Perguntam Como Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, Plutonio sets the tone by explaining his approach to life. He says a true “malandro” (street-smart person) doesn’t make promises or speak much—keeping things low-key. His actions speak louder than words. He’s only focused on what’s his responsibility, and if the conversation turns to competition or challenges, he believes it’s not worth engaging in. His confidence lies in doing what’s necessary without needing to prove anything to others, staying grounded and staying out of unnecessary drama.

[Refrão]
In the chorus, Plutonio responds to the question, “How?”—referring to how he’s been on top for so long. People are curious about his success and want to know the secret, especially women who desire to be part of his world. They want to understand his lifestyle, but he remains mysterious, focusing on what he has rather than explaining how he achieved it.

[Verso 1]
Plutonio reflects on his elevated status, saying that at the top, only he is the true owner of the throne. He’s living in a different world, far beyond the average person’s reach. He uses metaphors like “black belt” to signify his strength and expertise, and “back of the sun” to show how he’s untouchable. Despite his success, he remains unimpressed by others. If someone wants to leave or walk away, he doesn’t pressure them. He even questions how he made it this far, acknowledging that his success was meant to be. He attributes his rise to divine favor and his focus, recognizing that if he had listened to doubts, he might have settled for less. But now, with power comes the responsibility of leadership.

[Refrão]
Once again, the chorus repeats the question “How?” reflecting the continued curiosity surrounding his prolonged success and power. Plutonio notes how people around him want to taste the lifestyle he’s achieved, with women trying to sit at the “throne” next to him, while others wish they could share in the fruits of his labor. But the mystery of how he reached this point remains.

[Verso 2]
In the second verse, Plutonio talks about his origins and the struggles he faced. He came from humble beginnings, dealing with racism and prejudice because of his skin color. He also witnessed people changing sides and betraying their own values for status. Despite the hardships, he rose, taking on the responsibility of inspiring and leading others. He talks about the weight of his success, including the luxuries like driving a black Mercedes and signing high-paying contracts. He’s reached a level of power where his every move is calculated, and his success is like checkmate in a game. The verse also emphasizes his pride in his appearance and accomplishments, but he’s aware that his success might annoy some.

[Refrão]
In the chorus, the question “How?” still lingers. People continue to wonder how Plutonio has remained at the top, and his success is seen as something they want to emulate. Women and others want to experience the life he leads, showing their desire to be part of his world, but the mystery remains.

[Outro]
In the outro, the song ends with a repeated reminder of Plutonio’s philosophy: a true “malandro” doesn’t talk much or make promises. He does what he’s meant to do and doesn’t engage in meaningless drama. The outro reinforces his focus on action rather than words, staying committed to his path without needing validation or explanation. The repetition of these lines brings the song full circle, leaving listeners with the idea that Plutonio’s success is not a fluke but the result of staying true to his own principles and doing what he knows is necessary.
