Prima strofa:
Anthony era nato in Nigeria
Poi è emigrato
Credo l’abbia fatto
Per colpa della miseria
Da quanto lui mi ha raccontato
Sul suo passato
Per sopravvivere
Sarebbe andato anche in
Siberia
Era senza passaporto
Quindi aveva un passi corto
In ogni stato in cui è stato
Era sempre in torto
Questo fino al giorno fatale
In cui non se è accorto
È capitato in zona neutrale
E mo è morto
Viveva a Lugano
Nel centro di via Tiglio
Uno dei tanti fratelli ailanti
In esiglio
Pare vendesse droga in strada
Senza batter ciglio
A me personalmente
Ha dato amore e consiglio
Aveva una famiglia
A cui mandava soldi a casa
Per poter mangiare
E comprare qualche cosa
Non viveva certo
Una dolce vita rosa
Ma era un soldato rasta
Che alla festa non riposa
Con l’armatura e l’andatura
Super più stilosa
Per la morosa bianca
Una rosa un po’ spinosa
Una rara perla nera
Una vita preziosa
Ora pensando a lui
Mi manca qualcosa
Rit.
Non sono neutrale
Mi fa ancora male
Hanno ucciso mio fratello
Come un animale
Senza un tribunale
In una cella pretoriale
La condanna a morte in Swiss
È ancora attuale
Seconda strofa:
Ce l’hann portato via
Chi credi che sia stato?
Un po’ come la CIA
Fottuta polizia di stato
Senza averlo sgamato
Lo hanno arrestato
E incarcerato
L’avranno interrogato
Ma lui non ha cantato così
L’hanno pestato e torturato
Finché lo hanno ammazzato
Poi ci hann raccontato
Che si è suicidato
Hanno violato
Tutti isui diritti umani
Tutore della legge
Guarda le tue sporche mani
Non credo al tuo dottore
All’autopsia e all perizia
Non credo al procuratore
Né alla sua giustizia
Credo solo a rancore
Alla rabbia, al vuoto,
All’orrore
Hanno ucciso mio fratello
minore
Amore
Ora devo sopravvivere
Anche in tuo onore
Ma come fare
Col dolore che ho nel cuore?
Signore
Ora devo sopravvivere
Anche in suo onore
Ma come fare, come fare
nigga?
Rit.
Terza strofa:
Per tutti noi la sua scomparsa
È stata una tragedia
Ma tutti i media
hann messo in scena
Una commedia
Dai giornali alla televisione
Solo mistificazione
Come se un omicidio
Fosse finzione
Solo la sua professione
Al centro dell’attenzione
Come distrazione
Dal centro della questione
Solo disinformazione
Infierendo sulla sua
reputazione
Infliggendogli
Un’altra crocifissione
Immagina quanto ha sofferto
Finché Dio lo ha preso
Da solo
Nemmeno il suo avvocato
Lo ha difeso
Tra codici civili
E codici penali
Chi sono gli incivili
E i veri criminali ?
Chiunque lo abbia ucciso
Bruci in eterno
Fanculo il paradiso
Sfido il vostro inferno
In nome del Signore
Onnipotente
Spero che moriate
Con dolore e lentamente,
Fuck!
Rit.
Quarta strofa (Valdo):
Non sono neutrale
A questo mondo astrale
Pronto a rapirti
Nella sua spirale
A ogni essere trattato
Come un cane
Mente e corpo nel torto
Di un mondo distorto
Avvolto nello sconforto
Offerto da questo inferno
Per ogni ermano
Chiuso dentro questo mondo
Invano
Ricordiamo Tony
Fratello nigeriano
Deceduto in modo strano
Rinchiuso e isolato
Destinato e condannato
Dal telegiornale
Propagandato male
Non c’è giustizia
Se non c’è pace
Popolo discriminato
Che non tace
Per una giustizia senza voce
Triste realtà atroce
Di questa società veloce
Che riconosce solo
Chi è più vorace
Rit.
