My mother's crying but I don't notice, hey, hey
The sacrifices, yeah I remember them, no I don't forget 'em, hey
I'm putting another stone on it
Don't give a f*ck about this money, I burn another bill, hey
My boys are on coke
I've been missing you too long and this isn't good, hey
When we grow up, yeah, we want to survive
I don't trust these damn vipers, hey
I always push myself to the limit
I live this life, waiting for who's coming to kill me
But if you pass by we don't even look
They don't know, only we know
She calls but I don't call back
They shoot at me, I take cover
Hands on my face again tonight
Kids on the street with broken heads
I'm a bit high, taking blurry pictures
I smoke three grams and I don't cough
I think back to before
I look at myself now, hey
It's already morning
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since hanging outside of school, I've come a long way
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not here with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was on the court something's changed
All the nights I hoped for this, yay
But what do you know about it, hey
This city feels as tight as my jeans
Baby you look better without leggings, hey
In this game I'm taking up space
If a brother falls I'm there to pick him up
I work up the courage and go
I get up when I fall
Even if I don't speak you understand loud and clear, hey
Another round, no ice
Another hit then I get high
I hope I make it today, hey
Nobody cries for me
I've taken kicks and thrown punches
I wasted time with you
You touch the hands of these scumbags that shook mine
But in my head I already had plans, I had all the routes
So f*cking look at me now, yay
On a wire with stilts, yay
They're waiting for me to fall
But if I get up you won't get up again
I moved whoever was in front, with all the struggle
Now paying crowds everywhere, we're upping the earnings
Big cars, like the big shots
I come out of the jungle without a scratch
I think back to before
I look at myself now, hey
It's already morning
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since hanging outside of school, I've come a long way
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not here with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was on the court something's changed
All the nights I hoped for this, yay
But what do you know about it

trampolistilts

Trampoli translates to "stilts". It's an interesting and somewhat unusual word to find in a rap song, making it stand out.

In the lyrics, Capo Plaza sings, "Sopra un filo con i trampoli" (On a wire with stilts). This imagery powerfully conveys a sense of precarious balance and high-stakes risk, illustrating the dangerous and challenging path he navigates in his life and career.

In "Forte E Chiaro," which translates to "Loud and Clear," Capo Plaza paints a vivid picture of his journey from a difficult past to a successful present. He repeatedly contrasts his life before with his life now, reflecting on the sacrifices he remembers and the tough streets he came from. The lyrics describe a world that is "hell, not a walk in the park," filled with street fights and struggles for survival. He is a survivor, emerging from "the jungle without a scratch."

Now, things have changed. He talks about his success with images of big cars and rising earnings, defiantly telling everyone to "look at me now." Despite his success, there's a sense of toughness and distrust. He pushes himself to the limit and doesn't trust the "vipers" around him. The song is a powerful declaration of overcoming hardship, a message delivered, as the title suggests, loud and clear.
