SOGNO AMERICANO Lyrics – Artie 5ive

SOGNO AMERICANO Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s hyping up the song right from the start, calling it a hood classic, which means it’s a banger loved in the streets. He repeats his name “5ive” to make it stick, and gives a shoutout to MILES, Ddusi, and “poker d’assi,” hinting at a winning crew or team of top talents.

[Strofa 1]
He’s showing off his flashy lifestyle. He’s rocking Nike shoes and his girl is white, probably referencing both looks and status. His chain is designer, and his hoodie is Off-White, a high-end brand. His drink is mixed with purple (likely codeine) and warm Hennessy without ice. Trouble is part of his daily life, but he doesn’t care as long as he’s making money. He’s into shiny chains, custom-made by someone named Claudio. He rides around in a black Dodge Durango and has two cars at home he doesn’t even drive. He’s making money fast, like it’s snowing colored bills. It’s 5 in the morning and he’s just leaving the club, still wearing his shades, joking that if he takes them off, he’ll shoot laser beams. Basically, he’s living fast, flashy, and unapologetically wild.

[Ritornello]
He’s talking about how his life is a mix of different cultures. The girl speaks English, but he dresses in Italian fashion. He drives a German car and lives the American dream. He kisses her French-style, smokes Jamaican weed, and buys her expensive things like a Hermès bag, spending money like a rich Arab. The chorus repeats, showing off how global and luxurious his lifestyle is.

[Strofa 2]
He’s hanging out with a super attractive Asian girl and jokingly calls her “Fukushima,” likely referring to her intense presence. It’s her first time in Italy, and she’s amazed by how beautiful Milan is. He agrees but says Milan has both glamor and a darker, party side. She wants to visit luxury stores like Prada and go on vacations, maybe even to Atlanta. Then she starts dreaming about getting a ring, but he finds that idea crazy. His life has totally changed—just pressing play on his music flipped everything. He used to ride in a basic Fiat Panda, now he’s got Bentleys and Rolls-Royces. He upgraded his watch from a cheap G-Shock to a luxury tourbillon, and he doesn’t stash money in drawers anymore—it’s in safes. His old kitchen stove is replaced by personal chefs and waiters. He even has LED lights in his shower. People used to mock him, calling him a monkey, but now he wears BAPE, a top streetwear brand. Even though the girl says she avoids sugar, she still wants his attention—playfully referred to as “candy cane.”

[Ritornello]
Again, he’s highlighting his lavish, multicultural vibe. She speaks English, he dresses in top Italian fashion, drives a German car, and lives like he’s chasing the American dream. They kiss French-style, smoke Jamaican weed, and he splurges on luxury items for her without hesitation.

[Outro]
He wraps it up by repeating the “American dream” idea. Then he points out someone (Young Miles), and says Ddusi gave him a beat so good, he’s ready to destroy it—probably meaning he’s about to deliver a fire verse.
