Nitro
Nitro - Storia di un defunto artista (english translation)
[Verse 1]
My dream got destroyed after a meter
In fact I have the face of someone who has lost everything and wants it all back
If only I put in my creed a little less of my ego
Maybe I would have a concrete heart, not a glass one (Uh-uh)
If I look back I'm afraid to see her
Because I feel better if I get away in time from what you are
And if I could I'd disappear
I hate half of what you call: "My city"
And I would kill the other half!
And if I could I'd do more than that
I'd write lyrics for this fools in catalepsy for the Musical Biz
I'd make the same compromises of your stupid King
Instead, I drown in the complexes of e beautiful bitch
You'd say it, huh? Don't tell me: "Yeah, whatever"
You know what? Before this concerts, a big cachet
I even learned the lyrics by De Andrè
Now I see the cool guys with the Beats by Dre
Well, sorry, I'm not sorry, music is the only muse I abuse
'Cause it doesn't just use me and it never deluded me
Your naked body, instead, refuses me like an intruder
It undresses me and it robs me of any excuse ready for use
I'm done
That's why I reject your forgiveness
I cry in darkness and I talk to the wall, disappointed in what I am
It's a paradox, the more you take it in your asshole, the more you become a man
The more you become someone in future, the more you feel lonely
Here, they say I'm too hyped up and an asshole
But I've always been a complexed guy with depression
Who hates each one of his songs, and the next one is even worse
'Cause the result of malaise is a worse malaise
And if you have nothing to lose, you could lose your mind
Now you can't care about malaise, only about being the best, right?
Being the best, right?
That's self-conviction, right?
Then, I am going to be the best, period!

[Hook]
If I were you, I wouldn't be like that
I would get mad, but I wouldn't be like that
These motherfuckers are gonna pay for me
But 'till the day I die they'd better stay away from me
Hey, stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me, eh
Stay away from me, eh
Stay away from me, eh

[Verse 2]
People like to raise you if they can touch you
To show other people that if they want, they can lift you up
But when you get too high and they can't touch you anymore
They even throw you stones, just for the joy of seeing you fall down
You're not going to fucking beat me
You that say: "Nitro, I don't like you anymore
You're just slavery to me
Just because you go on TV"
Fuck you and your thousands of invitations on websites
That's my dirty papers, against your clean clothes!
I spit on the reclame
Your clan is more confused and obtuse than any of your fans
What boss, fuck, you're not Kendrick Lamar
If you all are kings, the thrones are just stools in a bar
You'd like a star, like in Festivalbar
But reality dunks in your face and outclasses you: Nitro is Kevin Durant
Maybe I'd die on the track like the rally in Dakar
But my face is on the map, and you can't move it from there
Ah!
How is it like, when the magic goes away
And the talent is both sentence and amnesty?
While melancholy gets back in your eyes
But this time remember, fucking bitch: one night stand!
If you came to me like: "What's up, bro, how are you doing?"
The only woman I love doesn't want to be with me
She described me as a pervert who got crazy for rap
And she preferred a loser from a cover rock band
Why?! Bitch, you have to tell me why
The bars are not involved, I just want to understand why
You can't kill someone who got killed by himself
What are you going to decide if they always decided for you?
Eh?
And of course you don't behave like me
You don't have the guts to oppose yourself or to expose yourself like me
You don't spend sleepless nights an days on short iron like me
It's better to make music for the money than for deaf people like you
Just the fools like you make gossip about me
'Cause they realized they're not as strong as me
You don't have memories full of too much remorse like me
But in the end you're all dead, like me

[Hook]
If I were you, I wouldn't be like that
I would get mad, but I wouldn't be like that
These motherfuckers are gonna pay for me
But 'till the day I die they'd better stay away from me
Hey, stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me, eh
Stay away from me, eh
Stay away from me, eh
