MALAVITA Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro talks about how a good life can’t really exist without the tough or bad side of life. When the artist tells his brother to watch out or aim, it’s like a warning to be careful. There’s a sense of silence, not saying anything to avoid trouble. The beat coming from Ddusi is promised to be strong, setting the mood for what’s about to come.

[Strofa]
Here, the artist takes us back to memories from a long time ago, describing his life with rich, vivid images. He mentions his mother wearing traditional clothes, showing his roots and culture, but his life is messy and complicated like a “patatrac,” something chaotic. He compares himself starting low, like a worm, but climbing high like a skyscraper—showing his rise from humble beginnings to something bigger. Some rappers try to challenge him, but he feels above them, confident. He carries guns like a character from a movie (Morpheus from The Matrix), showing how dangerous and ready he is. He talks about seeing a young girl with perfect skin and curves, showing a mix of admiration and street-style storytelling.

The artist dresses stylishly, surrounded by friends and smoking, with connections to California’s weed scene. His music is powerful and impactful, like a bullet that leaves holes in people’s heads. Older people doubt him, but younger ones show interest, hinting at respect from the youth despite criticism. He compares his growth to Mowgli from the jungle, raised tough and wild. Living in dangerous neighborhoods costs a lot, and he’s done things like robbing a kid he went to school with, all while wearing a mask to stay unknown. A friend named Nasa spent years in jail for similar reasons, showing the real risks involved.

Dishonest and sneaky people aren’t welcome in their circle, and even God doesn’t forgive people like them, ignoring or judging them harshly. He wears a flashy gold watch as a symbol of success despite everything. The girl he’s with is dangerous and loves guns like a character named Nikita. They enjoy spicy food and moments in the kitchen, recalling how they used to meet in basements before life changed. After a friend’s death, he realizes the situation is serious and real.

He moves around the city, meeting his brother under a building, remembering times before jealousy and fame took over people they knew. Life wasn’t perfect, but it was his own. They took everything from the “hotel,” a metaphor for their territory or place, at the top of their game. His fingers are busy with drügs, but they wrap things up quickly to avoid jail. The main message is that a good life isn’t really good without the bad or dangerous parts, and no matter what happens, the person he cares about belongs only to him.

[Pre-Ritornello]
This part repeats the idea that good life and bad life go together. You can’t get rewards without hard work and struggle. When he tells his brother to watch out, it shows how real the danger is around their home, with police always nearby. There’s a warning to stay quiet because this time they might get caught or taken away. Despite everything, he reminds someone special that they belong only to him, showing loyalty and protection.

[Ritornello]
The chorus brings back the main idea again: life’s good moments come with the bad ones, and nothing comes easy without effort. The brother is always ready to act when told. Police presence is constant near their home, so staying silent is crucial to avoid trouble. Even if they might get taken by the police this time, the artist wants the person he cares about to know they are only his, emphasizing trust and connection amidst the chaos.
