Decimated teams, slaughters, you don't even have the slightest idea
I'm on S.K.Y, I'm on OKLM1
It smells like Gris Montaigne2, motherfucker, big taxations
I come by to kill you this week end, then I'll fuck your mother
I'll hum her "Si Tu Savais" like Jean-Philippe Smet3
Cristaline full of Ciroc4
The youth is snorting coke and aiming at the head
My country is plated 1-35, finger yourself
Hothead, posh guy with PGP 6
Working 24/24 full-time, stubborn, we're not coming back at the start
There's mothers weeping over their sons,
Yesterday they were still their babies
We're only thinking of debit
Ask Laps'7 for a .45 and I'll solve the rebus
I piss on the industry, yeah, who would've thought ?
Puto8, yet I warned
Me, I might die from the pellet
Two, three bastards will say that I was good
You're clapping Gedeon, faggot, you know that the traitor knows Leon9
In the jungle a fucking pig is a chameleon
I'm not counting the disappointments anymore, the people breathing down my neck
I was a kid, I saw hasch calming down grown-ups
There are crimes down here, mom, draw your curtains
Plants in full blossom under the neons
Cocaine drowned in the bain-marie
Die a slow death under the sunbeam
The sun burning out my city's tarmac
I fill it up, don't give a fuck about the barrel's price
I'm waiting for your head so I can reward the bonus
I'm waiting for the competition to be born, I'm waiting for your ass
I'm waiting for that bitch of a judge to release Karim10
I very much believe in figures, merely in mankind
Merely in mankind, at the risk of being hated
You want to impersonate us, we're too recognizable
They identify us at the blind test
I'm rolling a big joint, I'm pumping up the volume
I'm wandering in the district without a Teflon
I'm coming up on a motorcycle, you're taking everything on the left side
We'll not back up, you can come up with any name
Us, we know no Mr. so-and-so
Word has it that they're making the city shake
I'm saying a kid with an AK-47
Is more dangerous than the underworld's wrath in Italy
Motherfucker, I think we agree, the whole project is substantial
Seeing how much hope I put in it, seeing the kids we were
I think it's cool that we're getting through
Motherfucker, you can cheat over a period of time but not forever
Never too late to open a book
You made your golden rocord, motherfucker
In six months it'll be worth the price of copper
The most beautiful bitches in the most beautiful rooms
We're in a recession, motherfucker, right by the Champs-Elysées
We're saying that we're good, it's all relative
I'm saying I'm a good person, it's all relative
It's time, puto, the earth is waiting, run the business
We're saying that we're good, it's all relative
I'm saying I'm a good person, it's all relative
Please understand, I counted the losses
I wouldn't have given so much
You know, it's too much memories
So far away that we're forgetting, yeah
I wouldn't have given so much
We're forgetting, yeah
Please understand, I counted the losses
I wouldn't have given so much
You know, it's too much memories
So far away that we're forgetting, yeah
I wouldn't have given so much
We're forgetting, yeah
I was nothing, you son of a bitch, we're running to die free
I was only on the lookout for the clock, as if I was going to die within an hour
I'm not going to lie to them, I'm extremely well surrounded
I was already rapping at the playground, I wasn't seeing it as I'm living it
I grew up, Dad wasn't there to observe
He's alone, I think about it, it's true
For him, life is nothing easy
I think it has never been good to you
I would need millions just to catch up with the time wasted
And let them set me on fire in the city center if one day I forget you
I'm wrenching my mind, I need to get them out of this misery
As long as I'm healthy, motherfucker, as long as we have ideas
As long as we're alive, as long as we're alive
As long as we're alive, as long as we're alive
As long as we're alive, as long as we're alive
Please understand, I counted the losses
I wouldn't have given so much
I wouldn't have given so much
You know, it's too much memories
So far away that we're forgetting, yeah
I wouldn't have given so much
We're forgetting, yeah
I wouldn't have given so much
You know, it's too much memories
So far away that we're forgetting, yeah
I wouldn't have given so much
We're forgetting, yeah
