L'Amerique 04:20
Even if you take your time you won't understand my pain fam Cos your emotions are as real as a fake tan You made your plans to be the main man See you got a name for yourself but truss me I'm bout to make mine The wrong perspective makes you egocentric Now we got Donald trump running for elections A bunch lies that will cost a hundred thousand lives You run out of credit no surprise that we don't get your message think talking shit makes you forget but we all know that's incorrect Probably plotting bout the country you'll invade next Realised I wanted more so changed the way I thought before Pick up the microphone pronounce the syllables to open doors them other rap niggas like to brag when they rap They all think they're shit even doe their bars are crap Promoting the taste of crime that's how they've got us in a trap But ima find the strength to act and that regardless of this fact So I'll Supply the filthy wisdom just exercise my vision This a Conversation sparking certain inspiration If we talking bout flows I'll be creative like Picasso what genius y'all know that ain't a motherfucking weirdo But don't chase the fame in vain you know all these hoes the same Just make the magic happen like that nigga David Blaine more than gifted by this point you probably feel my presence Read between my lines I guarantee you'll learn a lesson Anticipation of tension creating impatience Lyricism directed towards a new dimension Cos The greed for money made judas sacrifice his saviour & It's kinda funny how he didn't get to spend it neither Promises of education of the non believer Starting to perceive the understanding taught by Martin Luther Society shapes into a certain type of nigger One with a blurred vision who shall fail to see bigger picture Tryna find answers in the blood of his brothers Now ask Cain if he was able to Went from kings and queens to slaves submerging their success Appreciation of our sins due to the fact that's it's a trend A coloured man with charm and only one task Another chance to let my craft redefine the word class My perception will stay the same the day I'm seeing money bags Cos in this culture clash I made a plan to construct a path Spit the fire on these tyrants so they could cut the crap Sick and tired of the sirens on their cars silencing our past And we all know that they been tearing us a part But I'm this scientist of art that ll spread the light upon the dark It would have never got this far if we united from the start No need to be tony stark to decipher their mirage It'd be a white lie to claim that black isn't beautiful Like getting a booty call but pretending that duty calls Know it's hard to move on from your goddamn past But It ain't right to be wrong when the wrong feels right First things first enjoy the seconds you know time flies fast Here's a dry fact bro you gotta fight back So When I'm on the mic I'll be a Tyson with the lyrics Entitled to be winning I'm a titan to these gimmicks My passion be explicit fuck the fashion of the critics So pay attention to the comments Like a lesson from a sibling This the perfect coordination between thought and action Those secret allegations shall not mean regression The purpose of temptation is to strengthen understanding So focus on plan A who gives a fuck what the other plan is Serving all these rappers I ain't cooking anymore Yet I ain't even tryna prove that I'm the shit no more the inspiration given coming from my composition Shall be more than enough to silence my competition

