(they won't go when i go)
Sono come Romolo, ho visto morire Remo.
Adesso aspetto il giorno nel quale rideremo,
ci sarà l'apocalisse ma sopravviveremo
dopo poche risse noi ci rincontreremo,
tu col pokerissimo e la solita fortuna,
io poverissimo a sognare la luna,
a sognare l'alunna o l'unna mezza nuda,
con la birra al bar, sempre prima che chiuda.
Ancora un'altra lacrima che cade e non s'asciuga,
è dal tuo ricordo che sono sempre in fuga,
ma si riprensenta come sul bagnasciuga
l'onda che ritorna e scava come ruga.
Tu galvanizzato dal motore della Cougar
e sopra quella macchina correvi come un puma,
dicevi che la vita vola via come una piuma
ma più passava il tempo più lo perdevi in cura.
Dicevi: "Dio non mi avrà, vincerò la leucemia!"
e la tua ragazza la chiamavi "luce mia".
Cadevano i capelli colpa del cortisone
e non riuscivi piu a guardare le persone.
Ma arrivò l'autunno che porta via le foglie
ed ai primi di novembre seppellimo le tue spoglie.
A volte i frutti troppo presto cadono dai rami
ma vivono per sempre nel ricordo di chi ami
[to all my brothers in the streets]
[and yo I wish you were still livin]
[ma è troppo tardi adesso]
[they won't go when i go]
Ricordo insegnamenti che segnano menti e momenti
e non menti quando senti questi sentimenti,
se diventi grande poi ti rendi
conto che i momenti passati con i vecchi
non erano abbastanza, anche se parecchi;
perchè da bambino pecchi di presunzione e li punzecchi
con battibecchi e becchi dei rimproveri che sono troppo secchi,
ma se chi
ti raccontava quelle storie ti amava davvero
lo capisci solo quando si spegne il cero,
quando guardi il cielo o cerchi nel vangelo
la verità sull'angelo che fa calare il gelo.
Il gelo che mi prende durante notti insonni
quando io non dormo e parlo con i nonni,
perchè se sono solo chi pensi che io preghi.
Dall'alto mi vedete, ho ancora addosso i baggy,
l'hip hop se ce l'hai dentro non lo rinneghi
lo porterò con me nei miei futuri impieghi,
lo porterò con me donandolo alla mia baby,
oggi mi avreste detto "Luigi ce lo spieghi?"
Sempre nella testa risento i vostri echi,
grazie a voi non sono uno di quelli ciechi,
terrò sempre presente tutti quei consigli
che passerò persino ai figli dei miei figli.
[to-to all my brothers in the streets]
[bro-brothers, And you will stay in my heart]
[ma è troppo tardi adesso]
[they won't go when i go]
[they won't go when i go]
