Mumento D'Onestà

Ultimamente agg 'ntiso giurnalist', cantant' e ricere:
"Ma i Co'Sang a che parte stann?
I Co'sang a 'ro stanno? Pecchè nun piglian' posizion?...
Ij dico ca nuje nun rappresentam' 'e
Strade ma 'a gente ca ce sta a'dinto
A stessa gente ca ce sente e ce vò bene...
Pò tenè tre lauree o sta 'nguajat e precedent'
Pò esser' 'e Napule, comm'e qualsiasi altra parte d' Italia.
Cercamm e fa 'a musica,
Motivat a na sofferenz, ca nun è sul causat' a nu fenomen' criminal'
...nuj nun simm contro a nient', simm' a favor' e l'emozion...
Mai fatt' corsi è dizion'?
Funzion' si faje 'e fiction
Vai a lezion' è poliziott
Approfitt' re' sord' è l'area nord
Ma che te ne 'mport?
Accuminciann' a chi pe' nciarm' s'è sfrigiat', s'è 'mpicciat
Legg 'o giurnal, l'ultim' anno se chiamm "jurnat"
Cu' 'llat passegg' co' pigiam eggià
Perzechè che capa tien'? lap dance o Pap test?
Nun so' pe' tte si nun apparteng'
O magn co' manganiell' pe nun me fa mancà nient'
T'aggir' e pe' magia vire cantant, magistrat
Marciano e vonno sfruttà 'a scia ro marchij registrat'
'Nfacc so pallid', squallid, s'accamuffan'
Nemmanc 'e pall e fa l'informator re puff'
Necronom' a tiemp che metronom'
Performance erotic' a n'eroinomane
Prestanom' dinto 'e popol' nomad'
Nun saje l'enorm emergenz' re rom
È l'ottava municipalità e nuje luttammo pe l'emancipà
Nun rilascij intervist' pa' DDA
Nun ce può intimidì, nun ce fai tentennà
Dannat, sgamamm' l'ingann, ammagar 'ngarran
Senza bonific' gigant, politicant e bodyguard
E' necessario un momento d'onestà
Voi fate i nomi del sistema e no chill' ro' Stat'
Per sti quartieri siamo stelle sotto al soffitto
E questa è 'a rrobb chiù over ca amm' mai scritt'
Nun vennimmo suonne
O popol' nuost' o' facimm sunnà senza ipocrisia
Ma a sient a poesia? Strunz!
Tu ca t'appruoprij è na cosa ca nun è a toja
Mo è na moda a da' 'nguoll a criminalità organizzat'
Senza rispett pe' chi soffre
Je penso ca l'essera sulo ringrazià pa' notorietà ca v'ha dato
E cu' chest' je nun me sto schierann'
Ma rimmell', che faciss' si nun ce stess'?
Che diciss' dinto 'e piezz'?
Fuss' capace e te sentì artista 'o stesso?
'A fama è 'na lunga strada
E chesta è 'a scorciatoja cchiù banale
'E categorie so' bone pe chi nun tene identità
T'o dico je ca songo chello ca nun sarraje maij
E si 'o dissing è rivolto a 'mme
Ma nun faje 'o nomme dinto 'o rispetto
Liegg't 'e test' comme 'a Bibbia, attentament'
E pruov' a fa' coccos' e sord'
Mettenn' coccos' 'e nuovo dinto 'e canzoni
Na metafora o nu' singolon' pe tutt' 'a nazion'
Agend' dinto a nu vulcan' scuppiatt assaij primma e Savian'
Viaggiammo cu' l' autostrada pavata
"'O prufessor" ha imparat' coccos' a "gomorra" chist' anno
Aggia colpì chi se fa 'e sord 'ngopp 'o dialett' mije
Annientann' carrier', scetann quartier'
E ogni fan è nu figlije
E 'o messagg' è na fede
Eh... 'o sfizij mije foss' re' verè 'nfacc
Quanno senton' 'e parol' che sto pe dicere
Se pensavano ca 'e Co'Sang eran n'ato gruppo 'e chilli 'lla ca esser'
Sfruttat' stu fenomen...
