[English]
My darling, pack your bags, we're leaving the street
I've made some profit that we're going to invest in Africa
I know what it's like to be hungry, today I say "Thank God"
It's not Paris but the credit card that's magical, hum
...
I gave my first bills to my aunts, Western in Congo
Then I changed my clothes, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, to feel good
I dreamed of it since I was little, so I got the latest Merc
Get in the car, there will always be a place for you
Like the boss of the oven, we have the women, we have two big guys
You may be the strongest, but we have the method to take you down
She wants the ring on her finger, if I have nothing left, she'll turn her back on me
I give without forgetting, not resentful, I'm that kind of guy
My darling, pack your bags, we're leaving the street
I've made some profit that we're going to invest in Africa
I know what it's like to be hungry, today I say "Thank God"
It's not Paris but the credit card that's magical, hum
...
At first, there was nothing, we only connected to play ball
Now, there's no more waiting, I put on 1000 euros, it's my pants
When I say I've made money, it means everything is good
Go brief all the guys, ask them if it's my wedding
Ah, when there's no money, I feel bad, I feel weak
To forget all that, from Jack to honey, pour it in the glass
They want my SACEM, they want my buzz, they want to take me down
No, I'm not alone, I have all my friends, I have all my brothers
My darling, pack your bags, we're leaving the street
I've made some profit that we're going to invest in Africa
I know what it's like to be hungry, today I say "Thank God" (today)
It's not Paris but the credit card that's magical, hum (Thank God)
...
There's nothing left to do here, I've already made my money
My darling has a nice physique, vacation in a permanent contract
It's the scenario, eh, leaving the hood, eh
The hood, eh, it's the scenario, eh
My darling, pack your bags, we're leaving the street
I've made some profit that we're going to invest in Africa
I know what it's like to be hungry, today I say "Thank God"
It's not Paris but the credit card that's magical, hum
...

Key Grammar Structures

  • J'ai fait du bénéf' qu'on va investir en Afrique

    ➔ Using the recent past tense 'J'ai fait' (I did/made) with 'qu'on va investir' (that we are going to invest) to describe a planned future action.

    ➔ 'J'ai fait' is the present perfect tense indicating an action completed recently; 'qu'on va investir' is the near future tense with 'aller' + infinitive, expressing an upcoming plan.

  • Ma chérie, fais tes valises, on va quitter la street

    ➔ Imperative mood 'fais' (do/make) used to give a command or suggestion; 'on va quitter' employs the near future 'aller' + infinitive to express an intended action.

    ➔ 'Fais' is the imperative form of 'faire' (to do/make), used here to give a command or suggestion; 'on va quitter' combines 'aller' (to go) in near future with the infinitive 'quitter' (to leave), expressing an intention to leave soon.

  • J'sais c'que c'est d'avoir la dalle, aujourd'hui, j'dis 'Dieu merci'

    ➔ Using 'J'sais' (I know) with 'c'que c'est' (what it is) to express understanding of a situation; 'j'dis' (I say) in the simple present tense to express a current sentiment or declaration.

    ➔ 'J'sais' is a contraction of 'je sais', meaning 'I know'; 'c'que c'est' is a colloquial way of saying 'what it is' or 'the thing that is'. 'J'dis' is the informal contraction of 'je dis' (I say).
