100

Teto's song '100' delves into the complexities of street life, capturing the hustle, struggle, and the pursuit of financial success. The recurring phrase 'Joga as de cem' (Throw the hundreds) symbolizes the desire for wealth and the relentless grind to achieve it. This phrase is juxtaposed with 'Make no, make no sense,' highlighting the paradoxical nature of the pursuit—while the quest for money may seem irrational or senseless, it brings a sense of well-being and satisfaction to the artist.

The lyrics reflect Teto's personal journey, growing up in a challenging environment ('Eu cresci na guerra antes dos meus pais') and fighting to maintain his mental stability ('Eu luto pra minha consciência não pular do cais'). The imagery of destruction and rebuilding ('Me destruo a cada dia que passa') underscores the daily battles faced in the streets. Teto's narrative is one of resilience, as he navigates through adversity, waiting for his moment of success ('Passo o tempo esperando bater a massa').

Teto also touches on themes of loyalty and authenticity, emphasizing the importance of staying true to his roots and his crew ('Dediquei lealdade a quem é do meu bonde'). The mention of 'Rua 511' and disdain for superficial symbols of success like 'lean' and 'Hennessy' further ground his story in a specific cultural context. The song is a testament to the artist's dedication and the sacrifices made to achieve his dreams, all while dealing with envy and obstacles from others ('Toda essa inveja de mim'). '100' is a raw and honest portrayal of the highs and lows of street life, encapsulating the relentless pursuit of success and the personal cost that comes with it.