Francais: Le sens comun a pris la greve Alors J'ai poursuovi mon reve Je vis dans un monde ou tout le monde crois au pere noël Comme declarer la Guerre avec une bouteille biere La puissance de mes paroles suffira pour les faire taire Avec mes narrine de Renoi je sens la jealousy dans lair Mais Il ni ya que tres peu d'intelligence dans la collere Il ons trahis nos ayeux et on fait souffrir nos ancetres Aucun de grate ciel ne reste debout depuis que le monde et a lenvers Depuis que cette bande de chacal a bombardee la capital I'll on essayer de prouver qu' ils me sont pas des vollailles Les deux cotees on demontrer un comportement de vaches Confirmation que poure etre heureux l'home dois agire comme l'animal Ya pas grand chose a dire quand la folie deviens banal A part que Le coeur de l'home est moitiee bien et moitiee mal L'etas va grailler come un porc pendant que les autres aurons la dalle Alors On fait largent salle et se dechene oh foot en salle La delicance est redoutable Quand La Libertee est la destination du voyage Poursuivre l'etoile mais je ne suis pas un Roi Mage Faire beaucoup cheese moi j'aime trop le fromage Tu ne sais pas faire se que je fais Alors c'est trop domage Tu n'ai Cunne victim de ce putain d'mirage Mais Si ta meuf a disparu cest par se que jlai pris en ottage En effet c'est un outrage mais Bon quoi sa soulage Si tu parle de moi dire leur tous que je suis le meilleur Et si j'etais toi je penserai a cacher ma soeur Ronjer par la renquoeur mais Je n'ai pas Peur de ses rappeurs Quand jrap jy m'ai mon coeur mon sans mes larmes et ma sueur Come le soleil dans le ciel je v'ai aporter la lumiere Encourager le faible et renoncer les tenebre Le seul vrais Dieu est notre pere qui est au cieux Alors je l'ui rends la gloire meme les jours pendant qu'il pleut English: Don't even excuse my French Don't interrupt the intellect when I'm talking that sense I do have respect your attempt But if I'm the player that they select then you gon warm that bench Of course my parodies are jokes but know the purpose of my rap is to bring clarity and hope I shall rapidly compose, find me a Marylyn Monroe Cop a couple clothes and take a trip to Monaco I stay close to my art by making sure I give you bars that are close to your close to heart when the times are getting dark If it's a dog eat dog world Be the type that doesn't bark Love your mum respect your dad family is all we have have very little patience for those pointless interactions That's why I'm never stressing over basic competition I said I was the best y'all chose to not listen You ain't got the vision you might need an optician Talking bout the world makes me mad at politicians Praying you can tell that my words were promptly written Working in the dark the principal of camouflage Yet lies are closer to their lips than the trim of their moustache Just turned 21 bitch I'm finally a Man No Tyson just a Mic I got the power in my hand tell the rich white man that I see through his plan & when I meet his woman she'll more than a fan Fuck that fuck her fuck you, I'm a French bastard rap retarded Oh my god he's so rude call me Chef like Nells you shall all get served Speaking on behalf of my people in the struggle Hit bitches on the sly but Im faithful to my hustle I spit sick this verbal disease Dramatically describing all the things I perceive Bars and flows and there's realness in the jokes Only a certain mind could catch the puns within the quotes Do it with my eyes closed yet do not feel the need to boast Simply exposing rappers and the rich white folk

Meditation 02:15
At times to times I find myself complacent Stuck up in the world of my imagination All these rhymes are the fruit of my talent Exiting evaluation brought to me by admirations talking Biggie, Pac, Pun, J.cole Micheal Jackson Clearly as one reborn reincarnation Carrying the hopes of my generation Cos when I get the mood I make one with the tune But This Comfort zone in most cases means repetition And come on bro face it it isn't the satisfaction That you been seeking for and talking before, I mean don't life seem short when you kinda get bored The rap game ain't the same no more They wanna hear your voice 808s Describing the various ways of which you got laid The drugs you take or sold and how much you got paid There's nothing to blame but the ignorance Even doe you're passionate you can't be mad at them The system in which we live in, forces you to adapt forget all the facts Follow the map then dwell on the past I'm a pro with tools it's the reason why I rap I'm here to showcase why them others are crap They record on logic yet they never really make sense They're Gossip bitches referred to as made men I tried a 9 to 5 that shit didn't really work Use to get high all the time yet I never felt so down to earth Now living by the spirit yet driven by the ego Reaching artistry even deeper than Picasso's Forget the non believers know I'm here to teach the teachers Aware that patience teaches but constantly misbehaving So this little uni fame don't interest me no more Needing a change cos inadmissibly broke If you're coming against me you gon be needing some hope Cos my dopamine level is overly dope Notice is shown, that I overexposed opposing souls with a boldness of tone I'm like the French Al Capone

Just smoked a spliff then climb up the ladder So tell the snakes on my feet that I'm to high to care Bout their presence and essence Left em in the past call it medieval renaissance Now I'm finding myself in the garden of Eden the only thing in my sight a beautiful woman She got the munchies that'll explain the apple picking Welcome to the land of my tangible imagination Head up in the clouds you would swear that I'm a dinosaur All I need is herb me I could never be a carnivore Through the wrong and the right I been seeking the light Know I fucked with these bitches but I been seeking a wife I gotta write this lyric just before I forget it Proven to be this troubadour feeling kinda romantic Turning feelings into songs going places to places Pronouncing the type of words that make the cripple wanna walk Searching for a new start yet faithful to the old ways Thinking bout my life reminiscing the old days If it's the first time you hear me rap know I share your excitement That cockiness within my tone comes with along the French accent forget about the past and the things you know well Life is your bitch take her to the hotel Body so fine make a nigga speak French like C'est pas vrai oh mon Dieu t'es trop belle If the plan falls apart just pretend it goes well And now I'm always happy like that nigga Pharelle If they say they hate me tell em joyeux noël You don't even know the half I make em haters so jel Bars tighter than jail named Guantanamo bay Feeling like I failed clearly God has shown grace Only winners in team huh so of course you're hating I'm living the dream y'all niggas is just hallucinating

