ROOTS IN THE BOOT MEET THE TOWN!
Iâm here for a few reasons:
(Sugnu na stu munnu pe quarchi ragiuni)
1st â to break stereotypes.
(Primu â scassari stereuotipi)
2nd â to defend the honor of the title Italian-American rapper.
(Secunnu â difenniri lâunuri r'un rapper italu-mericanu)
3rd â to mix musical cultures and language.
(Tierzu â misculari curtule musicali e lingue diviersi)
4th â to enjoy myself, and entertain others.
(Quartu â addivitirimi e far addivietere)
Iâm no better than anyone else.
('un sugnu chiu bravu i lâauvutri)
I donât pretend to be something that I am not.
('un fazzu fintu râessiri chiddu cun sugnu)
This is my message.
(Chissâu me missaggiu)
I am âCostâOvestâ.
(Sugnu âCostâOvestâ)
