[English]

Ok, ok

Oh oh

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

In the Bentayga Continental

M.G Nabil, you're full of airs

Determined, I have the mindset

I've got over 10 years of career behind me

M.V. acts crazy when I'm chilling

Belvedere, apple-coconut, I'm out of it

Oh my friend, what are you gonna come down from?

For a girl, you're being dramatic

Valentino on the Croisette

She wants Jack, miss, for dinner

I'm blazing up all weekend, eyes shot behind the blocks

On the plane, champagne in business class

I land at Tony Montana's

I have the right touch, I do it with finesse

You've gone under, you make us feel sorry for you

We're blazing up in the helicopter

Popopopo

Like a hurricane, amigo

Twenty grand in the bag

I tell her my name is Enrico

Popopopo

Socks on the detector

In the hotel, the hash gets me wasted

I'm getting into it, I got some local stuff

Under the eyes of the Guardia Civil

Nostalgic, I'm gonna do some mischief

I eat lobster in the pool

And she gets all sentimental with me

She tells me she loves me, she's on Tinder

Purple Haze in the grinder

Mixing syrup, pineapple cocktail

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I'm just doing stuff, damn!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Chalalalala, we're going straight for the goal

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I'm just doing stuff, damn!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Chalalalala, we're going straight for the goal

Valentino on the Croisette

She wants Jack, miss, for dinner

We're blazing up, we're blazing up, we're blazing up

We're blazing up in the helicopter

Popopopo

Like a hurricane, amigo

Twenty grand in the bag

I tell her my name is Enrico

Popopopo

Socks on the detector

In the hotel, the hash gets me wasted

She wants the villa and the pool

For me to dedicate her in the songs

Put aside, anticipate a little

Never would've thought, life is like that

Forbidden to mix

Saturday, I was changing (outfits)

Saturday, showcase, watch out, I've got it

They want us to blaze up in the helicopter

Popopopo

Like a hurricane, amigo

Twenty grand in the bag

I tell her my name is Enrico

Popopopo

Socks on the detector

In the hotel, the hash gets me wasted

We're blazing up in the helicopter

Popopopo

Like a hurricane, amigo

Twenty grand in the bag

I tell her my name is Enrico

Popopopo

Socks on the detector

In the hotel, the hash gets me wasted

Wasted, wasted

Oh oh

Wasted, wasted

Oh oh

Wasted, wasted

[French]

Ok, ok

Oh oh

Ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille

Ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille

Dans le Bentayga Continental

M.G Nabil, t'es plein de manières

Déterminé, j'ai la mentale

Derrière, j'ai plus 10 ans de carrière

M.V. fait de sa folle, quand je suis en détente

Belvédère, pomme-coco, je suis éteint

Oh mon pote, qu'est-ce que tu vas redescendre

Pour une gadji, tu fais le comédien

Valentino sur la Croisette

Elle veut du Jack, miss pour le dîner

Je suis en Fufu tout le week-end, les yeux pétées derrière les quartiers

Dans l'avion, champagne en business

J'atterris chez Tony Montana

J'ai pied droit, je la place en finesse

Toi tu as coulé, tu nous fais de la peine

On fufu dans l'hélico

Popopopo

En ouragan, amigo

20 balles dans la sacoche

Je lui dis que je m'appelle Enrico

Popopopo

Chaussettes sur le détecteur

Dans l'hôtel, le shit ma motcha

Je me les tape, j'ai pris de la locale

Sous les yeux de la Guardia Civil

Nostalgique, je vais faire des bêtises

Je mange du homard dans la piscine

Et elle me fait ça sentimentale

Elle me dit qu'elle m'aime, elle est sur Tinder

Purple Haze dans le grinder

Mélange sirop, cocktail ananas

Ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille

Je fais que des choses, sa mère la pub

Ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille

Chalalalala, on va droit au but

Ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille

Je fais que des choses, sa mère la pub

Ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille, ouille

Chalalalala, on va droit au but

Valentino sur la Croisette

Elle veut du Jack, miss pour le dîner

On fufu, on fufu, on fufu

On fufu dans l'hélico

Popopopo

En ouragan, amigo

20 balles dans la sacoche

Je lui dis que je m'appelle Enrico

Popopopo

Chaussettes sur le détecteur

Dans l'hôtel, le shit ma motcha

Elle veut la villa et la piscine

Que je la dédicace dans les sons

Mets de côté, un peu anticipe

Ne pensais jamais, la vie c'est comme ça

Interdit de se mélanger

Samedi, je changeais

Samedi, showcase, attention, j'ai

Ça veut qu'on fufu dans l'hélico

Popopopo

En ouragan, amigo

20 balles dans la sacoche

Je lui dis que je m'appelle Enrico

Popopopo

Chaussettes sur le détecteur

Dans l'hôtel, le shit ma motcha

On fufu dans l'hélico

Popopopo

En ouragan, amigo

20 balles dans la sacoche

Je lui dis que je m'appelle Enrico

Popopopo

Chaussettes sur le détecteur

Dans l'hôtel, le shit ma motcha

Motcha, motcha

Oh oh

Motcha, motcha

Oh oh

Motcha, motcha
