Conigliette literally means "little bunnies" or "bunny girls." While it can refer to actual small rabbits, in the context of this song, it's a clear reference to "Playboy bunnies" or attractive women.
Artie 5ive uses this word to paint a picture of a lavish, party-filled lifestyle, asking for "conigliette" to be brought to his room. It's an interesting word choice that immediately evokes a specific image of luxury and indulgence, making it memorable and enticing for a learner.
Artie 5ive says the word davvero (really) twenty-five times across this song, which is what you do when you are arguing with someone who is not in the room. "Yo, l'abbiamo fatto davvero, davvero / Anche se non ci prendevi sul serio" (Yo, we really did it, really / Even though you didn't take us seriously) is the hook, and the person being answered never gets a name. The proof comes out the way you would list it to a doubter: "Ormai da tempo non prendo la metro" (I haven't taken the subway in a long time), "Ti passo a prendere sopra un Mercedes" (I'll come pick you up in a Mercedes). Then he undercuts himself one line later with "Anche se non ho manco la patente, okay" (Even though I don't even have a licence, okay), which is the funniest moment on the track.
Underneath the flexing the song keeps circling back to people who are not there to watch it happen. "Mamma mi guarda da sopra uno schermo" (Mom watches me from over a screen) puts his own mother at the far end of a phone, and "Chi se n'è andato ci guarda dal cielo / Prega per noi che restiamo all'inferno" (Those who left watch over us from the sky / Pray for us who stay behind in hell) draws the line he is standing on. The most honest bar is a question, not a boast: "Ancora mi chiedo se certe cose me le merito / O sogno con gli occhi aperti" (I still wonder whether I deserve certain things / Or whether I'm dreaming with my eyes open). Repeat a word enough and it starts to sound less like a fact and more like a wish.
Artie 5ive is Ivan Arturo Barioli, born in Milan in 2000 to a family from Sierra Leone. He raps about the city he came up in and the money that got him out of it, usually in the same breath.
His first album, Aspettando la bellavita, reached number 8 in Italy in 2023 and went double platinum. Two years later La bellavita went straight to number 1 and triple platinum, and in between he and Rondodasosa put out Motivation 4 the Streetz together. If you know one thing of his it is probably "Cadillac", the Boro single he features on that went to number 1, or "Top G" with Sacky.
