Il solito italiano [English translation]

Time passes, I was thinking of going far away

And instead I'll stay the same forever, a usual Italian

I have a song in my head, and a dream shut in my head

And instead I'll stay the same for ever, the only Italian

Like I never know what's been

And someone like me

Yes someone like me

It feels to me like I have respect for people different to you

"ulia scappu de qquai puru ca è bellu qquai

si ma quandu te nn ai ede megghiu de qquai"

It's different if you're born in

2015, not the (19)30s

Playin' "Lalala"

Don't call me black

My country has too many taxes

Tight times with high heels and latex

Too many robberies at the supermarket

Too many rappers

Too many dreams, not enough money

It's the opposite of Obama

"Yes We Can"

No he can't

"No we can't"

Concussion

It's the end of the week

"Yes, Weekend!"

Very soon

Bring money and escape to the east

Quick, mirror mirror,

I predict a foolish show at the EXPO

Here's the Italian style

Non like the romances

I don't dance the tango

"Eat the pasta, drink the wine"

But don't call me white

(Jamaican Patois/English)

See they try to waste everything

They're afraid of my skin (colour)

You could was your face

(but) you're heart will never be clean

For every fucking problem keep on pointing the finger at me

You think you've got the solution

You steal my voice

I'm gonna bring it to the nation

I'm gonna push it to the stereo
