Mme Pavoshko [English translation]

This song is a dedication to Mrs Pavoshko

Do you remember me? Mister Diallo

Yes, Mrs Pavoshko, no

I'm not in jail or in hospital, no

I make hits, mrs Pavoshko

And your kids like me, mrs Pavoshko

Yes, yes, yes, yes, mrs Pavoshko

I still have the same inspiration, mrs Pavoshko

It's for my friends and their weeds, mrs Pavoshko

If you want, we tweet ourselves, mrs Pavoshko

Myself, head under water

I said to myself : "It's time

To set fire!" : Fire

Fire, fire!

Myself, head under water

I said to myself : "It's time

To set fire!" : Fire

Fire, fire!

Yo, do you remember me?

The litle black who sloged nutty couplets

Fuck the class rep, tell me where is the micro

Apparently someone denounced me, yo, she's spying me?

My life, my lessons, yes, yes, yes, yes

I don't f***ing mind

Yes I know, it's a pity, as a result

Your supervisors are against me, me , me

Yes, Mrs Pavoshko, no

I'm not in jail or in hospital, no

I make hits, mrs Pavoshko

And your kids like me, mrs Pavoshko

Yes, yes, yes, yes, mrs Pavoshko

I still have the same inspiration, mrs Pavoshko

It's for my friends and their weeds, mrs Pavoshko

If you want, we tweet ourselves, mrs Pavoshko

Myself, head under water

I said to myself : It's time

To set fire! : Fire

Fire, fire!

Myself, head under water

I said to myself : It's time

To set fire! : Fire

Fire, fire!

I made too much two way trip to Local Education Authority

Your speech in my head, I made it a real choral

You, you're sat behind your desk saying me "Go knock up"

And me, I prefer laughing over slaping you in the face

As soon as our looks meet, hup, adrenaline

Yes, I know, I don't look right through the math teacher

I analysed one of these Nakk's couplets, he kicked

Yes, I know mrs, rap almost spoiled my life1

Yes, Mrs Pavoshko, no

I'm not in jail or in hospital, no

I make hits, mrs Pavoshko

And your kids like me, mrs Pavoshko

Yes, yes, yes, yes, mrs Pavoshko

I still have the same inspiration, mrs Pavoshko

It's for my friends and their weeds, mrs Pavoshko

If you want, we tweet ourselves, mrs Pavoshko

I sweared to myself one day you'll dance on my songs

A the time when I wanted to obtain a Smith and Wesson2

A little voice whispered me "Let's shoot on the school!

It will make a little anecdote, the director is stupid!"

Why this stupid supervisor ask me clear out pockets

We aren't on police station, and, me, I'm a long-service

Give me your hours of detention, go to warm your workmates too

Be in rage, we are the high school's stars

Yes, nowadays, they'll say

I'm rapping just for kids, for money

What an odd guy, "so stupid" too

He thinks to have King Kong's strength

Yes, nowadays, they'll say

I'm rapping just for kids, for money

What an odd guy, "so stupid" too

He thinks to have King Kong's strength

And, etc

Yes, Mrs Pavoshko, no

I'm not in jail or in hospital, no

I make hits, mrs Pavoshko

And your kids like me, mrs Pavoshko

Yes, yes, yes, yes, mrs Pavoshko

I still have the same inspiration, mrs Pavoshko

It's for my friends and their weeds, mrs Pavoshko

If you want, we tweet ourselves, mrs Pavoshko

Myself, head under water

I said to myself : It's time

To set fire! : Fire

Fire, fire!

Myself, head under water

I said to myself : It's time

To set fire! : Fire

Fire, fire!

During class, teachers said

" You're one of the stupidest kid in school"

Throw out your notebook, set it on fire, fire

Fire, fire

And it's, for you, a warning,

No more excuse with the entertainment

Throw out your notebook, set it on fire, fire

Fire, fire

Yes, I did deliberately late to be fired

Yes, mrs, yes I smoked my spliff in toilet

Yes, I was present just in cafeteria

Yes, I haven't passed neither the baccalauréat3, nor the school-leaving diploma²

Yes, I haven't passed the GCSEs, yes, I thank you

You give e the strength to achieve one of my craziest dreams

"Eyes bigger than world"² 4

1. To understand like: rap was so intense, it gives him a lot of feeling, too much maybe2. Smith and Wesson are weapons like revolvers for the most part3. The "baccalauréat" is the group of exams sat by French teenagers when they are 18 and, as such, could be said to be roughly the equivalent of A levels in the UK, the HSC in Australia, or the high school certificate in the US.4. parody of the expression : "have eyes bigger than your stomach" title of his album
