[Couplet 1]

I became the one the one I dreamed to be would have dreamt of

Do you get it? I don't want to wake up

A luxury brand told me "We don't want rap."

You know how rich folk are

I said "Oh well, peace, I don't talk"

The next day, I banged their spokesmodel

She looked like Natalie Portman

She told me "I don't want a couple's life either,

tonight, I want to cut myself off from this repulsive world,

baby, come to my hotel and we'll turn off our mobile devices."

I know quite a bit about that, I'm not telling lies

She bit the pillow like it was a cheesecake

But it's always the same, she took my hands

She told me "Do you love me?", I said: "No, you trouble me."

I repeat myself, I have no guidelines

You're not the only real pearl in my repertoire

One night, wasted under the streetlamps

Maybe I'll turn towards you

Time goes by, I don't know what it means to be still, I

ended up wasted in the middle of the Champs1, in my city of champions

I'm like a bubble of champagne

Started from below, I want to pop at the surface2

An evening full of alcohol, give me their cash

The salmon will be pink and the champagne will be rosé

Mac Cain Family in the studio, it resembles Woodstock

Five in the Mini Austin, the sound takes you to Houston

[Couplet 2]

I became the one that would have dreamed of being the one I dreamed of being

Do you get it? I don't want to wake up

The same luxury brand told me "Okay, we'll accept your rap."

You know how rich folk are

I said "No thanks. I built my own brand,

and remind me to hit up your spokesmodel again."

I haven't given her any news

We weren't unaffected, we weren't ourselves

Always on the move at night

But, what counts, is surpassing yourself

I owe it to myself to take advantage of the life that I lead

Before happiness becomes another hard blow

Before, I didn't have the means to dress myself well

Now I put myself in haute couture

I've seen people drown, I'll let myself explain

The fact is, it's hard to pay the rent with a poor salary

In fact, for certain youth slitting their wrists3 has become

the only way for them to make big money4

[Bridge]

From what I've taken, I'm surely high

I feel close to L.A.

Me too, I'm built on faults

[Couplet 3]

Everyone is bad, they love money so much

You talk about friendship but you leave once you don't need my help anymore

Even under jet lag, I stay a gentleman.... Liar!

It's hard to be a youth that rejects evil, my heart

Irradiated by gamma rays, let me get clean

I read the manga shelves while standing, sometimes I might seem like a kid

"You're dangerous, Nekfeu, on stage. You dick around, you go too far!"

Caution is the mother of safety.... Safety, you motherfucker!

They want to give me advice, my telephone vibrates

They film my concerts instead of living them

[Outro]

Fremont!

You see this image that people have of rap?

We're going to change that...

1. referring to the Champs-Élysées in Paris2. it's referring to wanting to die a bigwig3. literally 'cutting their veins'4. this is a pun on words in French, "grosses coupures" can mean both "big cuts/wounds" (referring to self-mutilation) and also "big money"
