In 'Pipa Voada,' Rashid, featuring Emicida and Lukinhas, crafts a lyrical masterpiece that explores themes of freedom, love, and transcendence. The song's title, which translates to 'Flying Kite,' serves as a metaphor for the liberating power of love. The imagery of a kite soaring high in the sky symbolizes the sense of freedom and elevation that the artists feel through their romantic relationships. The repeated line, 'Ela me deu linha e depois voei' ('She gave me line and then I flew'), encapsulates this sentiment, suggesting that love has given them the freedom to rise above life's constraints.
Rashid's verses are rich with cultural references and metaphors. He compares his elevated state of mind to a kite flying high, driven by the rhythm of his daily hustle. The mention of popular Brazilian artists like Iza and Anitta, and the playful nod to Kevinho, adds a layer of contemporary relevance.

This duality of being grounded yet elevated is a recurring theme, highlighting the transformative power of love.
