[Verse 1: Mahmood]
You talk about your life
As if it was written on the pages of the Quran
Just like you, I
I don't come from Bel Air1, but I was born here
Ask your friends that I've paid
That I did a strange thing to move
From a small church into the Top 10
Without a convertible or a dad
Mothers scream in chorus
Alone outside penitentiaries
Fathers without work
Looking for life under house arrest
But if you look up high from this garden
The moon seems like a sapphire lost in the dark
[Pre-chorus: Mahmood]
On the roofs the moonlight
Shines like Shanghai
You see it too
Up from this neighbourhood
My God, my God, my God
And the more you watch it, the more you come to pray
My God, my God, my God
The moon from a public house2
[Chorus: Mahmood]
The moon from a public house
The moon from a public house
[Bridge 1: Massimo Pericolo]
Good, bro, put Google Maps on
Fly away from your city
Anti-trap police
Holy Mary full of crack
[Verse 2: Massimo Pericolo]
In the area I'm more famous than Drake
If my life is a movie, yours is a remake
I have an extra gear because the new car has six
I've got more money than mine, fuck all these fakes (Eh-eh)
And they said I'd lose my head
But with joints I only burned my sweatshirt
Everything's changed except me (Yeah-yeah)
Everything changed except me (Yeah-yeah)
I read it on your face that we're alike
We're always on guard like those who box
If you're normal, they look at you strange
But I'll make millions like "Polo Nord"3
They told us: "Ask and you shall receive"
But not that the more you give, the more they ask of you
The only light in the dark is a shot
But you're not the only one who has a Glock
[Pre-chorus: Mahmood]
On the roofs the moonlight
Shines like Shanghai
You see it too
Up from this neighbourhood
My God, my God, my God
And the more you watch it, the more you come to pray
My God, my God, my God
The moon from a public house
[Chorus: Mahmood]
The moon from a public house
The moon from a public house
[Bridge 2: Massimo Pericolo & Mahmood]
Working is horrible, bro, I either rap or deal drugs
I do my manicure this way so I scratch my dick
I got myself to the slammer, you worked your ass off
But in fact we both have jack shit in our hands
If they ask you what you want to do when you grow up
Answer: "It's enough for me to have the balls to
Make the right choices, if you mess up with places and people"
More than from the Grammys, I'll hear you from a call center
[Outro: Mahmood]
My God, my God, my God
And the more you watch it, the more you come to pray
My God, my God, my God
The moon from a public house
The moon from a public house
The moon from a public house
