Pode ser verdade, mas também serve como simbologia.

O dia de seu nascimento foi marcado com o dia da morte de Cristo, e não se via o sol no céu nublado com nuvens de tempestade. O fato de que o dia do nascimento de Thaíde não foi muito auspicioso prenuncia a vida dura e difícil que ele teria.

No terceiro verso, Thaíde faz alusão à música americana “16 tons”. Nessa mesma música, o eu-lírico lamenta a falta de sol no dia em que nasceu:

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine […]
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

Segue a tradução:

Eu nasci numa manhã quando o sol não brilhava,
Eu peguei minha pá e andei até a mina […]
Eu nasci numa manhã, estava chuviscando
“Luta” e “encrenca” são o meu nome do meio

O tropo de começar a contar uma história com “Eu nasci…” é popular em narraçōes pessoais de comunidades oprimidas, especialmente na tradição afroamericana onde o rap dos EUA se encaixa. Essa prática é importante porque ela não somente compartilha a realidade da infância de uma pessoa (“de parto natural”), mas também afirma que Thaíde é uma pessoa, como qualquer outra pessoa, nascido, não criado ou manufaturado. Isso estabelece um nível de igualdade que exige que Thaíde seja tratado como ser humano, digno de respeito.

Thaíde pode parecer bonzinho mas não empresta dinheiro de graça: quem tem dívida com ele tem que pagar o valor original mais juros e correção monetária. Nada de passar ele pra trás!

Dezesseis tonaladas se refere ao trabalho do dia-à-dia de um indivíduo. Isso é uma alusão a uma música Americana muito popular chamada “16 Tons”. Se ouve a melodia de “16 Tons” depois que essa letra é falada, confirmando a referência. O refrão segue…

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don’t you call me, ‘cause I can’t go;
I owe my soul to the company store.

… que traduzido seria…

Você carrega dezesseis toneladas, o que você ganha?
Fica um dia mais velho e mais endividado.
São Pedro, não me chame, porque não posso ir;
Eu devo minha alma à loja da companhia.

Thaíde começa apresentando os seus dois lados: o sensível, emocional, de coração mole, e o vingativo, com cara de mal mesmo. Se deixar, os outros tiram vantagem, então ele tem que se portar como osso duro de roer.

Se alguém por aí quiser mexer com ele achando que ele vai esquecer fácil, está muito enganado. Quem conhece o Thaíde sabe muito bem como ele age contra quem o insulta. Thaíde tem uma reputação e está disposto a defendê-la.

Essa letra serviu de inspiração para sua biografia, Pergunte a Quem Conhece: Thaíde.
