Dio Non C’è Lyrics English Translation by Paky
(feat. Alessandra Amoroso)
While the world flattens out, I write another sad story
Between the balcony lights and the shadow of the housing blocks (Ah-ah)
In Rozzano in winter, the basements flood
And chunks of plaster fall from the attic ceilings
Toxic, get in line, we come from via Lilla
Where *** costs fifteen a pop
Where husband and wife get *** together in the kitchen (Ah-ah)
Early in the morning his daughter Martina (Martina)
Sees everything through the eyes of one who’s still a child
The eyes of one who has no way out (Way out)
As soon as she grew up, she learned what malice is
She put on lipstick, heels, a skirt and then went out (Ah)
Born and dies inside a housing project, someone like me
Has to run if the cell rings because God isn’t here (Ah-ah)
My brother from inside a cell is staring at the sky
Watching an airplane fly (Ah-ah)
Maybe it’s a bad dream, but I’m not sleeping now
You know I don’t sleep because I never forget (No, no)
A noise, a rumble from the deep dark, the smell of trouble
Where do I put this pain? (This pain)
Too big to just let it go (Ah-ah)
It must be a bad dream, I write it on a page
But deep down I know (Ah-ah) that God isn’t here (Ah)
If you talk about gangsta rap, you better bite your tongue
If you wanna learn how to do it, my link’s in the bio (Link)
While you were still in the balls, I was already jacking a T-Max (Uaum)
While you were in elementary school, I was making my first cri– (Uaum, uaum, uaum)
Life sentenced us to die a slow death
I stole, I sold (Sold) and saw the real *** (Ah-ah)
You think I give a ***, ***, if they listen to you in America (In America)
They listen to me in prison (Ah), bro
“Good morning” and “good evening” (Good evening) when I walk into Intesa bank (Ah-ah)
They use “sir” with me ’cause they already know the deposit (The deposit)
That they gotta be quick ’cause I’m always in a hurry
Ltd. company (Ah-ah), there’s a meeting waiting for me
A million on the contract, but I wanna raise the offer
I’m paying f*** to get out of Universal (Universal)
I remember when I signed, f*** M***
They wrote a letter of complaint to Massara (Ah-ah)
I’m the son of humble folks: a factory worker and a waitress (Ah-ah)
When everything here was going to hell, tell me, where was God? (Where was God?)
The devil will whisper in my ear again tonight (Ah-ah)
Softly he’ll tell me something that throws me off
***, I’m always angry and maybe I will be forever (Forever)
I’m a bad example, I gotta rot in hell (Ah-Ah)
We know what’s down here, but we don’t know what’s up there (What’s up there)
First we ask for forgiveness, then we sin again
Maybe it’s a bad dream, but I’m not sleeping now
You know I don’t sleep because I never forget (No, no)
A noise, a rumble from the deep dark, the smell of trouble
Where do I put this pain? (This pain)
Too big to just let it go (Ah-ah)
It must be a bad dream, I write it on a page
But deep down I know that God isn’t here
