how former friends have turned into enemies, emphasizing the precarious nature of trust in his environment. The line 'Antes andava comigo agora é inimigo vai ficar pegado' (Before they walked with me, now they are enemies, it's going to get tough) underscores the tension and the constant threat of violence that pervades his world. This sense of betrayal is further amplified by the artist's assertion of his dominance and success, which he attributes to his hard work and resilience.

'COSTA QUENTE' also touches on the racial and social dynamics at play. FLACKO's success is portrayed as a defiance of societal expectations, particularly given the systemic barriers faced by people of color. The line 'Todo sucesso pra gang mas óh nossa cor ainda não permite' (All success to the gang, but our color still doesn't allow it) speaks to the ongoing struggle for recognition and respect in a society that often marginalizes them. This theme of overcoming adversity is a central thread throughout the song, making it not just a personal narrative but also a broader commentary on social issues.
