Below, I translated the lyrics of the song The Message by BoomDaBash from Italian to English.
This is the message

Ehi, (?), Roll it up

Tie cerchi na vita
You're looking for a life
Quidda cchiu fore de capu
The one that's most out of your mind
Te scierri de l'amici
You forget your friends
Appena giri l'isolato
As soon as you turn the block
Te pigghi na passione ca nu t'ha mai interessatu
You pick up a passion that never interested you
E parli de problemi ca nu t'hannu mai tuccatu
And you talk about problems that never touched you
Ci ssaggi sapuritu sempre subbra lu palatu
If you taste something savory always on your palate
Quandu ssaggi lu maru te truei mutu impreparatu
When you taste the bitter, you find yourself very unprepared
Ed ogne cosa è vita sulu quandu tie nci criti
And everything is life only when you believe in it
Lu salentinu miu lu sannu puru a New York City
My Salento dialect, they even know it in New York City
