Eu Sou (âI Amâ) is WDâs powerful declaration of Black pride and self-love. The chorus repeats âEu sou a voz da resistĂȘncia pretaâ â âI am the voice of Black resistanceâ â reminding listeners that his very existence pushes back against racism, colorism, and homophobia. WD tells a personal story: a childhood marked by abuse, abandonment, and the pressure to fit white beauty standards. Yet the turning point comes when he learns to love himself. From that moment, âeverything started to work out.â
The verses flip pain into empowerment. WD celebrates every feature that society tried to shame: âYour nose is beautiful, Black⊠your hair is beautiful, Black.â The song invites anyone who has ever felt rejected to raise their own flag of resistance, believe in their worth, and shout âEu sou!â By blending rap, melody, and affirmations, WD crafts an anthem that boosts confidence while teaching us vocabulary for identity, resilience, and pride.
