Machine-translated from the Italian article
Il secondo secondo me is a single by the Italian rapper Caparezza, released on 22 May 2003 as the second single from the second studio album Verità supposte. The song opens with the chorus "Il secondo album è sempre il più difficile, nella carriera di un artista" ("The second album is always the most difficult, in an artist's career"), which refers to the forthcoming chronological successor to ?! and thus the rapper's second studio album. Later in the song, Caparezza ironically comments on today's collective stereotypes: starting with those concerning foreign peoples, through the English ("they will never have to change money, they will always drive on the wrong side"), the Arabs ("they write backwards") and Black people ("they have rhythm in their blood and a big penis"), up to those concerning politics ("when he was in charge the trains ran on time"), youth ("I'm not unemployed, let's say I'm studying"), the mass media ("don't watch Devilman, you'll become violent") and how to make a career ("you want to get ahead, you'll need a push") nowadays.
