Ever wondered what it's like to be a famous rapper? In "Chi Vuole Essere Fabri Fibra?," which translates to "Who Wants to Be Fabri Fibra?," the artist gives us a surprisingly honest look into the pressures of his own life. He repeatedly asks the title's question, suggesting that maybe being a star isn't as glamorous as it seems. He lists his anxieties one by one: waiting for his paycheck, feeling avoided by people on TV, and having a girlfriend who isn't a "diva." It all adds up to a feeling of being trapped, like "living in an hourglass."

This song is a powerful look at the two sides of fame. Fabri Fibra questions whether his stage persona has ruined his life or saved it. He touches on the loneliness that comes with public life, where one small mistake can make your followers disappear, and even your country might turn its back on you. In the end, he gives his respect not to the successful, but to the people who struggle and know how to handle defeat when nothing seems to go right. It's a raw and relatable track about the challenges we all face, famous or not.
