Boss (feat. Kermit)

Paky's song "Boss (feat. Kermit)" delves into the gritty and often harsh realities of life in the streets, portraying a persona that embodies the cold-blooded confidence and authority of a boss. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of someone who has risen above their circumstances through sheer willpower and a ruthless attitude. The repeated assertion of having "sangue freddo come un boss" (cold blood like a boss) underscores a sense of emotional detachment and resilience, essential traits for survival in a tough environment.

The song also touches on themes of distrust and self-reliance. Lines like "Non credo a te, neppure a Dio" (I don't believe in you, nor in God) highlight a deep-seated skepticism towards others and even higher powers. This skepticism is a defense mechanism, a way to navigate a world where betrayal and deceit are commonplace. The protagonist's readiness to take what he wants and his ability to wait patiently, as expressed in "Aspetto seduto come un boss" (I wait seated like a boss), further emphasize his strategic and calculated nature.

Cultural references to street life and the struggles of growing up with nothing are prevalent throughout the song. The mention of "vengo dal cemento, sputo sangue e piombo" (I come from the concrete, spit blood and lead) and "Siamo cresciuti con niente" (We grew up with nothing) provide a backdrop of hardship and adversity. These lines reflect a reality where survival often means engaging in illegal activities and facing constant danger. The song's raw and unfiltered portrayal of this lifestyle offers a glimpse into the mindset of someone who has had to become tough and unyielding to thrive.
