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

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

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

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
