[English]

N.A.Z.A, you know the name

N.A.Z.A

Word is, you're just like me

I never put your name in my will

You're getting on my nerves

I'm not your remedy (yeah, yeah-yeah)

So, in the latest German car

You've got your eyes on me, but I'm doing just fine

Your mom will say I'm not the right one

It's getting heated

It's getting heated

Don't hold it against me

She wants back in my life, but it's already too late, too late

She sends all her friends my way, but where is this going?

Yo, yo, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

Yeah, yeah-yeah, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

Yo, yo, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

Yeah, yeah-yeah, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

She wants to take it back

She wants to renegotiate things

Even when you see we're here, you want to negotiate, you need to tone it down, huh

So you want the dowry now?

Ah, you'll have to work for it, work for it

There are no more feelings between us

I've got a heart of iron under this suit

She knows my crew, she knows my songs

Five minutes ago she said she didn't know me

What's the deal? What's the deal?

By the seaside like a true Monegasque

It's getting heated

It's getting heated

Don't hold it against me

She wants back in my life, but it's already too late, too late

She sends all her friends my way, but where is this going?

Yo, yo, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

Yeah, yeah-yeah, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

Yo, yo, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

Yeah, yeah-yeah, the hood

Let's dance and have fun

(It's getting heated, heated)

(It's getting heated, it's getting heated)

(Don't hold it against me, yeah, yeah-yeah)

(It's getting heated, it's getting heated)

(It's getting heated, it's getting heated)

(Don't hold it against me, it's getting heated)

She wants back in my life, but it's already too late, too late

She sends all her friends my way, but where is this going?

N.A.Z.A, tu connais le name

N.A.Z.A

Askip, t'es comme moi

J'ai jamais mis ton blase sur le testament

Tu me prends la tête à moi

Moi je n'suis pas ton médicament (yeah, yeah-yeah)

Alors, dernier bolide allemand

Tu m'as dans le viseur mais j'suis dans l'bon

Ta maman dira que j'suis pas l'bon

C'est chaud patate

C'est chaud patate

Ne m'en veux pas

Elle veut revenir dans ma vie, c'est déjà trop tard, trop tard

Elle m'envoie toutes ses copines, mais on est où là, où là?

Wesh, wesh, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

Yeah, yeah-yeah, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

Wesh, wesh, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

Yeah, yeah-yeah, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

Elle veut revenir sur ses pas

Elle veut négocier le dossier

Même quand tu vois qu'on est là, tu veux négocier, s'agirait de doser, han

Donc toi tu voudrais la dot

Ah faudra bosser, ah, bosser

Entre nous il n'y a plus d'sentiments

J'ai un cœur en fer sous le costard

Elle connaît mes gars, elle connaît mes sons

Y a cinq minutes elle disait qu'elle me connaissait pas

C'est quoi les bails? C'est quoi les bails?

Au bord de la mer comme un bon monégasque

C'est chaud patate

C'est chaud patate

Ne m'en veux pas

Elle veut revenir dans ma vie, c'est déjà trop tard, trop tard

Elle m'envoie toutes ses copines, mais on est où là, où là?

Wesh, wesh, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

Yeah, yeah-yeah, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

Wesh, wesh, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

Yeah, yeah-yeah, la zone

Toko bina kotazo

(C'est chaud patate, chaud patate)

(C'est chaud patate, c'est chaud patate)

(Ne m'en veux pas, yeah, yeah-yeah)

(C'est chaud patate, c'est chaud patate)

(C'est chaud patate, c'est chaud patate)

(Ne m'en veux pas, c'est chaud patate)

Elle veut revenir dans ma vie, c'est déjà trop tard, trop tard

Elle m'envoie toutes ses copines, mais on est où là, où là?
