The A Team
Calum and Luke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Luke Skywalker sulla base
Dream team, PSG
Cash machine, beep-beep
Skrrt-skrrt, Need for Speed
Volando, Buzz Lightyear
LeBron James, Slam Dunk, ah
Sul beat come una bestia, ah
Fammi giocare se vuoi vincere easy
Medaglia al collo come le olimpiadi
Dream team, PSG
Cash machine, beep-beep
Skrrt-skrrt, Need for Speed
Volando, Buzz Lightyear
LeBron James, Slam Dunk, ah
Sul beat come una bestia, ah
Fammi giocare se vuoi vincere easy
Medaglia al collo come le olimpiadi

Eh, chiama il dream team se vuoi vincere (chiama)
L'ho messa dentro da tre, easy
Io non ho tempo per te, busy (no, no)
Vestito chic, come il pezzo di IZI
Mario, ci dobbiamo muovere
Plaza, veloce, mangiano la polvere
Non puoi rispondere
Non siamo bodyguard, torniamo in popolari con un bolide
Ferrari nera
Al Twiga di Montecarlo
Me la posteggio al parcheggio, tu non cercarlo
Hai fatto il grande salto
Giacca di Prada in Montenapo
Il fra' nelle tasche c'ha il Monte Bianco
Pla-Plaza con Tedua come un corsaro
La guardia costiera mi cerca al largo
Movie
Sรฌ, qua รจ un film, movie
La alzo a Mario che la schiaccia
Dei fra' mi fido ad occhi chiusi
Uzi sparano
Certe rime che non si possono sentire
Dirรฒ di invertire, conto il cash, faccio pile
Starboy trap, no rapine, bang

Dream team, PSG
Cash machine, beep-beep
Skrrt-skrrt, Need for Speed
Volando, Buzz Lightyear
LeBron James, Slam Dunk, ah
Sul beat come una bestia, ah
Fammi giocare se vuoi vincere easy (ehi)
Medaglia al collo come le olimpiadi (Santana)

Odiano vedermi vincere, frรฉro (Santana)
Farlo รจ difficile, frรฉro
Sangue sopra le classifiche, frรฉro
Dio non ci sa distinguere, frรฉro
Donne e gioielli, auto nell'elenco
Attento a quello che desideri, frรฉro
Oggi un codardo se muore un milione di volte
Nemmeno una รจ per davvero
Dream team, ora sparo alle stelle
Assicurati solo che la tua Rolls Royce sia antiproiettile (pow, pow, pow)
Non sono un rapper, sono un gentiluomo, fra', รจ pieno di femmine
Riempiamo le banche di soldi, le tombe di padri, i bambini di gossip
Come se il mondo volesse le nostre preghiere, ma chi pregherร  per i nostri? (Santana)

Dream team, PSG
Cash machine, beep-beep
Skrrt-skrrt, Need for Speed
Volando, Buzz Lightyear
LeBron James, Slam Dunk, ah
Sul beat come una bestia, ah




Fammi giocare se vuoi vincere easy
Medaglia al collo come le olimpiadi

@sofianna1984

This is the fucking reason why i'm crying every night

@red.exehasstopped2696

*this is about the orginal video, I just thought it might be nice to comment it here...*

Wow I'm actually sobbing... It's the lyrics combined with their passion and their harmony...... you can see the pain and focus on Lukes face and the dedication in Calums eyes when he looks at the camera. the passion and the love is so strong. Luke's eyes... they get so cloudy... and he looks like hes going to start crying or break down. And Calum just looks... dead. Calum looks dead inside, and it shows clearly when he looks up from his guitar. at least its clear to me. Well, at first he's giggling at Ashton behind the camera and so is Luke but once he starts playing the mood changed so quickly. I started crying the second Calum started singing because it's honestly just so beautiful. He has a such a raw, solid voice that can, in my opinion, take on any emotion perfectly. When Luke started singing the chorus, I officially lost it. Luke is a different story. His voice is obviously just as beautiful, but I feel like the sense of passion was stronger than the emotions he was showing. there's no problem with that, its just an observation. Anyways, this video is beautiful. Thank you, Luke and Calum, for making this wonderful video. You two jave made me cry countless times before, this one was the hardest. I don't know if thats good or bad, but nonetheless it's beautiful.
