Drugs

Teto's song 'Drugs' delves into themes of success, envy, and resilience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of his journey from the North to the South, metaphorically carrying 'drugs'—a symbol of his hustle and the burdens he bears. The repeated mention of 'invejosos cairão um por um' (envious people will fall one by one) underscores his determination to overcome those who wish him ill. The reference to 'Ogum,' a deity in Afro-Brazilian religions known for protection and warfare, suggests that Teto sees himself as a warrior, ready to defend his success and eliminate obstacles in his path.

The song also explores the isolation that often accompanies success. Teto describes seeing 'cometas' (comets) from his 'espaçonave' (spaceship), a metaphor for his elevated status and unique perspective. However, he also notes that not everyone can join him on this journey, highlighting the loneliness and separation from those who cannot keep up. This is further emphasized when he mentions someone 'perdido no espaço' (lost in space), pleading for mercy, indicating that not everyone can handle the pressures and responsibilities that come with his lifestyle.

Material success and loyalty to his 'irmãos' (brothers) are recurring themes. Teto mentions his 'drip' and luxury brands like VLONE and Balmain, signifying his financial achievements. Yet, he remains grounded in his commitment to his friends and family, willing to 'saco a peça sem pensar duas vezes' (pull the piece without thinking twice) to protect them. The song concludes with a hopeful note, repeating 'fica bem' (stay well), suggesting that despite the challenges and adversaries, Teto remains optimistic and focused on his goals, always striving to be 'número um' (number one).
