Não É Sério (part. Negra Li)

Charlie Brown Jr.'s song "Não É Sério (feat. Negra Li)" is a powerful anthem that addresses the struggles and frustrations of Brazilian youth. The repeated refrain, "O jovem no Brasil nunca é levado a sério" (The youth in Brazil are never taken seriously), sets the tone for the song, highlighting a pervasive sense of neglect and misunderstanding from society and the media. The lyrics reflect a deep-seated frustration with how young people are portrayed on television, often dismissed and not given the respect or attention they deserve.

The song delves into personal experiences of feeling unheard and marginalized. The lines "Sempre quis falar / Nunca tive chance / Tudo que eu queria / Estava fora do meu alcance" (I always wanted to speak / Never had the chance / Everything I wanted / Was out of my reach) express a sense of longing and missed opportunities. This sentiment is further emphasized by the acknowledgment of systemic issues, such as police harassment and media scrutiny, which contribute to the alienation of the youth. The mention of drug use and the subsequent judgment from society underscores the lack of understanding and support for the struggles faced by young people.

Negra Li's contribution to the song adds another layer of depth, emphasizing the need for unity and revolution. The repeated call for a "Revolução na sua mente" (Revolution in your mind) and "Revolução na sua vida" (Revolution in your life) serves as a rallying cry for young people to take control of their destinies and challenge the status quo. The song ultimately advocates for change, urging the youth to unite and fight against the systemic issues that hinder their progress. It is a poignant reminder of the resilience and potential of young people, despite the obstacles they face.
