Ma musique [English translation]

[Intro: Black M]

Yeah

Big Black, ahahah

[Black M & choir]

They’re the ones who gave me the desire

To go faster than music

Life is not all about making money

Ask all those great artistes

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

They’re the ones who gave me the desire

[Verse 1: Black M]I

I don’t know if Ray Charles saw his success

Man, time flies and artistes come and go

Me, I imposed myself on the hip-hop world after listening to classics like Big Poppa

Determined, I said to myself: “Who can stop me?”

I just wanted to innovate, shine like the King of Pop

I already imagined myself on top of the bill

Dancing with my guys and girls on the stage

Wow! Like James Brown

Keep fighting till the last round

My entourage used to tell me over and again that it was no use being in a rush

The TV channels wait for you as much as they wait for Elvis Presley

My Sexion has been compared to the Beatles

We were hailed by the crowd since the day of our first battle

Check out my smile, Barry White

Those are the songs that you play all over Paris at night

[Refrain]

[Verse 2: Black M]

I don’t know if my fans know the Flipmode Squad

All I know is that the competitors watch our flips when we hang out in the hood

Ou-la-la-la

I’m from the time when we used to dance to the Fugees at night

What’s up, what’s new?

The Big Black is here, around to get the business running

Everyone knows me, blacks, arabes, whites

Dude, don’t doubt it, I have the flow of 2pac

Champion like Freddy Mercury

I’m in the future it’s in ten years that you’ll say “it’s the real deal”

Hey yo the purists! Stop the brothers!

Commercials have existed since the time of Aretha Franklin

Passionate like Bob Marley

Do you remember, dude, when all your friends were laughing

Sure, if I get away I have to assure you of a tour

My voice cracks but it’s not that of Tina Turner

[Bridge: Black M & choir]

Everybody say Black!

We’re doing our thing

Everybody say Black!

We’re doing our thing

Everybody goes:

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

[Refrain]

[Outro]

They’re too many, I can’t mention them all

But I can mention a few of them like:

Stevie Wonder, Prince, Whitney Houston, Cindy Lauper, Marvin Gaye, Madonna, Jimi Hendrix

And our own Africans huh!

Papa Wemba, Salif Keita, Youssou N’Dour

Even back at home we have a Guinean called Petit Yero

Ah buddy this one is also a legend

Ooh! Ah! Ooh! Ah!

And then also I’d even say Sexion d’Assaut are legends

Huh! Don't you think so? No? But of course, I think we are

Come on it’s in the clubs in any case

Eyes bigger than the world

The world bigger than my eyes

Big Black M

Stan-E on the beat
