Melhor Agora Lyrics in English Filipe Ret

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Melhor Agora by Filipe Ret from Portuguese to English.
RET
Punching like Ali, rhyming like Ret
Without falling for any vice the world offers
The saint's the one who writes, I just recorded, even me
Since I don't listen to white stuff, I started listening to my rap
Charging myself, I don't accept crumbs
They'll see me flying, that's karma
The baddest, I grew up thinking
If the world belongs to hustlers
I'm gonna make more cash than those guys
Arrow on alert, a thousand meetings
B*tches spread their legs, but they're just illusions
I push forward, the ignorant hunt me
Only brilliant minds go through certain trials
No more, my fuel drives me toward peace
I'm leaving my Glock behind
Let wealth awaken from your solution
The one who pats your head is the one who most
Deep down my mind's sadistic
Sometimes I get confused, but I never lose the practice
Sometimes quiet, paranoid with everyone and everything
Up close everybody's life is dramatic
I'm better now, baby, today we climbed out of the mud
Live the life you love
Today I've got what I didn't have
Love the life you live, yeah

SONG MEANING

Melhor Agora is Filipe Ret’s victory lap, a raw hip-hop confession that traces his journey from street struggles to sky-high aspirations. He compares his punchlines to Muhammad Ali’s punches, showing that every rhyme is a calculated swing against poverty, vice, and the crumbs society once offered him. The rapper refuses to be dazzled by fleeting temptations or empty praise; instead, he keeps his focus on endless meetings, bold decisions, and the quiet determination that only “minds brilhantes” can understand. By dropping his Glock and embracing peace, Ret signals that true power comes from discipline, self-belief, and the courage to outwork every so-called “malandro” chasing quick cash.

The chorus flips the mood from gritty hustle to triumphant celebration. “Tô melhor agora” becomes a mantra of self-love and gratitude: he’s no longer stuck in the mud, he finally “has what he never had,” and he urges listeners to love the life they live. Underneath the bravado lies a vivid reminder that everyone’s story is dramatic up close, but resilience and ambition can turn any past into a brighter present. Filipe Ret’s message is simple yet uplifting: stay sharp, dodge illusions, and celebrate every hard-earned step toward a life you truly want.
