Deviens Génial [English translation]

[Intro]

Be great

[Chorus]

Be great, be great

You still don't know what hell's waiting for you

The gaze of some, the rejection of others

If you're weird, if you're not funny

Be great, be great

Be great, be great

Why would they love you only the way you are?

If you're not like them when you're natural

[Verse 1]

Be great, be great

Make them envy you, make them look at you

Make them tremble, make them dream

Let it be a chance to come talk to you

Be great, be great

If they can't use you, what are they gonna do?

Leaving you in a corner, looking at you the wrong way

In time, you'll become bitter

Unity requires common enemies

A whipping boy to make friends

Gotta have fun, got to have friends, huh?

Please, baby, don't become a common enemy.

Please force yourself, make friends

Please, baby, don't gossip

For that, no choice, you have to be great

Be great, be great

[Chorus]

Be great, be great

You still don't know what hell's waiting for you

The gaze of some, the rejection of others

If you're weird, if you're not funny

Be great, be great

Be great, be great

Why would they love you only the way you are?

If you're not like them when you're natural

[Verse 2]

Become powerful and smart

Make money, get into the dance

Grow up but stay beautiful like a child

If you're not good enough, they'll laugh at you

You have to be someone to be opened up to you at the front desk

You have to be someone so they pour their heart out to you

And even if, one day, you find your half

You can't stop her from asking herself

"Don't I deserve someone more great?

Huh? I'm so great"

Be great, be great

Only I will always love you unconditionally

The others will ask for dreams, sex, money

Or just that you're at their disposal

Be great, be great

[Chorus]

Be great, be great

You still don't know what hell's waiting for you

The gaze of some, the rejection of others

If you're weird, if you're not funny

Be great, be great

Be great, be great

Why would they love you only the way you are?

If you're not like them when you're natural

[Outro]

Don't become like them but take their gimmicks

Don't think I valid, I'm just anticipating, I'll change the rules, but you grow up fast

Don't become like them but take their gimmicks

Take cover, son, you have to anticipate, I'll change the rules, but you grow up fast

Be great, be great

Be great, be great

Be great, be great

Be great, be great