Petit Frère 03:23
Francais: Mes paroles font chaud au coueur comme le plaisir des retrouvailles Les ereurs on de la valeur si la lesson est memorable J'ai entendu au par avant que le temps Vaux de l'argent j'ai decouvert en apprenant que l'argent n'achette que le temps Faire confiance a la conscience malgres l'absense de connaissance Est Donner croissance a sa puissance comme si etre en convalescence L'adolescense est impatientee Le monde avance a contresence L'insignifiance des sentiments est resultat des consequences Ce son je le dedicasse a mon frere wildy gourville Le petit est decedée a cause de deux home cagoulées Un sentiment de merde comme une defaite a domicile Je fait tous pour pas pleurer mais jte cache pas que c'est difficille On ne parler plus souvent mais crois moi je ne t'ai pas oublier Le temps passe vite la vie est un cendrier 8 annee ce sont passée depuis que j'ai quitter paname Maintenan je vois le jour ou je demande paix a ton ame 5ieme etage au mee sur seine a Albert Schweitzer Demarer a jaques prevert et grandi a moliere Attendre le weekend pour aller voir son pere Ta famille et la miene on vu la meme misere Je souhaite un grand courage a teddy et a tata zahia C'est dans ses moment dur qu'il faut garder la foie Mieux vaux les larmes du coeur que d'avoir un sourir de moqueur Ne pas monter de peur et de valeur a la ranqueur L'amour du foot nous a rendu reveur Je n'ai riends a vous offrir a part que mes paroles du coeur En d'otres mots j'espère appaisir la douleur Je viens de devenir majeur mais toi t'es parti pour un monde meilleur English: May i have your attention you know i’d like to raise a toast life can be quite harsh and take the ones that mean the most there’s a lack of security like when you feel the need to boast so this cup is one for the poor wild and bored the humble mumbles when he hears his belly rumble this the type of struggle that be bursting out your happy bubble so we push the weight so we could finally grow some muscle everything is vanity we’re all solving such a pointless puzzle finding inspiration regardless of my position counteract the opposition just to demonstrate determination satisfaction won’t be found within the acclamation expose corruption in the system the verses are translation the government be selling dreams like a referred vacation so ill make the people stand up like a deserved ovation the first impression is the start of reputation so this the termination of the notion of regression when the momentum picks up you’ll have to fucking fix up us niggas been mistreated for a 1000 years plus so every day’s another fight but in our father we trust they don’t know whats it’s like simply cos they’re not us just the other day i lost my little brother wildy didn’t harm anybody the kid just wana play footy they won’t give a crap cos the story matches the stereo type we’ll probably get high then confine in the most high want to ask yourself is the escapism enough why are we part of a culture promoting a lack of love it’s like being human sucks let us glorify our thugs they submerging our potential like a baller thats a sub

Same Love 03:29
English: I only sung in the booth and my only tongue was the truth If constantly talking shit then you belong in the loo I mean watching the news simply darkens up your mood Brain washing the youths with the things that they include I'm this alpha male just cracking brains Who's earned the right to captivate Even doe it's fucking late, I Gravitate while chatting straight Classic pain invalidates So fly away to happy days Calculate then operate So can't be blamed to rap this way Filling up with confidence forgetting bout the consequence Then the coppers come and suddenly you play the conscious one Guess everybody plays their part since we stuck up in the system Fuck that basic niggerism I much rather seek for wisdom I dream about a world of a unified nation So no limitation due to skin complexion No discrimination or even segregation That simple understanding that we're all amazing Francais: Dire que pendant mon adolescence j'ai senti l'absense de mon père Ne serai pas vraimeant reèl comme l'amour de ma belle mère Les gens change comme les saisons mais comme toujours le temps aprends Alors jm'occupe de mon equipe je ne m'appelle pas diddier deschamps Dans mes moments plus bas je d'eclare que Dieu est grand Je tante ma chance malgrès le vent du mauvais temps Trouver la foi et la patience dans le silence Garder son elegance meme si on a plus d'argent Les actions sont reflection de se que l'on pense Je ne suis qu'un cancre intelligent qui a tour miser son plan Pour quoi se precipiter est depenser sa recompense Un but ne saire a rien si on a marquer contre son quand Mais bon malgrès mes faiblesses j'ai des mots pour la jeneusse Ne tombe pas dans fierter ou dans l'ecxer de gentillesse A quoi Bon avoir une etoile si Elle a perdu son éclat On ne peut pas changer le monde si on ne commence pas par toi & moi
