Vendetta [English translation]

My revenge is that your sons are listening to my texts

And are dreaming about becoming the one you detest

My mission is to educate them to be rebels

They all want to tackle me just like in rugby

You're giving yourself peace of mind

Mine is at war

And first I told it to my mother and then to Universal

The disc more than Status is The Day The Earth Stood Still1

On the road to the island of Elba

Island the grass

You're throwing rose petals

Because I have a real flow2

Purple weed, orange G

Floral theme

Euros green to purple3

Eurora borealis

For the German cars

Not for the Korean ones

I know that the world isn't to be changed

It's to be governed

I want to look like the man we are spitting at

They are throwing us new vices as food

New crap

And we take all of it like the flu

My colleagues earn thanks to naivety

They deal with personality disorder

Honesty, honesty they teach that in secondary school

Honesty, yes the same one that screwed my relatives!

You're still hoping that the law will make your interest

It's like asking if the stuff is good at who sells it

In my neighborhood we are stony-broke

But there are some green spaces4

They play the sons of the servants

Our people

Area Barona5

You know I live in the front line

And we were all friends before the contracts

Before the money

But the ones who change are the ones

That didn't make it

Between words and deeds I know you chose to betray, infamy

The money creeps me but I like what it can buy

It's been 10 years I no longer do piecework

And 15 years my mother watches Un Posto Al Sole6

Refrain :

I'm a leader

I'm not a boss (x3)

Follow the Leader!

The first rapper of the areas in the high areas

The Trojan horse with the others inside

I rap like if I still should assert myself

On a wrecking ball like Miley

The true luxury for the one who has money

Is not to think about money

What I'm saying annoys you? Why are you listening?

That's right that where nothing glitters I see gold

And me I don't see myself here

I see them

Death at small dose

You can buy everything on credit

My neighborhood outlet of drug

Boss with new dress7

Bossanova

This plays in the videos

And in real life shakes like the joypad

The chicks are stripping because I'm always laying bare

You, on the contrary, have lots of names but you're nobody

They have copied from me so much ideas and so much flows just like that

That I've understood that in rap there's not mine and yours

My fame precedes me

Carry me to the summit I have faith

Willingness wavers but doesn't give up

East side strikes the sun

North side, the Romanian girls prostitutes8

This way much G in salon

All of them around a table like this was the G8

I paint saints

Giotto9

Let's plot, let's put the market on knees

Screw. Traffic. Betray. Steal. Humiliate. Hit. Exploit.

Spend. Flaunt. Spread. Smoke. Drink. Fuck. Use and threw.

This it what sells.

This is what they want.

If this is what wins

This is what they show.

Refrain

No, who can't save the world

Can save you

Friendship is just a click

Honour is just a tattoo

Love is a scoop that makes views

Sell more

I say "Fuck you"

Kind Screw

Kind "Fuck you"

I would like to give them a merry-go-round10 to do what is fairest

But the public detests you when then you reveal them the trick

So cheat on them, fool them

They will love you for this

Less worth has

And higher is the price

You get loans to settle yourself

Clothes you can't afford

Realpolitik, Metternich

With the thirst of filming God with the 7D11

While I ask them to resign

Anger of the centuries

Questions without answers

Because silence is of culprits

Say who, say who, say who has designed this carousel

Say who made this weak

And I see blood on the ties

Say who bet that the country would collapse

And middle-classes without classes

Who allowed it to happen because he intended to be part of it

If you don't know where you're going

Remember you why you started

I don't become what I've always hated

I will remember why I'm doing it

I remember that you have done to us

It reminds me why I'm doing it

For what you've done to us

Revenge

I remember that you have done to us

It reminds me why I'm doing it

For what you've done to us

Revenge, revenge, revenge

1. I found an explanation of this line here : http://genius.com/4595088 . The Marracash record is called "Status", but, by its content and form , it's a sort of an Ultimatum, making it a tribute to the moovie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" whose Italian title is "Ultimatum Alla Terra"2. I think here it is an untranslatable play of words : "flow reale" sounds like "floreale" (floral), which explains the rose petals.3. The 100 euro note is green, the 500 euro note is purple4. Play on words. In Italian, the expression "essere al verde" (to be at the green) means to have no money.5. Border district of Milan6. "A sunny place". Italian TV programme7. "Roba nuova" = new dress or new trend8. http://genius.com/4629927 Play on words : "battere" means to strike but it slang, it also means to prostitute9. Very famous Italian painter of the late middle age10. to make fun of them; to embarrass them11. A Cannon camera
