Sono arrivato col treno, guardavo me stesso dal vetro
Ero libero, ma senza soldi saltavo la metro e
Davo il curriculum, me lo ridavano indietro
Io volevo lavorare anche se non mi ci vedevo
Il primo appartamento in Via Padova Flumendosa
Uscivo, c'era un trans vestito tutto di rosa
Barboni alle panchine chiedevano l'elemosina
E i negri a Cimiano vendevano qualunque cosa
Vedi negli occhi il freddo di quella panchina
E al lavoro cercavo sempre di staccare prima
Che dopo andavo in studio, stavo lì fino a mattina
Tenevo le casse a palla, problemi con la vicina, e
Splash, tutti pazzi per il cash, baby
Quando lavoravo a Lambrate poi tornavo a piedi
Dicevano "Ti stai rovinando, ma non ti vedi?"
Il rapper che non mi cagava vende ancora tappeti
E guarda un po', ora la gente lo sa
Il mio nome sta girando un po' per tutte le città
Idolo degli albanesi in giro per l'Italia
Con un piede nella realtà e l'altro nell'aldilà
Odiavo la povertà, ma ora posso ringraziarla
Perché mi ha dato la forza in mezzo a 'sta gente che parla
Dovevo fare soldi e cercare una casa calda
Appena ho fatto un po' di soldi, ho preso una casa a Niguarda
Una casa un po' più grande anche se non era in centro
Ma se aprivo la finestra non c'era solo cemento
E a me bastava questo, solo respirare un po'
Tu non sai quanto ho sudato per avere ciò che ho
Mamma, ho cambiato casa un'altra volta, un'altra casa
Eh, stavo per cadere a pezzi come una rosa, come una casa
Eh, mamma, ho cambiato casa un'altra volta, un'altra casa
Eh, stavo per cadere a pezzi come una rosa, come una casa, eh
"Click-clack", sento quel rumore, mi sveglio di colpo
Problems bussano alla porta, io gli vado incontro
Questa vita è stronza poi alla fine chiede sempre il conto
Lei si innamora sempre di più quando faccio lo stronzo
Pronto? Portami i soldi, ti porto i soldi
Il mondo è fatto di soldi o fatto di sogni?
Mi dicevano: "Coi sogni cosa ci compri?"
Lasci che gli risponda il mio portafogli
Ah, vuoi la peace? Vuoi la guerre?
Dalla street, volevo solo una casa adesso, diventare il king
In villetta col camino mentre fumo tutto in chill
Esco da quella jacuzzi dopo registro una hit
E non so perché parlate di quando non c'eravate
Troppo freddo d'inverno, troppo caldo d'estate
La miseria, la fame, il freddo di queste strade
Sono il motivo per la quale tutto questo accade
Mamma, ho cambiato casa un'altra volta, un'altra casa
Eh, stavo per cadere a pezzi come una rosa, come una casa
Eh, mamma, ho cambiato casa un'altra volta, un'altra casa
Eh, stavo per cadere a pezzi come una rosa, come una casa, eh
