Infami is a plural noun derived from "infame," meaning infamous or villainous. In Italian street slang, it refers to "snitches" or "traitors" – people who are disloyal or inform on others.
In the context of Rondodasosa's song, it immediately sets a gritty, distrustful tone, highlighting the harsh realities and betrayals faced in the "strada" (street). It's a powerful word that captures the essence of the song's themes of loyalty and survival.
Rondodasosa's "Ragazzi Di Strada" translates to "Street Kids," and this song is a raw look into that world. The lyrics describe a life where lessons are learned on the streets, not in a classroom, and where trauma sticks to you like glue. Rondodasosa paints a picture of a fast-paced, high-risk lifestyle, speeding at 220 km/h and navigating a world full of untrustworthy people, or infami. He warns that success brings its own problems, like fake friends who were only interested in money and women who are only after his wealth.
Despite the dangers, the song is also a declaration of survival and success. Rondodasosa contrasts his difficult past with his luxurious present, mentioning his new Nikes, Canada Goose jacket, and his powerful position in the business world, where he moves like a shark. He sees himself as a leader who has overcome betrayal and the "cursed life of a singer" to make it. It's a story about the high price of fame and the harsh realities of a life learned on the streets.
