Tempête [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Even if I blew up, I wouldn’t lead a healthy life

I watch people from behind the blinds

Alone in my dirty apartment, my sister studying for an exam

There’s no impartial law except God’s

I’m surrounded by goons on the sonar

But it’s too late when things get real

The accused sit on the bench and sweat like in a sauna

Mothers weep like Solaar

Evil has taught me you’re never safe

The blade flashes, a mother prays, “Why did you take him from me, oh God?”

It’s not God, it’s Man

Despicable, their souls are doomed by sex and money

I’ve seen hate breed crime

It’s like their hearts looked into the eyes of Medusa

Courage and fear together are my two weapons

When I feel like I’ve lost my roots, I climb trees

From up there I can see death, you need to be ready if it comes

Life’s about enjoying the view, then cutting off the branch

[Chorus]

Storm warning, here we’re easily tempted

We wanna end up on the right side of the tinted window

Oh yeah, I know you want a taste

Of the foundation and the form so long as it clears your mind

Oh yeah, here we’re easily tempted

We wanna end up on the right side of the tinted window

Oh yeah, I know you want a taste

Of the foundation and the form so long as it clears your mind

[Verse 2]

I go out aimlessly at night like a sleepwalker

There’s some dreams men don’t get anymore

I saw this girl, we were alone on the bus

She had red eyes, she didn’t just drink

She had drugs in her Balenciaga bag, too

She ended up dead for snitching on a guy

In Paris, some get lost, some find hope

In stealing designer agnès b. and Nike SB

It’s cold outside, there’s no more humanity

A man is dead, lifeless in front of an empty apartment building

“We’re in a crisis!” A crisis? Who’s it really hurting?

You, me or the guy who jumped from the roof?

[Chorus]

Here we’re easily tempted

We wanna end up on the right side of the tinted window

Oh yeah, I know you want a taste

Of the foundation and the form so long as it clears your mind

Oh yeah, here we’re easily tempted

We wanna end up on the right side of the tinted window

Oh yeah, I know you want a taste

Of the foundation and the form so long as it clears your mind

[Verse 3]

Copping Clark Wallabees like Walter White

Sister, take my hand, brother, give me a kiss

I rub shoulders with girls with perfect bodies

I got more style than Karl Lagerfield

The world of art is egotistic, they sell street art

But don’t want to see my goons' graffitti ‘cause it’s vandalism

Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

You can feel the aura in our raps, get out your coats

We’re gonna have a thunderstorm soon according to the oracle

My conscience told me, “Who are you?

Do you wanna live in vice or in peace?”

It depends where the cash is at, we must be stupid, yeah maybe

But my pen can shut Houellebecq up

Here we’re easily tempted, you better live what you say

I heard, “Empty the cash register!” The next day, the cops were investigating

[Chorus]
