Daquele jeitão

Valente's 'Daquele jeitão' is a raw and authentic portrayal of life in the streets, particularly in the Zona Norte. The song opens with a humble yet confident introduction, emphasizing respect and discipline. Valente makes it clear that he is not here to step on anyone's toes but to share his story and experiences. This sets the tone for a narrative that is both personal and communal, reflecting the struggles and camaraderie of street life.

The lyrics delve into the daily grind and the hustle of the streets. Valente speaks of the nights spent in the neighborhood, where even the smallest amount of money is stretched to its limit. The imagery of '3 Conto na breja faz 5 no vinho' paints a vivid picture of resourcefulness and the importance of community. The local bar becomes a sanctuary for the 'maloqueiros,' a place where they can find solace and camaraderie. This sense of belonging is further emphasized when Valente mentions that his EP is more affordable than public transportation, making his music accessible to everyone in the community.

Valente also touches on the fashion and style that define his crew. The '12 Mola no pé' and 'listradona fechada' are not just clothing items but symbols of identity and pride. These elements attract attention and respect, especially in the context of the local dance scene where the crew comes together. The song concludes with a powerful message about resilience and faith. Valente asserts that true warriors walk with their heads held high, regardless of the challenges they face. This is a tribute to the strength and spirit of those who navigate the complexities of street life, always ready to support each other and face whatever comes their way.