Stu chiamammalo fenomen' ca è succiess' ca all' inizijo era
Pure interessante ma mò è diventato pe me nu fenomen' 'e baraccon...
Se pensavan' ca er un 'e chilli grupp' ca
S'ess' magnat 'e briciol' 'e coccrun'at...
Invece no, nuje ammo sempe tenuto 'e concett'
Nuostr', 'e concert' nuostr' e 'a genta nostr'
E amm' fatto chest' ra l'inizij,
Assai primma ro' libro e assai primma ro film...
Pe 'mme sti grupp' ca vulesser' fa l'impegnat'...
Pe 'mme sò sulo gent' ca...
Alla fottuta ricerca di successo, a tutt' 'e cost'
E ca 'o fann' sulament' pe fa cocc'
Concert' e cchiù, pe ascì dint' 'a television'
Pe se rà nu poco r' importanz' a final
Pecchè personalment' pens' ca si tu si capace e scriver' canzon' over'
Canzon' che toccan' 'a gente,
Tu nun tiene bisognij 'e te metter' aret'
'A coccrun'at... 'e furzà a 'fforz 'e cose
Chest è 'a verità
Ca 'lloro si tutt' sta... stu fenomn ngopp' a criminalità...
Ngopp' a tutt' chell ca s'è criato nun
Esistess' lloro pens' ca nun putesser' fa 'a musica
Pò ce sta n'ata cos che voglij ricere,
Perché primma aggio chiamat' stu fenomen "fenomen' è baraccon"...
'A cosa strana che je nun aggio maje
Capito e vuless ca 'a gente ce pensass':
Cioè pecchè dinto 'a colonna sonor' ro' film, c
A è diventat' 'o regal' è Natal' 'e l' anno passato,
Ca ricimm' 'essa denuncià, no?...
'Essa ricere certi 'ccos 'essa fa capì
All' Italia che succere 'cca abbasc'...
Pecchè stann' sul neomelodic: 23 tracce, 1 r'e Massive Attack,
Ca nun c' azzecc' nient' cu Napule e ati 22 e'
Neomelodic', vuless' domandà stu fatt ma pcchè?
Pecchè è tutt 'na denuncia e po' aropp' ce sta 'a collaborazione?
Allor è proprio over' ca 'e sord'
Fann' sta buon a tutt' quant'? (ha ha)
E po' n'ata cosa... pecchè hann' girato nu mese sano dinto 'e vele?
Cioè comme hann' fatt' a girà dinto 'e vele nu mese sano?
Cioè ve l'at' mai chiest chest?
A me me vene a rirere...
E po' saccio pure ati' cose ca nun pozz' ricere
Pecchè po' a final trasessem' dinto 'o personal
E je nun voglio offennere a nisciuno, però je ce tengo a coerenz'
Pecchè je sò nu napulitan coerent'
E chisto piezz' è...
è sulo pe spiegà buono 'a situazion' nostr' e a posizion' nostr'
Pecchè nuje simm' stat' semp'
Sincer' ca gent' ca ce sent'... Co'Sang...
Ce vulesse nu mumento d'onestà...
Giudicatev' vuje invece e giudicà all'at
Frà.

Moment of Honesty

Lately, I've been hearing journalists, singers, and researchers say:
"Whose side are Co'Sang on?
Where do Co'Sang stand? Why don't they take a position?..."
I tell you, babe, we don't represent the
Streets, but the people who live in them
The same people who listen to us and love us...
They might have three degrees or be in trouble with the law
They could be from Naples, like any other part of Italy.
We try to make music,
Motivated by suffering, which isn't just caused by a criminal phenomenon
...we're not against anything, we're in favor of emotions...
Ever taken a dictionary course?
Function, that's what you do in fiction
Go take a cop lesson
Take advantage of the deaf in the northern area
But what do you care?
