[English]

I like the way it's hard, I love the way it's loud

No one understands what the hell I'm about

Just step into the place and hear what I say

I spit with the lyric, no time for delay

Slam rock with the jungle, man to man, with the jam

You know who I am

When I come, I'm coming rough, you know I'm above

Be there! (Ah, yeah)

I drop it medium rare, yeah!

...

J'adore hardcore

Doin' it together!

...

J'adore hardcore

...

C'mon!

...

Sing it!

...

Yeah!

For sure, I got my plan, don't really give a damn!

On my own mission, I fight like a man

Doin' it for myself, not for the industry!

Check on the rhythm, and to the M.I.C

Slam rock with the jungle, hand to hand, hummin' a bum

'Cause I got the jam

When I come, I'm coming rough, I got the stuff

Be there! (Ah, yeah)

Let's shuffle in the air, yeah!

J'adore hardcore

...

Right!?

...

Yeah!

...

Raise your hands up to the roof

Raise your hands up in the air

Raise your hands up to the roof

Raise your hands up in the air

And again!

...

Come on!

...

Yeah

...

Posse! Respect to ya! Good night!
