MALAVITA (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This part talks about how the singer feels that a good life can’t happen without some kind of crime or risk. He trusts his brother completely—if he tells him to shoot, his brother does it without question. There’s a sense of secrecy and caution, telling everyone to stay quiet because trouble is close. At the same time, there’s a vibe of confidence as the beat drops and he promises to enjoy the moment.

[Verse]
The singer begins by remembering his past, comparing it to the strong, old baobab tree that stands for deep roots and history. His mom wears traditional clothes, showing a connection to culture, but his life is complicated and messy. He describes himself as a “hot potato,” meaning people don’t want to deal with his problems. He started from nothing, like a tiny worm, but is now climbing high like a skyscraper, showing ambition and growth. Others in the rap scene try to challenge him, but he feels he’s on a whole other level. He carries pistols like a character from a movie, showing he lives in a dangerous world.

He talks about trying to connect with a young girl online who’s very attractive. The singer describes himself as stylish and confident, wearing expensive clothes. Next to him is his friend rolling a joint, and they’re drinking and smoking, living a fast and risky life. His weed is strong and powerful, leaving a big impact. Some older people call him worthless, but he’s confident, even getting attention from a younger woman. He compares his growth to Mowgli, the jungle kid, growing up tough among the wolves, meaning he’s learning to survive in a harsh environment.

He admits to robbing someone he knew from school, showing how close relationships can turn dangerous. Everyone hides behind masks, not trusting each other. A friend went to prison for similar crimes. The singer says that dishonest people aren’t welcome in his world, and even God doesn’t forgive people like them—they’re on their own. He wears a flashy gold watch that shines bright, showing off success. He talks about a girl who loves guns, hinting at danger and excitement.

They eat in a kitchen now but used to meet in secret places like cellars, showing how their lives have changed but remain risky. After someone close named Rais died, he realized their lifestyle is very real and dangerous. He takes public transport and meets his brother in secret spots. He reflects on past jealousy and relationships gone wrong. Life wasn’t easy or perfect, but it was his own. They once stole everything from a hotel’s top floor, showing their boldness. He works hard, pushing through challenges, trying to avoid getting caught and ending up in jail. He believes a good life is impossible without crime and wants to keep his close ones loyal no matter what happens.

[Pre-Chorus]
This part repeats the idea that a good life can’t come without crime and hard work. He trusts his brother to act quickly and follow his commands. The police are close by, making the situation tense. They have to stay silent to avoid trouble. There’s a real fear that this time they might get caught, but despite everything, he reminds someone important that they belong to him, showing deep loyalty and connection.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the strong belief that crime is part of living well and that rewards only come through effort, even if it’s dangerous or illegal. His brother is ready to act on his orders without hesitation. The police are nearby, which makes things risky, so they must keep quiet. There’s a feeling of living on the edge, with the possibility of being taken away by the law. Still, through all this danger and silence, the singer wants the person he cares about to remember they are his, showing a mix of protectiveness and possession.
