Leo Coast - Glow Up Lyrics

[Intro]
From Leblon to the favela, yeah
They didn't think I had it in me, porra!

[Verse 1]
Started off a rich kid with a dream
They said "playboy can't make funk," know what I mean?
But I felt this beat deep in my soul
Now watch me break down every f*cking wall
From the asphalt to the hill, I paid my dues
Got more rhythm than these haters ever knew
They thought I was fake, called me pretender
Now they're all quiet when I enter

[Chorus]
This is my glow up (Glow up!)
From zero to hero, won't slow up (Won't slow up!)
Started from Leblon, now I'm everywhere (Caralho!)
This is real funk, and I don't care
Watch me glow up (Glow up!)
Got the whole scene showing love (Showing love!)
From the streets to the beats, I proved them wrong
Now they all sing along

[Verse 2]
Met Raquel's crew at the baile one night
They thought I'd run, but I stood up to fight
Dropped bars in the cypher, made them all freeze
Now we're family, f*ck the bourgeoisie
Yeah, I came from money, that's no lie
But funk's in my blood, and that's no alibi
From south zone parties to favela heat
Now every hood knows my name in the street

[Bridge]
They said I couldn't (But I did)
Said I wouldn't (But I did)
Said I shouldn't (But I did)
Look at me now, porra!

[Verse 3]
Not here to fake it or appropriate
Built real connections, now they celebrate
From Vila Kennedy to Rocinha's peak
Every baile bumping when they hear me speak
This ain't about class or where you're from
It's about respect and what you become
Started as an outsider, now I'm in
Got the whole city making this shit spin

[Chorus]
This is my glow up (Glow up!)
From zero to hero, won't slow up (Won't slow up!)
Started from Leblon, now I'm everywhere (Caralho!)
This is real funk, and I don't care
Watch me glow up (Glow up!)
Got the whole scene showing love (Showing love!)
From the streets to the beats, I proved them wrong
Now they all sing along

[Outro]
From Leblon to the favela
Now every hood knows my name, é isso aí
Real recognize real
That's my glow up, porra!
