Clean
Tony Effe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pow, pow
Gang, gang
(Luke Skywalker sulla base)
Air Force 1 quando è clean (clean)
Bianca come coca, Medellin (Medellin)
Con il baffo come Pablo (Esco-)
Air Force 1 quando è clean (clean)
White come coca, Medellin (come coca)
Ehi, con il baffo come Pablo (pow-pow)
Se si piegano le cambio
Zzala nuovo king, molla il trono pendejo
Sono in una suite, vedo il Duomo nel vetro
Se non trovi le tue amiche sono nel retro
Tony impellicciato sembra Conor McGregor
C'è una gerarchia nel rap italiano
Qualcuno ha un contratto a tempo indeterminato
Poi c'è qualcun altro fra che è solo precario
E poi ci sono io che sono il proprietario
Il mio nuovo AP, badaboom, badabim
Compro quella T solo se c'è una V
Metto quelle Force 1 perché sono clean
Numeri sul muro a casa mia, come in bagno all'Autogrill
Air Force 1 quando è clean (quando è clean)
White come coca, Medellin (come coca)
Ehi, con il baffo come Pablo (pow-pow)
Se si piegano le cambio
A-a-air Force 1 quando è clean (clean)
Bianca come coca, Medellin (coca a Medellin)
Con il baffo come Pablo (Esco-)
Se si piegano le cambio (splash)(Sosa)
Faccio cose, ma non parlo
Muovo coca, come Carlos (uoh)
Via Parioli, su una Lambo (ehi)
Cambio tipa, se mi stanco (via)
In zona mi salutano le guardie
Anche se ho 10 grammi nelle palle (pow, pow, pow)
La mia ragazzi è bionda come Paris (bitch)
Amici calabresi ed albanesi
Seh, quando entriamo nel posto
Vendere droga è solo un ricordo
Mio fratello ha le cimici addosso (bitch)
Dieci kili di materiale nascosto (sosa)
Air Force 1 quando è clean (clean)
Bianca come coca, Medellin (Medellin)
Con il baffo come Pablo (Esco-)
Se si piegano le cambio
A-a-air Force 1 quando è clean (quando è clean)
White come coca, Medellin (come coca)
Ehi, con il baffo come Pablo (pow-pow)
Se si piegano le cambio (via)
(Luke Skywalker sulla base)
In "CLEAN", Tony Effe takes on a braggadocious tone as he raps about the clean state of his Air Force 1 shoes, which he compares to the whiteness of coca found in the Colombian city of Medellin. He references drug lord Pablo Escobar and his signature mustache, boasting that he, too, sports a similar style. The chorus repeats the importance of having clean Air Force 1's, and Tony Effe continues his boastful lyrics in the second verse, highlighting his financial success and social status. He mentions his expensive watch, the AP, and drops a subtle reference to his incorporation of Luxottica's Ray-Ban sunglasses into his style. He includes another nod to Pablo Escobar, stating that he only buys a T-shirt with a V-neck. In the final verse, Tony Effe alludes to his involvement in trafficking cocaine and his familial ties to illegal activity, but he asserts that life moves on and he's in a new phase of selling records instead of drugs.
Overall, "CLEAN" showcases Tony Effe's confidence, wealth, and his ability to integrate pop culture references into his bars. His decision to compare his fresh kicks to cocaine ties together the imagery of drug use and fashion, something that has become a popular concept in fashion and urban music.
