MONOPOLIO Lyrics in English TY1 , Nerissima Serpe, Kid Yugi

MONOPOLIO catapults us into a fast-paced road movie made of smoke, money and narrow escapes. TY1, Nerissima Serpe and Kid Yugi paint a vivid map of an underground economy that stretches from Bari to Los Angeles, from Bitonto to Guadalajara. In just a few lines you can smell Moroccan hash, Albanian grappa and Belgian beer while dodging police sirens. The artists brag about wearing latex gloves, driving like a Ferrari, and keeping a Buddha statue as a silent guardian – all while admitting they are “alive by a miracle.” It is the soundtrack of young hustlers who bypass Italy’s state monopoly on cigarettes, build their own supply chain, and treat the world as one big marketplace.

Beneath the swagger lies a darker reflection on survival. References to prison, weapons and friends who “produce the oil of the South” show the thin line between entrepreneurship and crime. The chorus, “testa in tha slime,” suggests heads stuck in a sticky, dangerous reality where every deal could be the last. Yet the song is also a celebration of street smarts and global connections: the South is home, Milan is the business hub, and the Middle East-style “caliphate” clique rules the North. “MONOPOLIO” is a gritty postcard from a world in which loyalty, hustle and a sharp mind are the only currencies that truly matter.
