Bankok Meaning & Lyrics (Mc Hariel | Vitinho Rb)
Mc Hariel describes the struggles and dreams of life in the favela: ‘To change your life, that’s the dream of my people.’ The verses highlight designer brands, bullet scars, and a coded slang that speaks to the community’s identity. Vitinho RB adds flair with references to luxury cars and fast money.
Oportunidade na favela ainda é poucoThere’s still not much opportunity in the favela,
Riqueza na mente de quem quer fazer um trocowealth is in the mind of those who want to make a score.
É mudar de vida, esse é o sonho do meu povoTo change your life, that’s the dream of my people.
E tô fazendo grana e o governo é só desgostoAnd I’m making cash, while the government is just a disappointment.
Pela minha quadrilha, eu dou minha vida, eu tô dispostoFor my crew, I’d give my life, I’m ready for it.
E todos perreco que passamo, tô com o torroAfter all the trouble we went through, now I’ve got the stacks.
Preto rico estiloso, preto rico muito novoA stylish, rich black man, a rich black man who’s way too young.
Tô longe do crime, só de Gucci eu tô um nojoI’m far from the criminal life, just in my Gucci, I look filthy rich.
Vem de artes marciais que eu vou de SIG SauerYou can come with martial arts, but I’ll come with a SIG Sauer.
O time da gerente é o mesmo do Tag HeuerThe management’s crew is the same one wearing the Tag Heuers.
Pé na giratória, na frequência, fita dadaFoot on the revolving door, on the same wavelength, the plan is a go.
0800 arrancando os caixa da agência bancáriaAn easy job, ripping the ATMs right out of the bank.
Grifes no meu corpo, umas cicatriz de tiroDesigner brands on my body, a few bullet scars.
Bati de frente com a morte, mas gracas a Deus tô vivoI came face to face with death, but thank God I’m alive.
24horas, tô online, vou no giroI’m online 24/7, always on the grind.
Um brinde pros guerreiro e que se f#da os zé povinhoA toast to the warriors, and screw all the haters.
E nós tá chique, quem diria?And now we’re fancy, who would’ve thought?
Tá contando a reveria Racionais é mãos capazes meus padrin hierarquiaTelling stories of rebellion, Racionais are the capable hands, my godfathers in this hierarchy.
Nem nós entende nós, Bangkok não explica a gíria eEven we don’t understand ourselves, and ‘Bangkok’ doesn’t explain our slang,
Linguagem codificada, a favela se identificait’s a coded language the favela identifies with.
Ostenta o que posso, a quadrilha é alto escalãoI flex what I can, the crew is top-tier.
Artigo um-cinco-sete tá constando no copomThe call for an ‘Article 157’ robbery is on the police scanner.
Vinte mil nos dente, pente cheio de exposiçãoTwenty grand in my teeth, a full clip out for show.
Zona Sul é lideranca, roletando a marginalThe South Side is in charge, cruising down the freeway.
Divido as ideia com meus truta, dia a dia tá na lutaI share my thoughts with my homies, we’re in the struggle day after day.
Não confio na polícia e mete marcha nas malucaI don’t trust the police, so let’s get on with these crazy plans.
Engrenagem da favela é minha condutaMy actions are the gears that make the favela turn.
Foco no cifrão na frente do Santander, tá na escuta?Focus on the money sign in front of Santander bank, you hear me?
Oh-oh! Ah eu sempre tô! da Norte lá pra SulOh-oh! Ah, I always am! From the North Side down to the South.
De vinte vinte, nós chegouIn a 20/20 car, we’ve arrived.
Fazer barulho, é com nós memo, aê, Vitin, demorouMaking noise, that’s what we do, right, Vitin? Let’s get it.
Fazer barulho, não é volume emocionadoMaking noise isn’t about being loud and emotional.
Faz favor, silêncio e trampoDo me a favor: stay quiet and work.
Nosso time faz recurso sem remorsoOur team makes money without any remorse.
Os osso do ofício muitas vezes são os nossosThe price of doing business is often our own skin.
Meu sonho tem munição, tem motor e brinda os copoMy dream has ammo, an engine, and clinking glasses.
Mas ele não é só meu se por aqui é tudo nossoBut it’s not just my dream if around here, everything is ours.
Otário fica em pane e trava as porta do blindadoThe fool panics and locks the doors of his armored car.
Hoje eu tô no controle, esse comédia é controladoToday I’m the one in control, this clown is being controlled.
Quem vem pra fazer média bate a nave ao quadradoAnyone who tries to just play nice will crash their own ride.
Nós maturando o pano pelo vidro insulfilmadoWe’re scoping out the scene through the tinted windows.
Mais uma vez destaque pros maloca de São PauloAnother shout-out to the hustlers of São Paulo,
Que segue incomodando desde a fita cassetewho’ve been causing trouble since the cassette tape days.
Nós corre dobrado, o passe ta valorizadoWe work twice as hard, so our value keeps going up.
Mais um camisa 10 da safra 1997, 27 na corrida, o foco é a senha do cofreAnother ‘number 10’ from the class of ’97, 27 years old in the race, and my focus is the code to the safe.
A casa pé na areia pra coroa lá no norteA house on the beach for my mom up north.
Malandro faz sua cota e nunca dá asa pra sorteA real hustler makes his own way and never relies on luck.
Empacota e paga a vista é o instinto de BangkokBagging it up and paying in cash, that’s the Bangkok instinct.
Aí, Vitin, forte abraco, é tudo nosso, certo?Yo, Vitin, a big hug, man. It’s all ours, right?
