There is the blood of our ancestors on the flag

300 horsepower under the hood

I forget all my nightmares on the A16

And our smiles have become machetes

There are terrible stripes on the face

Of my sins who dream of the visa

There is no hope and there is no school

So they sniff cash and acetone

My story is too angry

We know bad luck and false barriers

Independent since 6-2

And it comes out the Opinel for an eye-roller

For a salam the vices are as fast as RS

Memories come back and luck has fled us

And nightmares aren't just at night

Maybe a little lost and a little paranoid

We lacked everything but we didn't say a word

And the smoke makes our dreams disappear

Khey, here we are rude

Noon-midnight, these are our hours

We do it for the family like in Napoli

Maybe a little lost and a little paranoid

We lacked everything but we didn't say a word

And the smoke makes our dreams disappear

Khey, here we are rude

Noon-midnight, these are our hours

We do it for the family like in Napoli

The idiot is solid, without papers like Tony

Mafia like italiano, Dzayer, it's Napoli

Mama told me, 'don't end up like all these bandits'

For her, I'm the best

Dirty hands you won't be able to wash them anymore

You're going to die in the middle

Four balls, four hoods, four rings

But they didn't do it for fun

You ran away from the reaper mi hermano

She ended up visiting you

DZ, my blood is boiling

We dreamed of a fucking million

We did it

Maybe a little lost and a little paranoid

We lacked everything but we didn't say a word

And the smoke makes our dreams disappear

Khey, here we are rude

Noon-midnight, these are our hours

We do it for the family like in Napoli

Maybe a little lost and a little paranoid

We lacked everything but we didn't say a word

And the smoke makes our dreams disappear

Khey, here we are rude

Noon-midnight, these are our hours

We do it for the family like in Napoli

sins-cou — cousins

Sins-cou is a slang term, a verlan (French argot where syllables are inverted) of the word "cousins". It literally means "cousins" but carries a street-level, familiar connotation.

In the context of the song, ASHE 22 uses it to refer to his close friends or associates, emphasizing the strong, familial bonds within his community. The line "De mes sins-cou qui rêvent du visa" (Of my cousins who dream of a visa) highlights their shared struggles and aspirations, making this slang term particularly evocative and relevant to the song's narrative about life in the streets and dreams of a better future.

"Napoli" is ASHE 22's tribute to growing up in a rough, working-class neighborhood, drawing a direct line between his own streets and the Naples of Italian mafia films.

The verses paint a picture of hardship: a fast car as an escape, nightmares on the highway, friends who "reflect cash and acetone" instead of going to school, and a family history marked by run-ins with the law and lost hope. Through it all, loyalty to the people who came up together stays the one constant.

The hook, "we do it for the family, like in Napoli," ties it together: whatever the risks, the crew does it for each other, the same code of honor and danger the artist associates with the Neapolitan mafia. It is a song about survival, brotherhood, and never forgetting where you're from.
