It's not the movies and TV

It's not social media and the news

It's not the coolest music

It's this life, the real tour

I remember who I was

I defend what I believe in

If I stay still, I stress myself out

I should think less

You're not here anymore, I can't believe it

But I close my eyes and I see you

Under one sky

With a foreign passport

The journey matters more than the landing

The most powerful bar, that you write on the building

I have such a big house that it changes my time zone

I've changed so many houses, but at least I've traveled

I've been to Southern Italy

I know that where there's no State, there's the mafia

The State only works where it profits

If someone lacks water, it's normal that they figure it out

Even with legality, we can't fill our bellies

I've returned to Padania and the Madonna and the madam

Fifteen years old, I was already selling grams on the street

When I told him, "Mbare'," he replied, "Bella, raga"

Gallarate, bro, I'm right from here

But I don't feel from here, neither from here nor there

And I only lived downtown when I was inside

I'm waiting for the day a bomb explodes in Parliament

I remember who I was

I defend what I believe in

If I stay still, I stress myself out

I should think less

You're not here anymore, I can't believe it

But I close my eyes and I see you

Under one sky

With a foreign passport

It may hurt, but I still can't give up

I've always believed it because anything can happen

My father never came to pick me up from school

If it still burns sometimes, then empty the ashtray

I fly on an Emirates jet

And in my bad dreams, I see you, but with her

But I just want to have a break, NBA, anyway

I don't go to SerT for some Mary J

Because I don't want convictions, I'm a flower caught in the act

I'll make space among the other plants

With a crooked stem in a buzzing garden

The nets burn me, but what shines on the street?

All my dreams go up in smoke before making this music

A four-legged friend doesn't judge you

Words that sting you, it's my rough tongue

I remember who I was

I defend what I believe in

If I stand still, I get stressed

I should think less

You're not here anymore, I don't believe it

But I close my eyes and see you

Under a single sky

With a foreign passport

Massimo Pericolo, Tedua

From the street to the street

From the street to the street

My house is your house
