Friend
Lazza Shiva Geolier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uoh, uoh oh (uoh oh)
Ehi (ehi), uoh (uoh)
Cazzo mene se è tarocca quella Louis Vuitton
Voglio solo che ti appoggi con 'sto booty on
Stavo in rollin' coi miei homies come Coolio
Switcho Rollie solo tempo con un tourbillon
E un flow fuori dall'Europa come il Brexit
Che sia rap, che sia trap, che sia sopra un breakbeat
Io sono la morte con lo smoking come Brad Pitt
Sei solo una bad bih che mi vuole regalare un bad trip
Giuro che ti meriti uno standing, solo per i pressing
Ho visto i miei soldi fare un backflip
Per metterti ai piedi quelle McQueen
Ho visto i miei soci fare trakking per comprare Fendi
Friendly, tranne quando girano coi ferri
Questi fanno testi come il wrestling, faker
Pure lenti come Franklin
Trendy come pezzi con il brandy
Baby, sono orrendi, cosa prendi?
Eh, sì, che vorrei a casa un grammy
Stan Lee, la mia vita è come un bel film
Io ho ancora alcuni problems che risolverò
Ho due pusher sull'iPhone
E due pute per i friends
Il mio suono, 'ste banlieue
Ora è diventato trend
Il mio fra non è il tuo friend
Fatti il segno della croce
Dint' 'o juco so' 'nu glitch
Dint' 'o juco sî 'nu snitch
Affianco tengo 'a rich girl, mica tengo 'a bitch
Meglio ca nun te impicci se stongo miezzo 'e 'mpicce
Me piglio 'e royalties e me cagno tutte a fiches
Inutile che vvuo' fa' 'a baby, pe' mmé nun sî ready
Sî capitata miezzo 'e crazy
Traso 'int' 'a AP e int' 'a boutique vesto basic
Nemico 'e 'nemico ssaje che m'è nemico
Tu penza a restare ommo, pecché ero ommo già 'int' 'o Scenic
Me rice ca so' troppo maldestro
E po' pe' l'età che tengo ca so' cresciuto ampresso
Chi more e tene e sorde 'int' 'a bank, ogni funerale s'avota a festa (yeah)
È troppo facile, ammò sî fragile
È facile a fa' 'o difficile, ma è difficile a fa' 'o facile
N-a, frateme, se 'nfonna appena trase dint' 'a machina
'Int' 'o cuofane a 'sta uno, nun te fa piglia' ro panico
Io ho ancora alcuni problems che risolverò
Ho due pusher sull'iPhone
E due pute per i friends
Il mio suono, 'ste banlieue
Ora è diventato trend
Il mio fra non è il tuo friend
Fatti il segno della croce
The lyrics to "Friend" by Lazza, Shiva, and Geolier discuss various aspects of the artists' lives and experiences, as well as their attitudes towards relationships and success.
In the first paragraph, the artists begin by expressing a desire for authenticity and sincerity. They mention a Louis Vuitton item and dismiss the idea of it being fake or imitation. They then express a desire for someone to support them, referring to themselves as having a "booty on." The artists also mention their affiliation with their close friends, comparing themselves to Coolio and their carefree lifestyle. They mention the importance of time, and specifically mention a luxury watch brand, Rollie, and its trademark tourbillon mechanism. The combination of these references suggests a desire for genuine connections and experiences, with a touch of luxury and sophistication.
The second paragraph touches upon relationships and the artists' persona. They refer to a woman as a "bad bih" who wants to give them a bad trip, implying a desire to avoid negative influences. The artists state that this woman deserves attention and admiration, suggesting they are discerning in their choices when it comes to companionship. They also mention their wealth and the ability to purchase expensive designer items like McQueen and Fendi, highlighting their success. However, they criticize others who are unreliable or untrustworthy, comparing them to wrestlers or fakers. The artists mention that they are trendy and fashionable, comparing their style to pieces with a touch of brandy, suggesting a unique and stylish approach to their music.
The third paragraph introduces a glimpse into the artists' personal lives. They mention having some unresolved problems, two dealers on their iPhone, and two prostitutes for their friends, suggesting a lifestyle that involves indulgence and excess. They mention their sound or music, referring to it as "banlieue," which is a suburb in French genres like hip-hop. They state that it has now become a trend, indicating that their music has gained popularity and influenced others in the genre. Additionally, they assert that their "fra" or brother is not the listener's friend, possibly indicating a sense of exclusivity within their inner circle. The final line, "Fatti il segno della croce," translates to "make the sign of the cross," and may symbolize a way to protect oneself from negative influences or bad energy.
The fourth and final paragraph provides more personal insights and boasts about their success. They refer to themselves as a "glitch" in the system, someone who is not conventional or adhering to societal norms. They mention having a rich girl next to them instead of a "bitch," perhaps suggesting a preference for someone of substance and class. The artists imply that it is better for others not to interfere with their personal matters, emphasizing their autonomy and independence. They mention receiving royalties and disregarding "fiches," which could refer to unimportant or insignificant matters. The artists then contrast their ease and confidence with the fragility of others, claiming that it is easy for them to make difficult things happen. The final lines suggest a warning not to panic or worry when they get into their car, possibly indicating their unwavering confidence and control.
Overall, the lyrics of "Friend" highlight the artists' desire for authenticity, success, and genuine connections in their lives. They assert themselves with confidence, embrace luxury, and dismiss negative influences. The song provides insight into their personal lives, their values, and their unique approach to music and relationships.