Let's start with those who screwed themselves up, got involved to show off
Read the newspaper, the last year is called "journey"
With those who walk around in pajamas already
Because what head do you have? Lap dance or Pap test?
I don't know about you, if you don't belong
Or eat with a nightstick so I don't miss anything
Turn around and by magic see singers, magistrates
Martians who want to exploit the trail of registered trademarks
Their faces are pale, squalid, they hide
Not even balls to be a puff informant
Necronom' on time as a metronome'
Erotic performance of a heroin addict
We borrow from nomadic people'
You don't know the enormous emergency of the Roma people
It's the eighth municipality and we fight to emancipate it
I don't give interviews for the DDA
You can't intimidate us, you can't make us hesitate
Damned, we see through the deception, bitter deception
Without giant bonuses, politicians and bodyguards
We need a moment of honesty
You name the names of the system and not those of the State
For these neighborhoods, we are stars under the ceiling
And this is the most "over" thing I've ever written
We don't sell dreams
We make our people dream without hypocrisy
But do you hear the poetry? Asshole!
You who appropriate something that isn't yours
Now it's fashionable to swallow organized crime
Without respect for those who suffer
I think they should only be thanked for the notoriety it gave you
And with this, I'm not taking sides
But tell me, what would you do if it wasn't there?
What would you say in your songs?
Would you be able to feel like an artist all the same?
Fame is a long road
And this is the most banal shortcut
Categories are good for those who have no identity
I tell you, I am what you will never be
And if the dissing is addressed to me
But don't say my name out of respect
Read the lyrics like the Bible, carefully
And try to make some money
Putting something new into the songs
A metaphor or a single for the whole nation
Agenda inside a volcano erupted long before Saviano
We travel on the paved highway
"'The Professor" has learned something from "Gomorrah" this year
I have to hit those who make money off my dialect
Annihilating careers, waking up neighborhoods
And every fan is a child
And the message is a faith
Eh... my wish would be to see their faces
When they hear the words I'm about to say
If they thought that Co'Sang were another one of those groups out there
Exploiting this phenomenon...
This, let's call it a phenomenon, that happened, that at the beginning was
Even interesting but now it has become for me a phenomenon of shacks...
If they thought we were one of those groups that
Would eat the crumbs of someone else...
Instead, no, we have always kept our concepts
Ours, our concerts and our people
And we've been doing this since the beginning,
Long before the book and long before the movie...
For me, these groups who want to act engaged...
For me, they're just people who...
In the damn search for success, at all costs
And they only do it to make some
Concerts and more, to get on television
To give themselves a little importance in the end
Because personally I think that if you are able to write "over" songs
Songs that touch people,
You don't need to put yourself behind
Someone else... to force things
This is the truth
That they are all this... this phenomenon on crime...
On everything that has been created, if it didn't
Exist, they think they couldn't make music
Maybe there's one more thing I want to say,
Because earlier I called this phenomenon "a phenomenon of shacks"...
The strange thing that I have never
Understood and I wish people would think about it:
That is, why in the soundtrack of the movie, which
Has become the Christmas gift of last year,
Which, let's say, denounced, right?...
It's supposed to say certain things, it's supposed to make
Italy understand what's going on down here...
Why are there only neomelodic songs: 23 tracks, 1 by Massive Attack,
Which has nothing to do with Naples, and the other 22 are
Neomelodic, I want to ask this question, why?
Why is it all a denunciation and then there's collaboration?
So it's really "over" that money
Makes everyone good? (ha ha)
And then another thing... why did they shoot for a whole month in the sails?
I mean, how did they manage to shoot in the sails for a whole month?
Have you ever asked yourself this?
It makes me laugh...
And then I know other things that I can't say
Because then in the end we would get into personal matters
And I don't want to offend anyone, but I care about consistency
Because I am a consistent Neapolitan
And this piece is...
it's just to explain our situation and our position well
Because we have always been
Sincere with the people who listen to us... Co'Sang...
We would like a moment of honesty...
Judge yourselves instead of judging others
Brothers.
