Sang Froid [English translation]

You think you know me like the back of your hand, but do you really know Fall?

If you don’t want me to fade away, don’t throw me flowers

Don’t put me in your telephone directory, my line has been tapped

Apparently, a bearded man is their bête noire

I’m not Moliere, I say things how I want and I speak

With a hard face, I speak with confidence and passion, I speak

Without making a show or an entire thesis of it

Yeah I get right to the point when I’m talking cash

And sometimes I don’t have the words, but it’s just a minor detail

Proof: the truth always lies in the mouths of babies, yeah

Only one tongue but two ears

To be twice as likely to listen to advice from your buddy

Cos we didn’t make it alone, we didn’t make it alone

It’s difficult to remember that when you’re flying high

Difficult to remember that when you’re in the public eye

But don’t be willing to do anything for the cash no matter the amount

Yeah, grind, grind, do your hassle

I know who my homies are, for the rest, I leave them to their fates

Whether it’s for the battle or for the war, dude, we’re always there for each other

The dogs bark but the pack doesn’t lose focus

If you want peace, yeah

You’ve got to wage war or you’ll pay for it, yeah

We sleep on our feet, we sleep with one eye open

There’s nothing that can get us flustered, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Be careful those you turn your back on, yeah

Those who will not turn back once they get past you

Be careful of those who always beat about the bush

Be careful of those who have big plans but sleep too much

Yeah, grind, and make some dough

Yeah, grind, make some dough, unless you’re okay where you are

Choose your associates wisely so you don’t get double-crossed

Avoid all those who could make you doubt yourself

Yeah, don’t play all your cards

Don’t be too hungry for the glory, everyone shines in their own time

Lay the first brick and be on the lookout

There are those who get down to business and there are those who look on

Difficult to resist when crime comes your way

Quick money is a whore with a hold on your zipper

Yeah, a bitch who seduces you and then points the gun at you

You want to put a ring on her finger, you’re toast

Yeah, tolerating flattery

Means caressing your ego, yeah, and that’s when it gets bloated

You don’t need that when you’re someone at whom they point the finger

There are those who fall from the first floor and then there are those who fall from the roof

You’ve got your ass inflated to the point where it’s become unacceptable

You’re going to need more than squats if you want to strengthen them

And you already know that everything that goes up will surely come down

If there’s a storm, how do you rise from the ashes?

Or piece up the broken pottery

You showed your face, you showed your back

You’ve clearly mixed apples with oranges

You’ve assassinated your confidence, your body’s still warm

If you want peace, yeah

You’ve got to wage war or you’ll pay for it, yeah

We sleep on our feet, we sleep with one eye open

There’s nothing that can get us flustered, yeah, yeah
