Vérité 7 lyrics In English Translation
2-6-0 City Gangsta
The Truth Comes From The Mouth Of Children
The Concerned Ones Are Not Very Happy
77 Criminal, There Are Many Things To Say
So I’m Going To Rap For A Long Time
I’m Palestine As Much As I’m Congo
They Only Have Respect For People With Money
Don’t Take The First Step, You’ll Go On A Hike
For Men, It’s Not Surgery, It’s Money That Makes You Beautiful
When We Love, We Take The Good And The Bad Sides
When We Hate, It’s Often Because We Loved At First
I Heal The Bad With The Bad, Without Realizing I Make It Worse
Your Actions Shouldn’t Touch Me, I’m Like A Cactus, Hard To Sting
At Twelve Sharp, I Eat At The Bar, Before Noon, The Kids’ Shows
Ten Years Later, In The Building, The Client Asks For His Piece
I Don’t Care About Making Enemies As Long As We’ve Been Right
The Villagers Can’t Eat At The King’s Table
If Weapons Are Sold, Why Go To The Tatami
A Man Feels Powerful With Kalashnikovs From Albania
The Small Eats The Big, Don’t Trust The Size
They Come On Bikes, It’s The Size Of Yakari’s Horse
Always Fasting, Too Focused, I’m Never Fucked Up
I Have Tools Available, Yet I Don’t Tinker Like Bob
My Brothers Spin Like Beyblade Tops
Here We Live In Towers, But We Have Villas In The Homeland
A Bad News Never Comes Alone, May God Preserve Me
From Their Jealousy And Evil Eye
I Don’t Pay Attention To Them, I Ignore Them, If I Listen To Them, I Sink
I Have The Art And The Manner Like A Teacher In Shuriken School
It’s In The Shit That We Create Real Bonds
In Wealth, It’ll Be Business, Nothing More
Circles Close, That’s Why We Hang Out Less
The Team That Will Be In The G-Class,
Is The Team That Was On The Bus
The More We Are, The More We Laugh
And The More Money We Make, The Cooler It Is
According To The Theory, Don’t Waste Time, It’s Money Flowing
I Aimed Day By Day, Here, We Call It Survival
In Trials, I Put Things In Perspective
Because It’s The Good Lord Who Tests Me
On The Field, At The Hour Of Grey’s Anatomy
Since I Was Little, I Had Rap In Me, It’s Like A Chronic Disease
We Sell What They Snort, Dreaming Of Tony’s Mansion
The Police Dig For Info, The Economy Is Underground
My Mother, In Front Of The Cop, Feels Like The Devil’s Advocate
We Contribute, But Not For Greeks, But For Vodka And Jack
I’m Far From Good, Close To Haram, Near Junkies And Losers
Big, Don’t Swim Where You Can’t Touch, You’ll Be Swept Away By The Wave
At Thirteen, I Dreamed Big, Saw Myself As The Prince Of The Park
At Eighteen, I Realize We’re Close To Jail
I See Friends Disappear When Big Stories Arise
Dude, You Have To See It To Believe It,
In The Evening, It’s Dark In The Square
The Street Didn’t Wait For Me To Grow Up To Start Seducing Me
The Cops Didn’t Wait For Me To Be Of Age To Start Tracking Me
Life Didn’t Wait Long Before Surpassing Me
Since The Past Didn’t Wait Long To Catch Up With Me
I Gave When I Could, And Even When I Couldn’t
For People Who Weren’t Worth It, I Bent Over Backwards
I Made Advances, But Life Doesn’t Smile At Me
If You Don’t Have A Job, Come,
I Offer Fixed-term Contracts In The Building
2-6-0, City Gang, It’s The Street With A Capital R
When I Lose My Head,
I Come Back Armed, I Don’t Call My Big Brother
I Fear When I Think Of Hell, They Say We Live One On Earth
I Have Brothers Who Escape Under Weed,
I Don’t Smile, I Know We’re Going To Lose Everything
I’m Not A Jack-of-all-trades, Otherwise,
I Wouldn’t Have Done Anything At All
We’re Plenty On Top Of The Mountain,
But I’m Alone At The Bottom Of The Pit
I Think A Lot Because I’m Crazy, Maybe I’m A Genius
