"Mio Figlio" is a song by Italian rapper Jesto, which tells the story of a mother's disappointment in her son's lack of success. The mother acknowledges that she loves her son, but can't help comparing him to other successful children in the neighborhood. The son is portrayed as lazy, unmotivated, and perhaps even gay, leading the mother to feel like a failure as a parent. Despite being intelligent, the son doesn't apply himself in school and struggles with several subjects. He turns to drugs and spends his time hanging out in the park, coming home with bloodshot eyes. The mother accepts her son for who he is, but can't help feeling like she's failed to raise a successful child. The song highlights the pressure that parents face to raise successful children, and the disappointment that can come when they don't live up to expectations. It also touches on the struggles that young people face in finding their direction in life, and how they can turn to negative behaviors as a coping mechanism.
