How many I've seen down here
How many I've seen down here
Getting old because there are no means
They abandon their projects
Boredom kills you, I dodged the bullets
Instead of making money in arcades, they get into debt
Sicilian, baby, Don is a sign of respect
The first punch I took was training
I was a smart kid with blood in my head
I felt different, if I stayed home I cried
And everything felt tight to me, not just the buildings
My parents didn't sleep together, they weren't happy
I hit my father despite his sacrifices
And I refuse child support so I don't have to fake smiles
And my bro got arrested for stealing them around
Where you think the bad guys are is where I used to sleep
We shared our troubles under a gray sky
When we drive around the city
I remember us as kids sitting outside the bar
I still have the same bros
Now instead the little ones look at us like stars
Many from the past haven't changed their lives
Still, if I pass by, we always call each other 'life'
And don't call me to see each other, I've never seen you as real
I don't believe in love and with you it was love at first sight
These girls write to us and know nothing about us
Problems in my head and at home since I was in the cradle
Who knows if Sicily destroyed me, down here it's a jungle
And I'm not talking about the street, that has nothing to do with it
And I remember the 50cc mopeds even though I never rode them
I swerved too often and we were a bit lost
Sometimes I think of mom with a depressed son
Who maybe still believes because she hasn't lost him yet
And I remember the nights on the street, I didn't go home
I didn't think about the future, I lived day by day
Maybe it was better before, but then something changed
Unfortunately, or fortunately, and luck wasn't there
Shine a light on me when I'm in the dark
We dance broken under this full moon
Kiss me on the neck while I'm half-naked
Then sleep on my money when they say: 'sold out'
When we drive around the city
I remember us as kids sitting outside the bar
I still have the same bros
Now instead the little ones look at us like stars
Many from the past haven't changed their lives
Still, if I pass by, we always call each other 'life'
And don't call me to see each other, I've never seen you as real
I don't believe in love and with you it was love at first sight
