Yeah
When the thugs pray, it rains in paradise
Some rheumatism, because the street saddens me
At home, I- it's too hard to say
But we never regret anything, Edith Piaf, Lunatic
When the thugs pray, it rains in paradise
Some rheumatism, because the street saddens me
At home, I- it's too hard to say
But we never regret anything, yeah
"Salat janaza" at least once a month
At least zero times by natural death, at least once by bullet
My neighborhood is war, there's nothing new in La Courneuve
It's been two years since the former first of my class is in Fleury for murder
If I had grown up elsewhere, I wonder what I would have been
I say "if I had" because that's how we talk in my city
We only think about making money, winter, fall, summer
We will think about happiness once our parents are no longer in debt
Lying is useless
I tell you that it's okay but look at me, do I look like someone who is okay?
Why did I come to Earth, what is my mission?
I think about changing my vision, maybe even changing my religion
Another one-on-one, in the middle of the square
The biggest store in my city closes at midnight
As Socrates says, "trust in God but lock your door"
I rap Nubi's verses as if they were released yesterday
Spells, cast by aunts in the country
We are African, you know we have strange problems
And I puff up my chest, I won't have any inheritance
Except for a house in Douala, a house they will want to take from me by force
You have to see it to believe it, I don't want to see anything, I don't want to believe anything
We often say "goodbye" to people we never think we'll see again
I know you saw that I didn't cry at your funeral
But it's even worse than that, because I was burning inside
When the thugs pray, it rains in paradise
Some rheumatism, because the street saddens me
At home, I- it's too hard to say
But we never regret anything, Edith Piaf, Lunatic
When the thugs pray, it rains in paradise
Some rheumatism, because the street saddens me
At home, I- it's too hard to say
But we never regret anything, yeah
The neighborhood, the rap, just a between-two
We are not thugs, that's what makes us more dangerous
I thought that if I had money, I would want to save the world
Now that I'm starting to have some, I just want to save myself from this world
At night we talk less
why use your fists as a weapon when you have a handgun?
Look closely, when you've never had it, you can't lose reason
I hung out all my youth, as if I didn't have a home
Samuel Eto'o in the blood, run like a black to live like a white
Damn shit, yeah
You can't understand, no
You can't understand, because I don't want you to understand
And even if you understand, keep all your advice
I speak with a pounding heart, stuttering
It took me gold chains to realize that I'm a slave to time
My pain follows me everywhere, I don't like happy people
Because they remind me that at the moment, I'm not too
In a flash, if you ask me what I do in life
I would tell you that I do everything I swore I would never do
My color scares, rarely badly accompanied
Often the bad companion but what are you afraid of?

When the thugs pray, it rains in paradise
Some rheumatism, because the street saddens me
At home, I- it's too hard to say
But we never regret anything, Edith Piaf, Lunatic
When the thugs pray, it rains in paradise
Some rheumatism, because the street saddens me
At home, I- it's too hard to say
But we never regret anything
