Feirão Dos 23 (part. Raflow)

Chefin's song 'Feirão Dos 23,' featuring Raflow, delves deep into the harsh realities of street life and the struggles faced by those living in marginalized communities. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the environment, where crime and survival are daily battles. The repeated mention of '23' symbolizes the artist's connection to his roots and the neighborhood that shaped him. This number becomes a badge of honor, representing both pride and the harsh conditions of his upbringing.

Raflow's verses highlight the duality of life in these areas. On one hand, there's a sense of camaraderie and loyalty among friends ('Estúdio na esquina, Da boca e os amigos vendendo'), but on the other, there's the constant presence of danger and crime ('O que eu vejo em volta é o crime nas ruas'). The lyrics also touch on the idea of making a name for oneself despite the odds, with lines like 'Enriqueci minha firma, Mostrei talento e desempenho,' emphasizing the importance of talent and hard work in rising above the circumstances.

Chefin's contribution to the song further emphasizes the gritty reality of street life. His lines are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors, such as 'Pega a rajada de 30, só eco vindo barulhento,' which evoke the sounds and chaos of the streets. The mention of 'Tropa do Mano' and 'Evoque blindada' reflects the influence of gang culture and the need for protection in such an environment. The song also critiques the glamorization of crime, with Chefin stating, 'Tá achando que essa porra é filme,' reminding listeners that the reality is far from the romanticized versions often portrayed in media.

'Feirão Dos 23' is a raw and unfiltered look at the struggles and resilience of those living in tough neighborhoods. It serves as both a testament to the artist's journey and a commentary on the broader social issues affecting these communities.
