[English]

Eh, eh

Fallen in love

Eh

I'm softening up, I've fallen in love

Call 911, I think a gangster's fallen in love

Of course, you ask questions, you say Dems never, OG smokes, makes money

Mula, thinking of nothing else, but

I'm softening up, I've fallen in love

Call 911, I think a gangster's fallen in love

Hollywood, I make movies, dreaming wide-eyed, floating, oh god, no, I really leave

The drug is tight, a blunt, I take a big puff

Oh god, I think I'm softening up, I've fallen in love

Call 911, I think a gangster's fallen in love

I'm softening up, I've fallen in love

Call 911, I think a gangster's fallen in love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

Alright, go tell mom that you've met the man of your life

A little romantic punchline, I think it's happening

Splash on lips, nice to feel alive again

My lifestyle, splashing on drinks in the palace

For you, I might even resell some te-shi, yeah

For you, I might even talk to the cops, nah, I'm lying (nah)

For you, I stopped putting in the SS-e (yeah)

For you, I think I could say you're my girl when I go out

Damn, I'm softening up, I've fallen in love

Call 911, I think the gangster's fallen in love

I'm softening up, I've fallen in love

Call 911, I think a gangster's fallen in love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

(Damn, I'm softening up, I've fallen in love)

[French]

Eh, eh

Tombé love

Eh

J'me ramollis, j'suis tombé love

Fais le 911, j'crois qu'un gangster est tombé love

Evidemment, tu poses des questions, tu dis que Dems jamais, O.G. fume, fait de l'argent

D'la moula, pense à rien d'autre, mais

J'me ramollis, j'suis tombé love

Fais le 911, j'crois qu'un gangster est tombé love

Hollywood, j'me fais des films, j'rêve les yeux grands ouverts, j'plane oh god, non, j'pars en vrai

La drogue est visser, un bédo, j'tire une grosse taff

Oh God, j'crois qu'j'me ramollis, j'suis tombé love

Fais le 911, j'crois qu'un gangster est tombé love

J'me ramollis, j'suis tombé love

Fais le 911, j'crois qu'un gangster est tombé love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

Ok, va dire à mama qu't'as rencontré l'homme de ta vie

P'tite punchline zarma romantique, j'crois qu'ça y est

Eclaboussure sur des lèvres, enchanté de revivre

Mon lifestyle, gicler sur des 'tasses dans l'palais

Pour toi, j'pourrais même revendre du te-shi, ouais

Pour toi j'pourrais même parler aux keufs, non, j'mens (non)

Pour toi, j'arrêtai d'mettre dans les sses-fe (ouais)

Pour toi, j'crois qu'j'pourrais dire qu't'es ma meuf quand j'sors

Merde, j'me ramollis, j'suis tombé love

Fais le 911, j'crois que le gangster est tombé love

J'me ramollis, j'suis tombé love

Fais le 911, j'crois qu'un gangster est tombé love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

Love, love

(Merde, j'me ramollis, j'suis tombé love)
