SONG MEANING

What if it were up to me? Shiva’s raw rap anthem answers that question with equal parts swagger and soul. Over a hypnotic beat, the Milan-born artist imagines fleeing the concrete blocks and “dirty life” that shaped him, yet keeps choosing to stay. Why? Because the streets that once bruised him now fuel his mission: prove that sharing success with family, turning pain into poetry, and chasing huge dreams is possible for anyone who comes from nothing.

The lyrics flip between gritty memories and bright hopes. When the lights go out, fake friends vanish, mold creeps up the walls, and loyalty feels paper-thin. Still, Shiva lifts his mother into a new home, clings to true crew members at dawn, and raps into the mic like it’s therapy. Cash, demons, guilt, and scars try to pull him under, but he faces them head-on, asking a merciful God for forgiveness while vowing that money will never change the heart of the squad. In short, “Se Fosse Per Me” is both confession and celebration: a testament that even in a garden full of vipers, dreams can bloom if you refuse to run away.
