Ossa & Carne Lyrics English Translation by Paky
(feat. Franco126, Guè)
Tonight the air is heavy, my nerves are on edge
I don’t know if it’s paranoia or a shadow spying on me
We’re nothing but flesh and bone for the highest bidder
And if there ever was a soul, we gave it away
I don’t feel a thing ’cause inside it’s all upside down
The darkness doesn’t wait, there’s no one here to keep me company
And I crush another cigarette into the ground
I never had a choice, the truth is dressed up as a lie
I was lying in the street (Ah), Camel filter (A Camel)
It was freezing cold, take off that necklace
These *** bandanas are all ***
Even the most criminal is made of flesh and bone (Flesh and bone)
We’re just passing through this wicked world (Ah-ah)
My father used to tell me
“Better the sound of cell bars than the sound of a church bell” (Ah)
I await the sentence, all Dolce&Gabba–
All Dolce&Gabbana (Ah-ah)
On a white limo like Barack Obama
But a jacket and tie? You can see from my face
That I sold the –, that something’s missing
Like a movie with no plot that ends in drama
I remember when for money I’d do
Back and forth like the swings
I don’t forget when we’d go downtown
To look for bikes without a chain
Then we’d run off with the guards behind us
I never wanted to die with nothing
We wanted what the people had
To feel like we were free from the chains too
Tonight the air is heavy, my nerves are on edge
I don’t know if it’s paranoia or a shadow spying on me
We’re nothing but flesh and bone for the highest bidder
And if there ever was a soul, we gave it away
I don’t feel a thing ’cause inside it’s all upside down
The darkness doesn’t wait, there’s no one here to keep me company
And I crush another cigarette into the ground
I never had a choice, the truth is dressed up as a lie (Ah)
I went to school in the plaza (Ah-ah), my skin like scales (Uoh)
Suckled by hyenas (Seh), adopted by hustlers (Ahah)
Milan is my den (Mhm) and you talk about the street (Seh)
But you’re the first to badmouth and tell them the plot
Among mortals we are flesh and bone
She takes it in her mouth and I give her the shock (Uff)
I am energy, I’m *** voltage
This filth and I raise the dosage
I burn the room just when I think (Ah)
For this *** I have an intense love (Seh)
I dedicate this verse to my brothers inside
And to real people like Vincenzo is
I learn from the good, I learn from the grimy
Bro, I’ve seen it all, even from a crooked eye (Seh)
This product I cut even if I don’t scratch (Ahah)
Bro, I win the match, total Gucci matcho
Who knows if there’s a god watching from up there
We take everything from you, even those tattoos
Even your Cartiers, yes, the eye doesn’t lie
Poetry doesn’t die, we will live forever (Okay)
Tonight the air is heavy, my nerves are on edge
I don’t know if it’s paranoia or a shadow spying on me
We’re nothing but flesh and bone for the highest bidder
And if there ever was a soul, we gave it away
I don’t feel a thing ’cause inside it’s all upside down
The darkness doesn’t wait, there’s no one here to keep me company
And I crush another cigarette into the ground
I never had a choice, the truth is dressed up as a lie
