HH from the Italian Diaspora

Gente GuastaQvinto Potere (2001)

We're in a real fix!
(Italian original)
Translation by Leo Murata-Mastragostino

Esa:
Memorize it
This isn't a big come back
Ya know why? Because we've been here all the time, all the time! (uh)
This is how we start it
The team that terrorizes
Year 2-0-0-1…and there ain't any, ain't any! (uh)
We're in a real fix!
How?
In a real fix by law
Boiled like Mexicans
Never put down like sheep
Nor put down at ninety
And yeah we're antagonists agonists experts
We divert the suspects
we throw back flat balls to the wheel mechanics you bet!!!
How much? Fifty! Or else we can't go on living,
Rather we change
Better get the hell outta here
"why El Presidente?" Idiot, other question
come here or send who ya want tomorrow at dawn
here we don't copy take shit for publicity or sell out propaganda
no one every tries to get everything for themselves everyone's got their own weed
here they already made us intend that they don't do it for money (zero)
too much empty shit that's dripping and meanwhile we gotta wait
or raise the curtains
ripping off the blindfolds from your eyes
Slices of ham on your ears a melon two gnocchi
pizza quattro stagioni or weirdos deep-fried shit zero wimps (1)
coffee, kill coffee, kill-kill the coffee of you insist
how are you (ya know?)
Here we advertise Riza we're in a real fix zero stagings, dumbass (2)

Memorize, we're the team that terrorizes
all the dancehall queen certify that revives
the fact that with us concretes
good news drink a Red Bull that gets raised
always faithful to a music that delights us
the appetizier's good! The dinner, when's it starting
ready for the presidency I talk without spite
we're in a real fix dumbass.

Polare:
Write on the forgetful which is the good name?
head full of lemon lemonhead
led red fixed in Red Alert doesn't got a ditch,
Redrum all over you
drama when the funky drummer's broken on your beat
tired of the usual song with the same motive, the Tiger of Malaysia (3)
we have tons of this resin from Mompracem and you buy it off of us, (4)
always with the same accomplice

Polare is extra if there's shit to take out Esa and Polare subliminal
message that makes you evaporate
from solid to vapor it's the usual shooting of spores
fecundate the second time find hate or love
Get some air in the night pitch black like waiting
be guilty of fear that delays you
there's some guys that risk death by avidity

I let go of the controls of who copies better to relax on a beach and
letting go of the play go!
Understand? Buy new inspirations for those who buy them
tons of medicine stitches but the structure doesn't hold
ugly-ass architecture, piercings on tits with the thing that hangs down,
lost but it dipends,
Whichever way you look at it it depends,
Whichever way you look at it it gets you.

Memorize, we're the team that terrorizes
all the dancehall queen certify that revives
the fact that with us concretes
good news drink a Red Bull that gets raised
always faithful to a music that delights us
the appetizier's good! The dinner, when's it starting
ready for the presidency I talk without spite
we're in a real fix dumbass.
