Trajado de Lacoste

MC Ruzika's 'Trajado de Lacoste' is a song that delves into themes of personal transformation, material success, and the defiance of adversity. The Brazilian artist, known for his work in the funk genre, uses the brand Lacoste as a symbol of his rise from humble beginnings to a position of wealth and status. The repeated line 'Eu tô trajado de Lacoste' (I'm dressed in Lacoste) serves as a declaration of this newfound success, contrasting his past with his present lifestyle.

The lyrics speak to a journey from a life of struggle, represented by 'tocava os bode' (herding goats), to one where he is now 'tocando os robocop' (dealing with the police), suggesting a past involved with petty crimes that has evolved into more significant encounters with law enforcement. The song's narrative is one of resilience and ambition, as MC Ruzika describes his determination to rise above his circumstances, achieve his dreams, and enjoy the finer things in life, such as expensive jewelry and luxury shopping sprees.

The song also touches on themes of authenticity and perseverance. MC Ruzika emphasizes his dedication to his craft as an MC, his desire to prove doubters wrong, and his commitment to staying true to himself despite the temptations of a 'fictitious world.' The references to 'sangue frio mente fria' (cold blood, cold mind) and 'fé e sabedoria' (faith and wisdom) suggest a strategic and thoughtful approach to life's challenges, reinforcing the idea that his success is not just material but also intellectual and spiritual.
