[Refrão]
In this chorus, Plutonio reflects on his life journey, emphasizing the hard work and relentless effort he has put in to achieve his dreams. He compares his struggle to running like a slave just to be able to walk with the dignity and confidence of a king. Addressing his mother, he expresses his pride in reaching a place where he can finally feel this strength and fulfillment.

[Verso 1]
Plutonio opens up about distancing himself from things that once took his peace. He’s focused on making money but sees it as a tool rather than something that defines him. He has goals and a deep belief in God to guide him. He admits moments of self-doubt, remembering childhood friends who’ve either been lost to prison or passed away. There’s sadness in his voice, but he keeps moving forward, carrying their memories with him while staying grounded by his past.

[Bridge]
The bridge repeats the call to his mother, expressing the pride and strength he feels in reaching a point where he can metaphorically “walk like a king.” It’s a reminder of his roots and what he has overcome, connecting his journey to his family and sense of identity.

[Verso 2]
Plutonio talks about his rough childhood but highlights how he persevered and succeeded. Despite having seen the world, he remains connected to his roots in BCV (Cape Verde). He reflects that even when someone leaves a tough environment, it leaves a lasting impact. Many who supported him early on were not there when times got tough, so he often kept his thoughts to himself to stay focused. Plutonio acknowledges the struggles of past generations, realizing that his journey is part of a larger legacy. He recalls feeling lost but driven by a vision, knowing he had only a slim chance of success. This verse is a powerful reflection of his pride in his heritage, his past struggles, and his achievement against great odds.

His persistence and hard work are highlighted once more, capturing the sense of fulfillment he feels in finally “walking like a king.” It’s both a personal statement of resilience and a tribute to those, especially his mother, who have supported him along the way.

[Outro]
In the outro, Plutonio shares a few life lessons, noting that success comes with understanding failure and that keeping up with him requires effort. He emphasizes that darkness often comes before dawn, meaning challenges precede success. Again, he calls to his mother, underscoring his triumph in achieving a state of peace and strength where he can “walk like a king,” ending on a powerful note of victory and resilience.
