Discover the story of the song > Lado B Lado A – O Rappa

The lyrics talk about the protagonist's identity and beliefs. He sees himself as different from others and identifies with Yemanjá, a female deity in Afro-Brazilian religions, rather than Exú, a male deity. He also values his cultural roots and believes in the power of his traditions. The chorus repeats that he is a warrior and a hard worker, facing life's challenges with faith and hoping to stay safe when the "sweeping machine" passes by, meaning when hard times come.
