Autour de moi [English translation]

[Intro : Black M & Niro]

Umh

Paranoid, they got me paranoid

[Refrain : Black M]

Blinded by the spotlight, who are the people around me?

Let them know we trust in God, in case things go wrong

I enter the music shops with my cap over my face, who are these people all around me?

And if someday, I become a nobody, will they still want to see me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these women around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these men around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these people around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

And if someday, I become nobody, will they still want to see me?

[Verse 1 : Koba La D]

And thank God, I still got a still a few true brothers left but all the others turned fake

These bastards are only good at saying they're coping, just for that, they won't get even a penny

The sad truth is that to inch closer to success, we had to cut down our numbers

And in life, know that the bank notes of some people are often the source of unhappiness of others

I'm in the hood just to get some ndolé

You know, I'm living in a world of hypocrites

And humans are just bitches

I've learnt that you need to be the king of hypocrites

I swear on my mother's life that we're not like them, no

They're rappers, we're street

And to count the big bucks, well, we didn't wait for music

[Refrain : Black M]

Blinded by the spotlight, who are the people around me?

Let them know we trust in God, in case things go wrong

I enter the music shops with my cap over my face, who are these people all around me?

And if someday, I become a nobody, will they still want to see me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these women around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these men around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these people around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

And if someday, I'm no important, will they still want to see me?

[Verse 2 : Niro]

Paranoid, mmh, they got me paranoid

Paranoid, mmh, they made me paranoid

If you weren't Niro, you wouldn't be here

You wouldn't make half of what you've made through friendship

Be there for something other than the deception

And I had to count my cash

I don't need the bitch to help me fall asleep, here, I pray

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Always on the move, I'm not around, I don't want to hear your crap

You weren't there during the takeoff

You won't be there for the touchdown, you ran away before payment

We were together at the beginning, from Airsoft to the Kalashnikov

From police detention to Palace

That's how our time was spent

You've been jealous for long, don't tell us it's in your blood, we weren't born yesterday

They bent their asses over, I didn't shove it in, dude, I did the dirty work

Ouh, ouh, ouh

Fuck them, I have to build an empire

You'll have to cooperate, 2020, I avoid talking too much

Dude, war is terrible but not preparing for it is hell

So, don't give me a hard time, pay on time, you son of a bitch

[Refrain : Black M]

Blinded by the spotlight, who are the people around me?

Let them know we've put our trust in God, in case things go wrong

I enter the music shops with my cap lowered, who are these people all around me?

And if someday, I'm no longer important, will they still want to see me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these women around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these men around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Who are these people around me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

And if someday, I'm no longer important, will they still want to see me?

[Verse 3 : Black M]

Ooh, hey

I'm a healthy mind living in a healthy body, in some Saint Laurent's

Ooh, hey

I saw you spread lies about me and swear by the Holy Coran

Ooh, hey

If there's cash on the table, can I trust you to count it? (count, miscount)

We were in this together, why did you sell me out?

Oh I was wrong, I was dancing on Dom Pérignon

We used to walk side by side, or was I mistaken all this while?

If you show them the liquid, they'll all start sucking

And when the cat is away, the mice get high

Oh, don't greet me

All roads don't lead to Rome when you pass through Paris

Two or three opportunists want to sit at table with me

I only eat with my family, we're not at a tapas bar

Don't play the fool, we told you it's us

It's only before God that you'll see us kneel

In this damn game, nigga, tell me, what are you playing at?

I'm not from around here, I was at the bottom of the pit

How do I say this? It was a zoo

[Refrain : Black M]

Blinded by the spotlight, who are these people around me?

Let them know we trust in God, in case things go wrong

I enter the music shops with my cap lowered, who are these people all around me?

And if someday, I'm no longer important, will they still want to see me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
