[English]

Hey, what's up?

I cashed in, I'm thankful

Hands to the sky, I'm thankful

In the dense C.G., kicked out to Mexico

I think I excel, in his mind

Heuss the Bastard, a real bastard

I've held the ground for years

They took over when I left

I came back like a good husband

Send the cash even via PayPal

Only women and children are spared

You might have seen my face hidden in a fanny pack

Even rarer than the Bengal tiger

It's a bit macabre, I bring her back on all fours

Bro, I make her vibrate, like maracas

Leaving far from here, it becomes macabre

I stole her heart, swiped it like a lighter

Brother, really, it's not over

A bit too many problems for a half-bag

The one who touches her, we send him a mini

I watch her in the shower, she acts shy

She pulled a trick, man, it's not cute

She parties too much, it's not cute

She keeps disappearing, it's not cute

Too much on the hash, it's not cute

Robbing for serious cash, now the macabre plan, everything's black, from the kicks to the card

Ask the vanguard, double H, the Z and the G.A.

Casa, Malaga, La Légue, I give my shiv, mountain of hash

HMZ, Heuss the Bastard

I'm in the R.U.S., not yours

They took hits in the toilets

Don't act tough if you don't have balls

Send the cash even via PayPal

Only women and children are spared

I come back to shock them on the bike

Where have you seen a shark just leave? I'm vegan!

It's a bit macabre, I bring her back to Cannes

Bro, I make her vibrate, like maracas

Leaving far from here, it becomes macabre

I stole her heart, swiped it like a lighter

Brother, really, it's not over

A bit too many problems for a half-bag

The one who touches her, we send him a mini

I watch her in the shower, she acts shy

She pulled a trick, man, it's not cute

She parties too much, it's not cute

She keeps disappearing, it's not cute

Too much on the hash, it's not cute

Heuss the Bastard, a real bastard

I've held the ground for years

HMZ, it's solid

I've held the ground for years

[French]

Salut, ça va ?

J'ai encaissé, je remercie

Les mains au ciel, je remercie

Dans l'épaisse C.G., tej au Mexique

Je crois que j'excelle, dans son esprit

Heuss l'enfoiré, bonne enfoiré

Je tiens le terrain depuis des années

Ils ont pris la place quand je me suis barré

Je suis revenu comme un bon mari

Envoie la quiche même en PayPal

Y'a que les femmes et les enfants que l'on épargne

Tu as pu voir ma tête derrière dans une banane

Encore plus rare que le tigre du Bengale

C'est un peu Macabre, je la ramène à quatre

Poto, je la fais vibrer, comme des maracas

Partir loin d'ici, ça devient Macabre

Son cœur je l'ai piqué, volé comme un briquet

Rebeu ça en vrai, c'est pas fini

Un peu trop de vis, pour un sac de mi

Celui qui la touche, on l'envoie une mini

Je la guette dans la douche, elle fait la timide

Elle a carotte mec, c'est pas mimi

Elle fait trop la fête, c'est pas mimi

Elle fait que disparaître, c'est pas mimi

Beaucoup trop dans le barrette, c'est pas mimi

Robba pour la moula grave, là le plan Macabre, tout est black, de la paire à la carte

Demande à l'avant-garde, double H, le Z et la G.A.

Casa, Malaga, la Légue, je donne ma chouka, montagne de choka

HMZ, Heuss l'enfoiré

Je suis dans le R.U.S., pas le toi

Ils ont pris des pafs dans les toilettes

Ne joue pas le gros si tu as pas de couilles

Envoie la quiche même en PayPal

Y'a que les femmes et les enfants que l'on épargne

Je reviens les choquer sur la bécane

Où tu as vu un requin s'en va, j'ai végan

C'est un peu Macabre, je la ramène à Cannes

Poto, je la fais vibrer, comme des maracas

Partir loin d'ici, ça devient Macabre

Son cœur je l'ai piqué, volé comme un briquet

Rebeu ça en vrai, c'est pas fini

Un peu trop de vis, pour un sac de mi

Celui qui la touche, on l'envoie une mini

Je la guette dans la douche, elle fait la timide

Elle a carotte mec, c'est pas mimi

Elle fait trop la fête, c'est pas mimi

Elle fait que disparaître, c'est pas mimi

Beaucoup trop dans le barrette, c'est pas mimi

Heuss l'enfoiré, bonne enfoiré

Je tiens le terrain depuis des années

HMZ, c'est carré

Je tiens le terrain depuis des années

Key Grammar Structures

• Dans l'épaisse C.G., tej au Mexique

  ➔ Informal usage / Slang (Verlan)

  ➔ "tej" is Verlan (a type of French slang where syllables are inverted) for "jeté" (thrown/sent), a past participle. This demonstrates very informal spoken French, common in rap lyrics.

• Je tiens le terrain depuis des années

  ➔ Present tense with "depuis"

  ➔ The present tense ("tiens") is used with "depuis" ("for/since") to describe an action that started in the past and continues into the present, indicating duration.

• Y'a que les femmes et les enfants que l'on épargne

  ➔ Restrictive phrase "ne... que" (informal "Y'a que") + impersonal pronoun "on"

  ➔ "Y'a que... que..." is an informal way of saying "Il n'y a que... que..." (meaning "only"). "On" is an impersonal pronoun often used in spoken French to mean "we," "one," or "people in general."

• Poto, je la fais vibrer, comme des maracas

  ➔ Causative "faire + infinitive"

  ➔ The construction "faire + infinitive" means "to make someone/something do something" or "to have someone/something do something." Here, "je la fais vibrer" means "I make her vibrate" or "I make it vibrate."

• Celui qui la touche, on l'envoie une mini

  ➔ Demonstrative pronoun "celui" + relative pronoun "qui"

  ➔ "Celui qui" means "the one who" or "whoever." "Celui" refers to a person previously mentioned or implied, and "qui" introduces a relative clause describing that person.

• Elle fait que disparaître, c'est pas mimi

  ➔ Idiomatic expression "faire que + infinitive" + informal negation

  ➔ "Faire que + infinitive" means "to only do something" or "to keep doing something." "C'est pas" is an informal abbreviation of "Ce n'est pas" (it is not), common in spoken French.

• Ne joue pas le gros si tu as pas de couilles

  ➔ Imperative mood + informal negation in a conditional clause

  ➔ "Ne joue pas" is in the imperative mood (giving a command). In the conditional clause "si tu as pas de couilles," the negation "ne" is omitted before "as," which is common in informal spoken French.

• Son cœur je l'ai piqué, volé comme un briquet

  ➔ Passé composé with direct object pronoun agreement + subsequent past participle

  ➔ "Je l'ai piqué" is in the passé composé. The direct object pronoun "l'" (referring to "Son cœur," masculine singular) is placed before the auxiliary verb "ai." The past participle "piqué" (and implicitly "volé") agrees in gender and number with the direct object when it precedes the verb.
