I learned the clash in the street, barbs, I've shot hundreds of them
And when we went down as a team, we were taking down antennas
It was shit at my place, it's not going well but we're still showing off
I took revenge outside with my brothers who were looking for the same comfort
In the motley team we form, not the same backgrounds
So the softest ones played tough in front of the walls, we don't like to fear
Left my parents' house, I had nothing but two almost empty suitcases
I rob the shops, now, I'm alone, I have to stay sharp
I slept in staircases or at my friends', but it bothers me
And, in my songs, I played roles, I talked about euros and expensive clothes
It's too easy to be complicated, it's complicated to be simple
We got lifted by a whole neighborhood, we were maybe five
In front of others, we will exaggerate the figures and each other's exploits
We will turn slaps into warheads, just to shock
Fascinated by the real G's, kilos of shit in the Jeep
And then in the cemetery of dreams, lie our jackal hopes
No more space in live memory, stories on band-aids
A kind of morbid boredom that makes you hope for a drama deep down
And then the desire will disappear at the age of the first one who disappeared
When I realized that I was a coward, one of those who romanticize the street
A microphone in his briefcase shines, a rude person took it out
My brother told me "look at the prices", not a penny but we took it
At least, we tried, that's it, here's the future
Trying to prove that you're a real one, becoming it by stopping trying

Yeah
Later, I will thank the traitors for highlighting those who are real
Who could have predicted that rap would save me?

I have to be there for my social cases, all this also worries me
I'm not that carefree guy anymore, I've known more than one suicide
An ambulance passes and on the prod', the sirens are tuned
They want to know if I still remember them
The blood freezes, always the same nightmare
The truth hurts, and I only lie to the people I love
I feel like I'm bothering, they hate that I'm rising
The truth hurts and I only lie to the people I love

I weave my hatred and, the day when lilies of the valley are sold in sprigs
Moved, facing the sea, I smelled this sea spray wind
Rap is the art of the cry, the taste of the salt of broken rules
But the man from whom you borrow will leave his on the weapon of the crime
So I refuse the offerings, the spirit will cross the sky
When the sufferings will be without brake, one of us will overthrow the leaders
With a saffron-colored laugh, none of these bastards confront each other
It's the soldiers we leave at the front and it's not them who will save them
Deep down, it's true, up to Sevran, barely weaned, we have a hot head
Apart from the fam', I'm like destiny, I hold on to few things
I moved too much to claim a neighborhood
I played a role in front of the hyenas with my own idea in mind
I was scared to death every time I had to break a head
The vultures waited as if I was taking a test
And in a dirty plan, alert signal on the monitor
It can cost you a lot to dip in, like at the Molitor pool
You can tell me that you control but you're still an alcoholic
It makes me sad, even when you smile at me with a melancholic air
Seine Zoo, the young fennecs, the lion cubs, the baby elephants
I've aged but I'm still afraid of my mom and the ghosts

I have to be there for my social cases, all this also worries me
I'm not that carefree guy anymore, I didn't just know one suicide
An ambulance passes and on the prod', the sirens are tuned
They want to know if I still remember them
The blood freezes, always the same nightmare
The truth hurts, and it's only to the people I love that I lie
I feel that I'm bothering, they hate that I'm rising
The truth hurts and it's only to the people I love that I lie

The first relationship made you suffer so you'll wreck the last one
But, the struggle, it's like a climb with infernal rules
And it settled its scores with fire extinguisher blows at the boarding school
When the seconds of an endless night that nothing will reach stop
Never alone, so my scars cry at the interval
Fear inside, we kill it but we bury it badly
Dear sir, we build ourselves on unbalanced bases
In love, I fuck everything up, forced to devastate what scares me
Don't let yourself be disrespected when a guy hits on you, miss
If I was good in my head, I wouldn't have chosen to be an artist
Sell them your fucking smooth rap and the contract slips
Yo, I don't see your friends on the tracklist anymore
Given how you suck, I'd be surprised if they shoot you
Independent like PNL, we want to be the first like Jul
In rap, it's our suffering that we sow like clues
It's like a fucking revenge when I bleed the record companies

Wait,
Go ahead, what does he want? Does he think I'm going to answer or what?
"Uh Ken, it's Galvin, Galvin Lasagne from (bip) Music
We would like to talk to you because we are developing the urban music branch of
Uh, of our company so uh, and uh first to congratulate you
For this great success you've had"
Go, get out of here
