My revenge is that your sons are listening to my texts
And are dreaming about becoming the one you detest
My mission is to educate them to be rebels
They all want to tackle me just like in rugby
You're giving yourself peace of mind
Mine is at war
And first I told it to my mother and then to Universal
The disc more than Status is The Day The Earth Stood Still1
On the road to the island of Elba
Island the grass
You're throwing rose petals
Because I have a real flow2
Purple weed, orange G
Floral theme
Euros green to purple3
Eurora borealis
For the German cars
Not for the Korean ones
I know that the world isn't to be changed
It's to be governed
I want to look like the man we are spitting at
They are throwing us new vices as food
New crap
And we take all of it like the flu
My colleagues earn thanks to naivety
They deal with personality disorder
Honesty, honesty they teach that in secondary school
Honesty, yes the same one that screwed my relatives!
You're still hoping that the law will make your interest
It's like asking if the stuff is good at who sells it
In my neighborhood we are stony-broke
But there are some green spaces4
They play the sons of the servants
Our people
Area Barona5
You know I live in the front line
And we were all friends before the contracts
Before the money
But the ones who change are the ones
That didn't make it
Between words and deeds I know you chose to betray, infamy
The money creeps me but I like what it can buy
It's been 10 years I no longer do piecework
And 15 years my mother watches Un Posto Al Sole6
Refrain :
I'm a leader
I'm not a boss (x3)
Follow the Leader!
The first rapper of the areas in the high areas
The Trojan horse with the others inside
I rap like if I still should assert myself
On a wrecking ball like Miley
The true luxury for the one who has money
Is not to think about money
What I'm saying annoys you? Why are you listening?
That's right that where nothing glitters I see gold
And me I don't see myself here
I see them
Death at small dose
You can buy everything on credit
My neighborhood outlet of drug
Boss with new dress7
Bossanova
This plays in the videos
And in real life shakes like the joypad
The chicks are stripping because I'm always laying bare
You, on the contrary, have lots of names but you're nobody
They have copied from me so much ideas and so much flows just like that
That I've understood that in rap there's not mine and yours
My fame precedes me
Carry me to the summit I have faith
Willingness wavers but doesn't give up
East side strikes the sun
North side, the Romanian girls prostitutes8
This way much G in salon
All of them around a table like this was the G8
I paint saints
Giotto9
Let's plot, let's put the market on knees
Screw. Traffic. Betray. Steal. Humiliate. Hit. Exploit.
Spend. Flaunt. Spread. Smoke. Drink. Fuck. Use and threw.
This it what sells.
This is what they want.
If this is what wins
This is what they show.
Refrain
No, who can't save the world
Can save you
Friendship is just a click
Honour is just a tattoo
Love is a scoop that makes views
Sell more
I say "Fuck you"
Kind Screw
Kind "Fuck you"
I would like to give them a merry-go-round10 to do what is fairest
But the public detests you when then you reveal them the trick
So cheat on them, fool them
They will love you for this
Less worth has
And higher is the price
You get loans to settle yourself
Clothes you can't afford
Realpolitik, Metternich
With the thirst of filming God with the 7D11
While I ask them to resign
Anger of the centuries
Questions without answers
Because silence is of culprits
Say who, say who, say who has designed this carousel
Say who made this weak
And I see blood on the ties
Say who bet that the country would collapse
And middle-classes without classes
Who allowed it to happen because he intended to be part of it
If you don't know where you're going
Remember you why you started
I don't become what I've always hated
I will remember why I'm doing it
I remember that you have done to us
It reminds me why I'm doing it
For what you've done to us
Revenge
I remember that you have done to us
It reminds me why I'm doing it
For what you've done to us
Revenge, revenge, revenge
1. I found an explanation of this line here : http://genius.com/4595088 . The Marracash record is called "Status", but, by its content and form , it's a sort of an Ultimatum, making it a tribute to the moovie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" whose Italian title is "Ultimatum Alla Terra"2. I think here it is an untranslatable play of words : "flow reale" sounds like "floreale" (floral), which explains the rose petals.3. The 100 euro note is green, the 500 euro note is purple4. Play on words. In Italian, the expression "essere al verde" (to be at the green) means to have no money.5. Border district of Milan6. "A sunny place". Italian TV programme7. "Roba nuova" = new dress or new trend8. http://genius.com/4629927 Play on words : "battere" means to strike but it slang, it also means to prostitute9. Very famous Italian painter of the late middle age10. to make fun of them; to embarrass them11. A Cannon camera
