Yeah
When I sing my hassle, here is the tune
When I sing my hassle, it does like lalalalalère
Yeah

I have the DNA of fire, the anger of a bomb, the color of the pump
The color of a grave, the pain of the world
So ungrateful to life that I don't see everything I have
I see everything I don't have and I don't say everything I know
Because I know so much that I wish I didn't know
Because I've seen so many things that I wish I hadn't seen
Because my most beautiful memories are locked in a safe
Because love and happiness only exist for others
Because life is getting tough, because I'm not a kid anymore
Because I keep working and asking myself, "Do I waste my strengths?"
Because I'm close to the precipice as if I were waiting for the receipt of life
As if I was ready to be left in peace, yeah, stay in peace
I feel Caribbean because all roads lead to Rome and all rums lead to the West Indies
I don't expect armistice anymore, I don't expect peace anymore, no, I don't expect justice anymore, I just wait for my pay
We don't put the world to rights with "if" but with cash
We come from 9.3., we don’t go to the cops or the shrinks
Growing up here is cerebral
You know about African dads, you may have brothers elsewhere and you don't even know it
I mean, you pretend not to know, it hurts to talk about it
Yeah, we can hear it in your voice
I come from where the guardian angels are lazy
I come from a place where mommies are not happy
The neighborhood wants to turn us into dealers and thieves
I'll fuck your mother without regret to save my honor
What do I know about honor, anyway?
I have no one to confide in but Pro Tools
Tell me who you're walking with so I can amputate all of you
We know the welfare offices, the benefits, the school supports, the bailiffs, the cockroaches and the bunk beds
Tell me what you see when you look at me closely
When I was nine, I almost died in Robert-Debré
According to the doctor, my body was being tortured
According to fam, it's nothing, just a spell from the village
There's always one who doesn't know his mistakes
There's always one who's more in love than the other
There's always one who sacrifices himself for the other
I know some good girls who aren't even hlel anymore
I know some big sluts who are still virgins
There was a time when we got to know each other
Now I just want to fuck you and I'm not going to promise you anything
All the women who love me end up hating me
All the people who hate me end up respecting me
When I sing my hassle, here is the tune
When I sing my hassle, it does like lalalalalère
I know God exists, but I don't know why
I know that love exists but not for me
Shhhhht
