He's taking everything
And there's no collateral

The approach to anabolic steroids is not new in the discography of the former member of Bonde da Stronda.
In 2020, the artist had already released the single "Veneno", whose content directly explores the consumption of chemical compounds in bodybuilding:
I do what I want
I take what I want
I train what I want
I don't give away the secret (...)
From afar it seems like we're crazy
If the dose is high, I want some more
After that clearing my throat, I became more hoarse
What runs through my veins is monster blood
