Description
It's as if someone grew up too fast, not because they wanted to, but because they had no other choice. Yesterday he was still standing by the school fence with a ball, today he's juggling fear, fate, and a couple of bills that still don't fill the emptiness. The city presses down with its concrete shoulders, but from beneath them, a fierce determination still breaks thru – the very thing that keeps you from falling, even when you're shaking with exhaustion. The music smells like asphalt after rain and hands reeking of cigarets and pretend victories. Each blow is a reminder that you pay for every step not with money, but with time, nerves, and sometimes friends. But there's a strange beauty in that too, when you survive out of spite, when you're standing on the edge of an abyss on shaky legs and still looking up.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Mia madre piange ma non me ne accorgo, ehi, ehi
I sacrifici sì che li ricordo, no non me lo scordo, ehi
Ci metto un'altra pietra sopra
Fotte di 'sti soldi, brucio un'altra banconota, ehi
Raga sotto con la coca
Manchi già da troppo e non va bene questa cosa, ehi
Noi da grandi sì vogliamo sopravvivere
Non mi fido di 'ste quattro vipere, ehi
Io mi spingo sempre al limite
Vivo questa vita, aspetto chi mi viene a uccidere, yah
Ma se passi manco ci guardiamo
Non lo sanno, solo noi sappiamo
Questa chiama ma non la richiamo
Spari addosso, mi metto al riparo
Le mani in faccia pure questa notte
Ragazzi in strada con le teste rotte
Sono un po' fatto, faccio foto mosse
Fumo tre grammi e non faccio la tosse
Ripenso a prima, ah
Mi guardo ora, ehi
È già mattina
Ripenso a prima, mi guardo ora
Da quando stavo fuori scuola ne ho fatta di strada
Qua c'è un inferno, non una passeggiata, yay
Ma non ci sei con me
Ripenso a prima, mi guardo ora
Da quando stavo nel campetto qualcosa è cambiato
Tutte le notti che io c'ho sperato, yay
Ma che ne sai te, ehi
Questa città che mi sta stretta come i miei jeans
Baby tu stai meglio senza leggings, ehi
In 'sto gioco prendo spazio
Se cade un fratello sono là che lo rialzo
Prendo coraggio e vado
Mi alzo quando cado
Anche se non parlo tu capisci forte e chiaro, ehi
Altro giro senza ghiaccio
Altro tiro dopo salgo
Spero oggi ce la faccio, ehi
Nessuno piange per me (per me)
Ho preso calci e dato pugni
Ho perso tempo con te (ey)
Tocchi le mani di 'sti infami che hanno stretto le mie
Ma in testa già c'avevo i piani, avevo tutte le vie
E allora cazzo ora guardami, yay
Sopra un filo con i trampoli, yay
Questi aspettano che cado giù
Ma se mi alzo non ti rialzi più
Ho spostato chi c'era davanti, con tutti gli affanni
Mo ovunque paganti, alziamo gli incassi
Le macchine grosse, come quelli grandi
Da dentro la giungla ne esco senza graffi
Ripenso a prima, ah
Mi guardo ora, ehi
È già mattina
Ripenso a prima, mi guardo ora
Da quando stavo fuori scuola ne ho fatta di strada
Qua c'è un inferno, non una passeggiata, yay
Ma non ci sei con me
Ripenso a prima, mi guardo ora
Da quando stavo nel campetto qualcosa è cambiato
Tutte le notti che io c'ho sperato, yay
Ma che ne sai te
English translation
My mother cries but I don't notice, hey, hey
Yes, I remember the sacrifices, no I don't forget, hey
I'll put another stone on it
Fuck this money, I'll burn another note, hey
Guy down there with the coke
You've been missing for too long already and this isn't good, hey
As adults, we want to survive
I don't trust these four vipers, hey
I always push myself to the limit
I live this life, I wait for someone to come and kill me, yah
But if you pass we don't even look at each other
They don't know, only we know
This one calls but I don't call her back
You shoot at me, I take cover
Hands in your face tonight too
Boys on the street with broken heads
I'm a bit stoned, I take blurry photos
I smoke three grams and I don't cough
I think back to before, ah
I look at myself now, hey
It's already morning
I think back to before, I look at myself now
I've come a long way since I was out of school
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not there with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Something has changed since I was on the pitch
All the nights I hoped for it, yay
But what do you know, hey
This city that fits me like my jeans
Baby you look better without leggings, hey
In this game I take up space
If a brother falls I'm there to pick him up
I take courage and go
I get up when I fall
Even if I don't speak you understand loud and clear, hey
Another lap without ice
Another pitch later I go up
I hope I can do it today, hey
Nobody cries for me (for me)
I kicked and punched
I wasted time with you (ey)
Touch the hands of these infamous people who have held mine
But I already had the plans in my head, I had all the ways
So fuck look at me now, yay
Over a wire with stilts, yay
They're waiting for me to fall down
But if I get up you won't get up again
I moved whoever was in front, with all the worries
Now paying people everywhere, let's raise the takings
Big cars, like big ones
From inside the jungle I emerge without a scratch
I think back to before, ah
I look at myself now, hey
It's already morning
I think back to before, I look at myself now
I've come a long way since I was out of school
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not there with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Something has changed since I was on the pitch
All the nights I hoped for it, yay
But what do you know
