Come NY
Taxi B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Milano è come New York
Droga, puttane e soldi
Qui ci viveva il diavolo
Ma proprio in casa nostra
Oh my God
Mamma ha pregato per me
Attento, hai solo una life
What the fuck
Fuck (oh)
Oh, my God (fuck)

Fossi in te, mi farei un buco in testa
Vivi ancora con tua madre
Lei per questo prendo il Xan
Da quando sono una star, sono depressa
Ora prendo Minias come una vecchia (puttana)
Mai come te con la tua vita di plastica
La sera mangio ostriche, tutto fatto in un hotel
Mai come te con la tua vita di plastica
A quelli come me piace giocare con la morte

Prega per me (per me)
Sul mio testarossa sempre più gas
Ho bisogno di drugs (di drugs)
Chissà se Dio mi dà un'altra chance
New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on my mind
New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on my mind

What the fuck
Fuck, ahahah

Credono in me come hanno fatto con i bitcoin
Solo che vorrebbero il mio sangue ripulito
Chi è stato con me allora sa che cosa ho visto
Tanto so che è inutile chiedere aiuto a Cristo

Prega per me (per me)
Sul mio testarossa sempre più gas
Ho bisogno di drugs (di drugs)
Chissà se Dio mi dà un'altra chance
New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on my mind
New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on my mind

Milano è come New York
Droga, puttane e soldi
Qui ci viveva il diavolo
Ma proprio in casa nostra
Ooh, my God
Mamma ha pregato per me
Attento, hai solo una life
Wha-wha-what the fuck
(Oh, my God, it's Danien)
Fuck, fuck, fuck

New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on my mind
New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on (my mind)
New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on my mind
New life (new life), new drugs (new drugs)
Only cash on (my mind)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Taxi B's song "Come NY" touch on the themes of indulgence, temptation, and the harsh realities of city life, using the comparison between Milan and New York as a backdrop. The opening lines suggest that both cities are characterized by vices such as drugs, prostitution, and money, with a hint of danger and darkness lurking in the familiar settings of "our own home." The references to the devil living among them and a mother praying for protection add a layer of religious symbolism and inner conflict.


The next verse delves into a personal struggle with identity and fame, illustrating the pressures and emotional toll that come with being in the spotlight. The singer grapples with feelings of depression despite their outward success, seeking solace in substances like Xanax and projecting a sense of detachment from societal norms. The juxtaposition of eating oysters in luxury hotels with a cynical view of a plastic, artificial lifestyle highlights a sense of alienation and self-destructive tendencies.


The chorus repeats a plea for prayers and guidance, set against a backdrop of fast cars, drug use, and a yearning for a fresh start. The mention of cash as the central focus of the mind reflects a mindset consumed by materialism and a sense of emptiness despite external signs of wealth and success. The reference to seeking another chance from God hints at a desire for redemption or a fresh start, but also an acknowledgment of one's own destructive patterns.


The closing lines of the song bring the themes full circle, reiterating the comparison between Milan and New York as cities where temptations and dangers lurk, and where prayers for protection serve as a reminder of the fragility of life. The repetition of the mantra "new life, new drugs, only cash on my mind" underscores a cycle of seeking escape and reinvention, but being trapped in a mindset fixated on material gain and temporary highs. Overall, the lyrics paint a complex portrait of a conflicted individual navigating the trappings of fame, wealth, and inner turmoil in an unforgiving urban landscape.
