Verse 1
I roll through Secondigliano with the jewellery on
Kids outside the building, at the park, playing football or tennis
I threw two paychecks at a stripper's ass
But I didn't post it, otherwise I know you'd get upset
Watches on my wrist, all bought at list price
I remember as a little kid they used to make fun of me
Now I've got everyone's respect, bro, wherever I go
Because I'm still real even though I'm famous
And my brother is in trafficking more than a guard rail is in traffic
In Spain he got it for two, here he'll move it for six
Street mathematics, we're calculators
Dirty money, then washed clean inside bars, washing machines
I've got brothers, not friends, I've got enemies, not opps
I know that if things turn ugly you'll go and call the cops
Here you need balls, but you're a faggot
I'm asking you, please, get out of the way
Chorus 1
You've got no balls, nah, nah
You won't find your balls when you lose them down here
You've got no balls, nah, nah
A Rolex won't save you but a Kalashnikov will
You've got no balls, nah, nah
You won't find your balls if you lose them down here
You've got no balls, nah, nah
A Rolex won't save you, here a Kalashnikov will
Verse 2
Yeah, round here they carve the gravestones before you die
I live where they pull robberies in cars for peanuts
The view is grey, the Panamera is too
Stacks in the suitcase, he's got the ones from up top
The father in 41-bis encourages his son, 'Good boy, study'
Hustle, a brother takes it apart and puts it back together like a puzzle
Money in the grave, in the game, did the hustle (English)
Verse 2
Hey, don't talk like that, you know we'll fill you with holes like a waffle
Richard Mille on the right wrist, a diamond for the left
Huge deal, it doesn't fit inside the money clips
I don't dance in the club
But I go there for a set and with the takings I buy myself
All these rappers' chains, and with the chains still on
Chorus 2
You've got no balls, nah, nah
You won't find your balls when you lose them down here
You've got no balls, nah, nah
A Rolex won't save you but a Kalashnikov will
You've got no balls, nah, nah
You won't find your balls if you lose them down here
You've got no balls, nah, nah
A Rolex won't save you, here a Kalashnikov will
You've got no b-
Hey
The street, the real one (French)
Baby Gang, Gang
Verse 3
Hood, ghetto, bando, I buy a hundred grams and sell it at DD
Hello, speaking, I hear you, they're listening in on us as well
Hood, quick, careful, Kalashnikov in the apartment
Four by four, right behind us
Sese, the plainclothes cops are chasing us
Guys, guys, come on down here
Bring the g-, bring the Kalashnikovs
Nokia, Blackberry, I'm with two black guys
All Burberry, all Versace
I don't shake hands with snitches
I shake your hand for business
Kisses and hugs, say hello to your loved ones
All kinds of trouble, the fuck are you loo-
The fuck are you looking at, don't declare war on me if you have no weapons
White coco bandit, I break it all down into grams
Don't, don't panic if I go around with loaded pieces
I go into the woods and unload them there
Poto, I already know where I'm g-

calcolatricicalculators

Calcolatrici literally translates to "calculators". It's an unexpected word to find in a rap song, making it quite memorable and intriguing.

In the context of the song, Sfera Ebbasta uses it metaphorically to describe himself and his crew as being adept at the "mathematics of the street" – calculating profits from illicit dealings. They are like human calculators, precise and efficient in their street hustle, turning "dirty money" into "clean money" in what he calls "bar lavatrici" (bar washing machines).

The title comes out of one line in Sfera Ebbasta's opening verse: "Matematica di strada, siamo calcolatrici" (Street mathematics, we're calculators). Everything here gets counted. Two paychecks thrown at a stripper, watches bought at list price, a kilo picked up for two in Spain and moved for six back home, dirty money pushed through bars and washing machines: "Soldi sporchi, poi puliti dentro bar lavatrici" (Dirty money, then washed clean inside bars, washing machines). The bragging is arithmetic, and the arithmetic is the whole joke.

The hook drops into Neapolitan and gets blunt about what the money buys you: "Nun te salva 'o Rolex ma te salva 'o Kalash" (A Rolex won't save you but a Kalashnikov will). Geolier's verse is the bleakest stretch, and its worst line is almost tender: "'O pate a 41 incoraggia 'o figlio, 'Bravo, studia'" (The father in 41-bis encourages his son, 'Good boy, study'), a man in maximum-security isolation telling his kid to do his homework. Baby Gang and Simba La Rue finish it at a sprint, plainclothes police on their tail: "Sese, falchi ci stanno inseguendo" (Sese, the plainclothes cops are chasing us). Four rappers, four accents, one calculator.
