Translation of MON ROI from French to English
Your mother will grumble when she discovers this text
She'll say it's too raw, I understand, you'll always be a baby in her head
These are the kind of things I've had to tell you since
I want to act like I'm a philosopher when I'm really drunk in a nightclub
At night, children sleep and roles are reversed
Adults become children again, excessively so
Everyone has their addictions, you have to admit it
Choose only one that becomes your slave and never your master
In truth, it's much better when you have none
How to manage this damn life while remaining undefeated?
I don't know, I only have really boring advice
Like all parents, I give them to you to make myself feel good
In short, don't die, find love and make money
I won't lie to you, when it comes to money, we're not all the same
Since it's not by working hard that you become rich, in truth
Otherwise, all African mothers would be millionaires
They'll tell you "Money doesn't bring happiness" haha
But the reason of the richest is always the best
Don't let fear lead you to nothing
People too cowardly to face their dreams will dissuade you from realizing yours
There's no excuse for being a slacker
If you can't do great things, do small things with greatness
When everything you've built collapses, I know, it's hell
And, if you've done it once, then you can do it again
Good for you if the best treat you as an outsider
It's good to be the best, but it's better to be the most original
All men are born equal, at least on the inside
Whites are also born equal, but superior equals
Like all of us, when you're younger, you'll have a lot of time to waste
You'll want to change the world and you'll mess up
The problem upside down, that's where it leads us
We always want to change the world when we should first change ourselves
Judging is a mistake
You're not better than others, it's just that your sins are different from theirs
Religions, why not? But, faith is better
And most religious people will drive you away from God
Even the most beautiful things stop, you have to accept it
Even the most beautiful things can end up getting on your nerves
You have to know how to move on, it's normal
Remember that all things end or end badly
When you sleep with a girl, always be tender
In love or not, it's still called "making love"
And, especially, don't compare yourself to porn movies
It's like the Avengers, it's fake even if it looks cool
If you go out, you're the one who invites
The "everyone pays their share" thing makes you look stingy and kills charisma
If there's a fight and she tells you that "there's no problem"
It means there's a damn problem
Take care of your mom, she definitely loves you more than me
She knows your shoe size by heart, I don't even know your age
It's in you that I believe
I know you're the greatest among us, that's why I called you "My King"
Know that, the worst enemy of love, is fear
You, you're brave precisely because, sometimes, you cry
It's those who don't open their hearts who are the most fearful
Don't try to be perfect, try to be happy
My King (My King) ooh, ooh, ooh
My King (My King) ooh, ooh, ooh
My King (My King) ooh, ooh, ooh
My King (My King) ooh, ooh, ooh
