Even the pilot's strapped
They played tough, we turned them into barbecue
Good for nothing but spinning like a turnstile (Square)
It's violent here, you gotta watch your words
It happens fast, we'll fuck your dead
The hood's ruthless, it's hot (hot)
We never fail, they'll cry if we shock them
You talk about Kalashnikovs, about guns
But you don't know how to hold a weapon, it's tense
We'll take you down ten strong like the Wu-Tang Clan, tonight
We'll make you pay your debt, it's tense
I'm heating up the barrel, I've got a bad temper
We break down enemies like pure cocaine
You pay for your bitch, you lose money like crazy
We did it for shelter, not for fame
The streams and the sales, it goes fast, like a souped-up engine
The nanny's neighbor smelled the hit, the product from the streets
To cut off your arm, I won't hesitate
You wanna be noticed, you act all hyped
Yeah, I do round trips to Geneva in a 6.3 liter
Smoking on some Cali weed
German quality in the rides
I speak in Russian when I resell the straps (Davai, davai)
Yo, I'll give you more penalties than at Real Madrid
The real villains, yeah, it's us, man
You realize that the street is not reality (no, no)
We hustle like a boss (Boss)
I only want cash from the start (from the start)
We spray your crew with the Thompson
That'll make some noise like the bass
We come from the slums of the grime (grime)
And we got euros 'cause we work hard (work hard)
In rap I came to leave my mark
I can lift you up in a Y shape like a kid on a dirt bike, man
We did it for shelter, not for fame
The streams and the sales, it goes fast, like a souped-up engine
The nanny's neighbor smelled the hit, the product from the streets
To cut off your arm, I won't hesitate
You wanna be noticed, you act all hyped
We did it for shelter, not for fame
The streams and the sales, it goes fast, like a souped-up engine
The nanny's neighbor smelled the hit, the product from the streets
To cut off your arm, I won't hesitate
You wanna be noticed, you act all hyped

Key Grammar Structures
-
J'me déplace en jet gros, j'atterris à Riyadh (Riyadh)
➔ Use of the reflexive pronoun "me" with the verb "déplacer" indicating movement by oneself.
➔ Here, "J'" is a contraction of "Je" (I) and "me déplace" means "I move myself" or "I travel". The use of the reflexive pronoun emphasizes that the speaker is the one doing the traveling.
-
Même le pilote est broliqué
➔ Use of the verb "être" (to be) in the present tense followed by a past participle, functioning as a state.
➔ The phrase "est broliqué" means "is armed/has a weapon." The word "broliqué" is slang for being armed, and it is in the past participle form being used as an adjective describing the pilot's state.
-
C'est violent ici, faut qu'tu pèses tes mots
➔ The expression "faut que" followed by the subjunctive mood.
➔ "Faut que" is an informal way of saying "il faut que" meaning "it is necessary that" or "you must". Here, "faut qu'tu pèses tes mots" means "you need to weigh your words" or "you have to be careful about what you say." The verb "peser" (to weigh) is in the subjunctive mood because it follows "faut que".
-
Jamais on échoue, ils vont pleurer si on les choque
➔ Use of the future tense ("vont pleurer") in the main clause to express a consequence based on a conditional clause introduced by "si" (if).
➔ This sentence presents a conditional statement. "Ils vont pleurer" (they will cry) is the main clause indicating the consequence, and "si on les choque" (if we shock them) is the conditional clause. The "si" clause uses the present tense, while the main clause uses the future tense to show the result of the condition.
-
On t'soulève à dix comme le Wu-Tang Clan, ce soir
➔ Use of the pronoun "t'" (short for "te") as an indirect object pronoun.
➔ Here, "t'" is a shortened form of "te," which means "you" and is used as an indirect object. "On t'soulève" translates to "We lift you up," or more figuratively, "We'll take you down." It means the action of lifting up is directed towards "you."
-
J'fais monter la température du canon, j'ai un mauvais tempérament
➔ Use of the verb "faire" in the expression "faire monter" which is a causative construction.

-
Tu payes pour ta pute, des sous, t'en perds à mort
➔ Use of the pronoun "en" to replace a noun phrase referring to quantity or part of a whole.
