OPERE D’ARTE Lyrics

[Intro]
F.T.
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

[Ritornello]
“Free Esco” sopra i murales, povertà come in Zimbabwe
Passo in cella l’estate, ma intanto il mio conto sale
Opere d’arte nella sala, n-n-non sono sano
Questo viaggio è un po’ strano, mi sta salendo un po’ male

[Strofa]
Mi sto sentendo un po’ male senza usare sostanze
Parlo in un modo strano come Antonio Cassano
Pure in strada incassavo, s-s-sono ingrassato
NPT, ho fatto il mio patto, solo gente con le palle
In centro città sono armato, solo Louis V nel mio armadio
Giro con pregiudicati, chi sei tu per giudicarmi?
Tutti quanti criminali, è la moda, che ci vuoi fare?
Non sei dentro il film di Tony, non sei Antonio Montana
Omicidio premeditato, vieni farti un giro a Calo
Cadaveri dei bambini morti in riva al lago (Pow, pow, pow)
Ho iniziato col fare il palo, ora milli e prima i pali
Da penitenziaria a Ferrari è questione di attimi
Ti prego, dammi un attimo, mi sento a disagio
Con ‘sta gente c’entro un cazzo, devo starne lontano
Veloce come un ghepardo, c’è sese, facciamo cardio
Attaccante come Icardi, la .9 nei Calvin

[Pre-Ritornello]
Ah, .9 nei Calvin, Francesco s’è impiccato
L’abbiamo trovato appeso in cella dentro al suo bagno
Nessuno se lo ricorda perché è un tossico di stagna (Uah, uah, uah, uah)
Ovulo dentro la mia pancia, opere d’arte nella sala (Sala)

[Ritornello]
“Free Esco” sopra i murales, povertà come in Zimbabwe (Ah)
Passo in cella l’estate, ma intanto il mio conto sale (Uah, uah, uah, uah, uah)
Opere d’arte nella sala, n-n-non sono sano (Uah, uah, uah, uah)
Questo viaggio è un po’ strano (Uah), mi sta salendo un po’ male

[Outro]
(Uah, uah, uah, uah)
Uah
F.T.

OPERE D’ARTE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The introduction opens with the producer tag “F.T.” and a repetitive vocalization that sets a disoriented, almost psychedelic tone. This subtle yet haunting buildup hints at the emotional instability and confusion that permeates the track.

[Ritornello]
Simba La Rue begins the refrain by referencing “Free Esco,” a nod to a likely incarcerated friend, sprayed onto murals as a public sign of loyalty. The comparison of poverty to conditions in Zimbabwe intensifies the song’s commentary on deprivation. Despite spending the summer behind bars, Simba notes his bank account is growing—highlighting a paradox where material gain continues despite personal loss. The presence of “opere d’arte” (works of art) in his home juxtaposes the grime of his reality with a pursuit of refinement or beauty, all while acknowledging his deteriorating mental state and a surreal, spiraling journey.

[Strofa]
In the main verse, Simba confronts his internal collapse, expressing emotional decline without drugs, and comparing his erratic speech to that of footballer Antonio Cassano. He speaks of his past hustling and present lifestyle filled with violence, luxury, and loyalty to those with “palle” (guts). He challenges societal judgment, describing crime as a societal norm, while rejecting cinematic portrayals like Scarface. He narrates the brutal realities of life, from corpses by the lake to his own transformation from a lookout to someone driving Ferraris. There’s a plea for space, discomfort with his surroundings, and a comparison to a cheetah—fast, predatory, and always moving, with violence symbolized by a hidden gun.

[Pre-Ritornello]
This haunting section recalls a tragedy—Francesco’s suicide in prison. His death, and the fact he’s forgotten because he was a “tossico di stagna” (cheap drug addict), underscores the dehumanizing effects of marginalization. The phrase “ovulo dentro la mia pancia” could symbolize smuggling or a metaphor for carrying trauma. The mention of artwork again contrasts suffering with aesthetic imagery, reinforcing the duality of horror and beauty in Simba’s world.

[Ritornello]
The chorus repeats, anchoring the track with its central themes: incarceration, growing wealth, psychological instability, and the strange, dark journey that Simba navigates. The refrain’s repetition amplifies the sense of being trapped in a cycle of chaos and disorientation.

[Outro]
The outro closes with eerie vocalizations and a repetition of the producer tag “F.T.,” bookending the track with a lingering sense of distortion and unresolved emotion. It emphasizes the cyclical and haunting nature of Simba La Rue’s experiences.
