Seems like you're hardcore, you make love
You brag about yourself like a future ex-poor
When you were going, I was coming back, I've never been a kitten living among the lions
I've been through that long before you
Ask your big brother, he'll tell you
Our hopes were thin
A bit like the space between the trigger and the finger
You see? Always angry, always something to prove
Drugs, searches, custody
You do dirty, you get cleaned
Honor to the believers who refuse to get involved in dirty business
They are the real brave ones
I don't know anyone who became rich who stayed alive and free by thugging
You get lifted or you get killed
Caught in the act or you get delivered
You get such a long sentence
That you enter ignorant, finally, you come out educated
All ghettos look alike (rah)
Stories repeat like a sample (rah)
Stories repeat like a sample (rah)
Stories repeat like a sample (rah)

Don't play gangster or gangster
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)

Seems like you're heavy, Arab, seems like you're dark
You're loaded, enemies are numerous
No one feeds you, the cemetery smiles at you
Something rotten in the kingdom of shadows
You're hot, brother, you don't know how to fight, it's not the worst
Every day, you aim for the frame but no shot
At the control, they speak in dog and snitch
Or ask your little brother, he'll tell you
You're the nice guy of the gang, I took you for the dealer
Very funny, raise the watch, it's the little one who provides the time
You can try everything, your whole team wiped out
I'm not going to pay you for a Kalashnikov and two minors
Watch out, potato in the head, bullet in the king (yeah)
Watch out, no fight, I go up with my associates in the ring
I do boxing, the abs
I have to call Raqi to do my back hair
They wait for me to save their life, all blown up
Dirty bandit, looks like I bought McDonald's, wesh
I've been around this all the time they've been sleeping
I come out of the catacombs to smoke under the Orly Bridge
Old murderers who scratch cigarettes
The envelopes, it's for the kids who take lives

Don't play gangster or gangster
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)

Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)

We all know a friend who got smoked
We know the alleged murderer
We know grieving mothers
Who accept what God has destined
We all know a friend who got lit up
That an opposing team wanted to eliminate
That the emergency room revived
Who's going to come back on the pipe
We all have a brother in prison
So we have a drooling to pressure
We all know little ones who had a runny nose
Who have become seasoned criminals
We have another one who is being pimped
This rodeo, that we can no longer reason
You see the street, I know it
Like Niska, I hung out with big shots

Don't play gangster or gangster
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
Don't play gangster or gangster (gang, gang)
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
The street, it's gangster or gangsta, oh yeah