Lying To Yourself Constantly, I Call It Living In Denial
I’m Part Of A Big Group, Luckily I’m Not Like Rémy
Cut Off My Head In The Square The Day I’m Denied
You Talk About Business And Money In A Car Full Of Crosses
May God Forgive Me, Sometimes Lack Of Money Leads To Madness
We Were Innocent, Small Bag, Ipod Shuffle
Now In The Hall In The Evening, It’s Bag, Weed, Girl
In Our Cities, Sometimes It’s Chaos Like At Urban Peace
The Elevator In My Block Is Not The One From Atlantis
Tied To The Street, I Love It To Death, I’m Like Francis Cabrel
How Many Died Before When We Were Just Seeing Each Other After
My Heart Is The Same Color As The Lycos Dog
I Don’t Have Many Amigos, I’m Complicated Like A Cliques
How Do You Expect Us To Get By,
I Come From Where The More You Destroy Your Life,
The More You’re Loved
And The More You Succeed,
The More They Slow You Down
The More You Need No One, The More They Help You
And When I Talk About It,
We Realize That It’s The Same Everywhere
My Father Killed Himself For Us,
If I Don’t Succeed, I Disrespect Him
I Would Have Given Everything
For The Real Ones If Only There Were Any Left
Wealth Creates Problems, Poverty Makes You Think
We Make Du’as, Forehead To The Ground,
Not Before The Shepherd’s Star
To Blow Up The Cities Of France, Just A Spark Is Enough
It’s For Zyed, Bouna, Ibrahima, Théo, Nahel
I Didn’t Have Apple Music, I Went On 33Rap
They Closed Doors On Me, Brother, Look At My Arab Face
Nutcase, It Can Hit You, You Don’t Even Feel Untouchable
When There’s A Problem In Life, You Have To Find A Culprit
I Grew Up With Low Blows, In Rap, Not In Zumba
I’m Stubborn Like A Mule, I’m Fake Like A Little Brother Who Doesn’t Listen
Better To Die Standing Than Live On Your Knees, That’s What They Told Me
We Do Haram Every Day, We All Hope For Paradise
I Detached Myself From Many Things, But If I Stay It’s Out Of Habit
Big, I Come From Where The Cops Kill, I’m A Child Of The Asphalt
When I’m Wrong, I Make Myself Small, I Shrink Like George
I’m In The Car, Hiding Nuggets In The Popcorn Bag
The Lookout Spends Hours On The Pole Like Teheiura
When I Leave The Ghetto, It Keeps Calling Me,
Saying “Wesh, Where Are You?”
I’m Like A Barnacle, I Have A Family Of Pirates
So It Won’t Shock Anyone If One Day We
I Didn’t Squat The University Benches, On The Streets, We Did Attacks
French Lessons During The Baccalaureate
In The City, I Use It To Bring People In, Too Focused, Never High
Otherwise, It Would Kill My Prayers, I’ve Already Accumulated Sins
And I Know We’ll Have To Clear Them All, So
I Try To Do Good Every Second
And Have A Lot Of Good Deeds Before Leaving This World
I Managed Without Any Connections
In Terms Of Money, They Don’t Even Listen To It, It’s My Sons
I Want The Bracelet Of, I Don’t Want Shambala Anymore
I Make Them Dance Like Moussier Tombola
I Know Mean Girls Like Mulan
In Reality, It’s The Carrot That Kills The Donkey
The Truth Hurts Too Much, I Think It’s The Woman Who Kills The Man
And In Reality, It’s Not So Bad, We Don’t Know Who Wears The Pants Anymore
Like Hamilton, We Drive, I Take The Turns With Headlights On
Once At The Mosque, I Feel Like A Kafir
They Drowned Algerians, They Want To Do Trials In The Seine
October 61, Floating Bodies, I See The Scene Again
It Runs Like Road Runner And Coyote
I Defend My Interests Like Puyol
Like A Mute, You Have No Words, I Do Rap, Not Rock’n’roll
It’s The Seventh Dragon Ball, I Reappear Like Shenron
It’s The Seventh Dragon Ball, I Reappear Like Shenron
Nutcase, I Do Rap, Not Rock’n’roll
Truth 7
Double 7
2-6-0, City Gangsta
We Come From The Ghetto And We Love It
