Slave
Mr. Morning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day mother*****r beat
Mi metto a scrivere cose con stile concreto
Guardo la mia terra che affonda e resta sempre indietro
Ci sta la mafia, che cosa, che minchia dici
Parla un altro poco e ti ammazzo pure gli amici
Parlo di fobie e manie di protagonismo
Fuori dalla massa bro, fuori dal qualunquismo
Fuori dal coro ma con il mio alfabetismo
Ero tanto fuori che imprecavo al catechismo
Contro ste regole tipo il sergente Will
Sovverto i vostri schemi, assecondo fumando weed
Non c'è che dire non serve l'opposizione
Serve stare attenti se si carica un cannone
Vengo sotto casa stanotte e non dormi proprio
Ti farò salire l'ansia ma l'ansia da manicomio
Povera Italia e poi poveri tutti voi
Poveri quegli altri ma gli altri qui siamo noi
È un gran casino ragazzi non si capisce
C'abbiamo il marcio e più leggi che negli States
Col tricolore ma figli di stelle e strisce
Schiavi di mc Donald, Jobs e Bill Gates
È un gran casino ragazzi non si capisce
C'abbiamo il marcio e più leggi che negli States
Col tricolore ma figli di stelle e strisce
Schiavi di mc Donald, Jobs e Bill Gates
Ascolta le notizie e rileggiti quei giornali
Passano gli anni ma i capi son tutti uguali
Sempre ridicoli è quello che ci dimostrano
Spingono in cunicoli è certo che non lo mostrano
Oggi giornata di report degli anni nove zero
Quando quest Italia muoveva il denaro vero
Faccio tutto il conto di quelle morti di stato
Tipo Sandri, Moro passando da un magistrato
No, non si capisce la dritta perchè non c'è
Morti Borsellino e Falcone ma pure Berlinguer
E poi per chiudere Chucchi, mi sto sbagliando
Tanto morto un papa in italia se ne fa un altro
Questo è l'epilogo scrivo su un beat monotono
Cerca di ascoltare che sono senza microfono
Chiudo le barre, malato di rap cronico
Dietro le sbarre di un paese razzista e omofobo
È un gran casino ragazzi non si capisce
C'abbiamo il marcio e più leggi che negli States
Col tricolore ma figli di stelle e strisce
Schiavi di mc Donald, Jobs e Bill Gates
È un gran casino ragazzi non si capisce
C'abbiamo il marcio e più leggi che negli States




Col tricolore ma figli di stelle e strisce
Schiavi di mc Donald, Jobs e Bill Gates
