Lyrics
I know you think you get it
The listener believes they understand
You think you really do
Confident in their understanding
But do you really get it?
Questioning the depth of understanding
I don't think you do oo oo
Expressing doubt in the listener's comprehension
I'll tell you one more time, where I'm from, where I'm from
Reiterating the origin once
I'll tell you two more times, where I'm from, where I'm from
Repeating the origin twice
I'll tell you three more times, where I'm from, where I'm from
Repeating the origin thrice
I know you're sick of hearing it but I don't really care
Unconcerned about listener fatigue
My dad is from Bahia and my mom is Capixaba
Stating parental origins: Bahia and Capixaba
In Brazil we have a fruit it's called Jabuticaba
Highlighting a Brazilian fruit called Jabuticaba
I'll spit some random facts and words remind you that I'm braba
Asserting cultural knowledge and pride
Don't ask me to be subtle about my identity
Refusing to downplay identity
You're not the first to say it
Listener's comment not original
I've heard it long before
Long-standing familiarity with comments
Some think I'm overstating
Belief in more to express
But I've got so much more
Abundance of cultural richness
I'll tell you one more time, where I'm from, where I'm from
Reiterating the origin once
I'll tell you two more times, where I'm from, where I'm from
Repeating the origin twice
I'll tell you three more times, where I'm from, where I'm from
Repeating the origin thrice
I know you're sick of hearing it but I don't really care
Unconcerned about listener fatigue
My dad is from Bahia and my mom is Capixaba
Stating parental origins: Bahia and Capixaba
In Brazil we have a fruit it's called Jabuticaba
Highlighting a Brazilian fruit called Jabuticaba
I'll spit some random facts and words remind you that I'm braba
Asserting cultural knowledge and pride
Don't ask me to be subtle about my identity
Refusing to downplay identity
Brazilian New Jersey princess was my aim account
Describing an online persona
If you know you know exactly what I'm talking about
Referencing shared knowledge among some
Shout out to my newark zillians who are really proud
Recognizing and acknowledging hometown pride
You know we're something extra cause we're always standing out
Emphasizing uniqueness and distinction
My dad is from Bahia and my mom is Capixaba
Stating parental origins: Bahia and Capixaba
In Brazil we have a fruit it's called Jabuticaba
Highlighting a Brazilian fruit called Jabuticaba
I'll spit some random facts and words remind you that I'm braba
Asserting cultural knowledge and pride
My dad is from Bahia and my mom is Capixaba
Stating parental origins: Bahia and Capixaba
In Brazil we have a fruit it's called Jabuticaba
Highlighting a Brazilian fruit called Jabuticaba
I'll spit some random facts and words remind you that I'm braba
Asserting cultural knowledge and pride
Don't ask me to be subtle about
Refusal to diminish identity
Ask me to be subtle about
Challenging the expectation of subtlety
Ask me to be subtle about my identity
Reiteration of refusal to downplay identity
