One Way

[INTRO]
Keep that heat down, homie.
Don’t mistake loyalty for weakness.
You pull that trigger, you better not miss.

[VERSE 1]
Been walkin’ through the fire since I came from the block,
Blood in my sneakers, pain in my talk.
I gave my word, never flipped, never ran,
But these fake-ass snakes never stick to the plan.
I seen friends turn to ops for a stack of that green,
They smile to your face, but their soul’s unclean.
I got hate in my DMs, shadows lurkin’ at night,
But I’m prayed up, strapped up, born for the fight.

[CHORUS]
Don’t point, aim & shoot at me, homie!
You don’t want the smoke, don’t test my story!
I came from the mud, earned every scar I bleed,
Ain’t no fake love gonna bury my creed!
Don’t point, aim & shoot at me, homie!
I’ve lost too many, my heart’s too stormy!
You can hate from a distance, but don’t cross that line,
‘Cause I’ll protect what’s mine.

[VERSE 2]
Ain’t nothin’ more deadly than a hater with envy,
They see you rise up, then they aim where you empty.
I lost real ones, buried brothers in dirt,
And every goodbye still fuckin’ hurts.
I ain’t proud of the rage, but it made me strong,
Carried the weight when the world did me wrong.
I hustle for the fam, keep the angels close,
But I swear, sometimes I feel like a ghost.
Tryin’ to breathe in a world full of fakes,
Tryin’ to heal from the love that breaks.
Every smile’s another lie in disguise,
Every handshake might come with knives.

[CHORUS]
Don’t point, aim & shoot at me, homie!
You don’t know the demons that live inside me!
I’m built from loss, I’m wired with pain,
Still I walk proud through the thunder and rain!
Don’t point, aim & shoot at me, homie!
You think you real? Come and show me!
I ain’t scared of no fake, no phony threat,
I bled for this respect.

[BRIDGE]
I’ve been betrayed, I’ve been crossed, I’ve been left for dead.
But I still stand, homie, I still raise my head.
You can’t kill what’s already survived the grave.
You can’t aim at a soul that’s too wild to be tamed.
So if you see me ridin’, don’t mistake my calm.
It’s the storm you ain’t ready for, not the bomb.

[CHORUS]
Don’t point, aim & shoot at me, homie!
You don’t want the war that’s built inside me!
I’m fire, I’m pain, I’m the broken truth,
Still fightin’ for peace in a world so ruthless!
Don’t point, aim & shoot at me, homie!
I’ve been down, but I’m still holy!
Ain’t no bullet strong enough to stop my grind,
I live, I die, I rise each time!

[OUTRO]
Don’t point that piece at me, brother…
I’ve seen too many fall.
This life ain’t about flexin’,
It’s about survivin’ it all.
If you gotta aim at somethin’…
Aim at the pain.
Not the man who’s still standin’ in the rain.

Don't Point, Aim & Shoot at me Homie

On The Spot (prod. Vin Ace)

These songs were written in 2017 (the cover is a rare picture of drunk me at the time), which is when I started to realize I was very likely not a special snowflake and I had to stop complaining about things not always going the way I want, yet that's exactly what I kept doing - to whine about things not going the way I wanted - but, in a brand new indie pop fashion rather than long text messages. (How exciting.)

The production process was very long and boring as I was always changing bits and lryics. After completing the recording in 2019, it got to the point I was fed up with them and put them aside, focusing on other musical projects with my friends (which you can find here on the Collettivo page as well).

I do still believe the songs are quite dumb, however: lately my friend Loup said he wanted to listen to them and gave me a very long and deatiled feedback to convince me there's no reason why these songs should not be available online after all, at least some of them (three out of five, the other two are just too silly), despite their limitations. He's right I guess, so here I am uploading this. I also owe it to all the people I've involved in this and bothered with my demos for years - sorry guys, I'm sure you'll forgive me now that you are mentioned in the "thanks to" section below!

written, produced and performed by Diego Martini
piano in (1) played and co-written by Livia Gatto

thanks to: Matthew and Paolo for helping me with the recordings; Michele and Sebastiano for their constant, careful feedback (and patience); Livia for sending me the piano parts and her personal interpretation; Loup, for taking this stuff out of the hard drive; Lorenzo, for being my best friend back then, a life saver I'd say.
