Lyrics
The mob is like a big famiglia
The Mafia is like a large family.
It all began in old sicilia
The origins trace back to old Sicily.
On a boat to America
The journey to America began on a boat.
Missing my home in Italia
Expressing nostalgia for the home in Italy.
And it's rough on the streets of America
Life is challenging on the streets of America.
And my life ain't so sweet in America
Life isn't easy in America.
And I won't be no slave to no minimum wage
Refusal to be constrained by minimum wage.
Prosecute me with raids cause my pockets stay paid ohhhh
Facing legal actions but remains financially successful.
This is La Cosa Nostra You better shut your boca we don't play games I told ya keep one hand on your holster.
La Cosa Nostra is serious; silence is essential.
This is la Cosa Nostra you better shut your boca watch where your nose is pockin' we sleep with one eye open
Highlighting vigilance and caution in dealings.
No opportunities so we created our own
Creating opportunities independently due to lack of external support.
No help from the system so we created our own
Independence due to a lack of assistance from the system.
Consiglieris and Capos paid off cops to made men and if you double cross us
Corruption within the organization; consequences for betrayal.
We'll call out the hit men
Retaliation through hired hitmen for betrayal.
And the money was made in America
Wealth accumulation within America.
By the gun and the blade in America
Highlighting methods (gun and blade) for success in America.
And if it ever leaks you've been taken the keep
Consequences for revealing secrets; dire outcomes.
Kiss you on both cheeks paesan you up shit creek whoooo
Serious repercussions for betrayal, depicted metaphorically.
This is La Cosa Nostra You better shut your boca we don't play games I told ya keep one hand on your holster.
Reiteration of the seriousness of La Cosa Nostra.
This is la Cosa Nostra you better shut your boca watch where your nose is pockin' we sleep with one eye open
Warning to be cautious and discreet (repeated).
