These scenes of daily violence in the street
Take place in the heart of Paris, in the 18th district
The Chapelle neighborhood is linked to cigarette smuggling
To thieves, and to dealers (I have only one mentality)
These problems have doubled with the arrival of idle exiles
Who spend their days living off trafficking
Purchase your tracks

I have only one mentality
Either I shoot or he shoots me
I live only of illegality
I learn, he learns
I have only one mentality
Either I shoot or he shoots me
I live only of illegality
I learn, he learns

As a child, my favorite toy was a toy gun
Now I play, but bro', I count every shell
How many years have I been the devil's advocate, yeah-yeah
You want me to collaborate, but you don't know that from me who collaborates
Ends up like Biggie at the first traffic light
Finds a shell and his brain in a mess, yeah-yeah

Grown up quickly because here there is no
One who waits for you and takes you with him
I live the life, I live the life
Until when my brother, eh, eh
I will die rich, I will die in the street

I have only one mentality (pow-pow-pow)
Either I shoot or he shoots me
I live only of illegality (grrah)
I learn, he learns (pow)
I have only one mentality (pow-pow-pow)
Either I shoot or he shoots me (pow-pow-pow)
I live only of illegality (grrah)
I learn, he learns (pow)

As a child, my toy, but now that I remember I had no toys
You don't lack bread, you lack everything else, bro
You lack the balls, bro', to carry it, kho
Yeah, yeah, wallah, but I will make it
I won't go back to the street, I won't go back poor
I know you want to come back, baby, but I won't come back
I have to do business, count money, I don't tolerate
Yeah, yeah
I don't tolerate those who talk a lot
Those who talk little do a lot
Those who talk a lot do nothing
Those who talk a lot and do a lot
Those who don't talk at all
That's the people, bro', to keep an eye on, bro', to be careful
I will be number one, find me one
Who is above me, I put him under, you be sure
Who is ahead of me, I leave him ahead, I put him in his place
Who is behind me, stays behind without a future

I am number one, not number two
And if there is someone, tête à tête in the street
I have a 9.21 ready, brother, for you two
Don't make war with me, yours don't work

Pew, pew, pew
Pow, pow, pow

I have only one mentality (pow-pow-pow)
Either I shoot or he shoots me
I live only of illegality (grrah) (pow-pow-pow)
I learn, he learns
I have only one mentality
Either I shoot or he shoots me (pow-pow-pow)
I live only of illegality
I learn, he learns (pow)
