TVSLYM Shady

Johnny

Hold up, I've got enough right now

I'm on the verge of losing it

Saint-Ouen gate

TVSLYM Shady is spreading like Covid

I had to change my method (had to change my method)

Full of vices, we got the codes

They're full of vices, we got the codes

(Full of vices, we got the codes)

I'm whippin' the stuff, it's getting magical, Doigt2Fée on the beats

Doigt2Fée on the beat (wouh, wouh, wouh, wouh)

Full of vices, we got the codes

Full of vices, we got the codes

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

(full of vices, we got the -)

Hold up, you're losing it

I'm surrounded by thugs, so we get involved

I repeat, I'm on the verge of losing it

TVSLYM Shady, taking power by shooting, it's intriguing

Hold up, I don't feel like it right now

Don't say we're mean, just say we're wary of people

I'm on the verge of losing it

TVSLYM Shady, taking power by shooting, it's intriguing (ouh)

Hold up, you're losing it

Time passes and my life changes

I can't catch up, so I stay careful

Time passes and my life changes

Time passes and my life changes

Time passes and my life changes

I can't catch up, so I stay careful

Time passes and my life changes

Time passes and my life changes

A bit like my gun, my magazine, and my cars

Drowned in drug trafficking

We cut it, we cut it, I'm bringing in the money

Every day, I ask the Lord for peace (peace, I ask the Lord)

But if it comes back, bro, I can't go low (no)

Even if it means putting it in their heads, my brother (ah-ah-ah)

Double G, Y, Saint-Laurent (han)

Dripped in Vuitton before the meeting (before the meeting)

All in black, only the bling-bling stands out (bling-bling)

Infinite prime (oh)

Double R, Hennessy, red Red Bull

Red cup, I'm acting big in the city

Fake nigga, bitches like Dashiki

They're only good for swallowing dicks

Time passes and my life changes

I can't catch up, so I stay careful

Time passes and my life changes

Time passes and my life changes

Time passes and my life changes

I can't catch up, so I stay careful

Time passes and my life changes

Time passes and my life changes (hold up, I don't feel like it)

I'm on the verge of losing it

Hold up, I don't feel like it

I'm on the verge of losing it

Hold up, I don't feel like it

TVSLYM Shady

Johnny

Attends, là, j'en ai

À deux doigts, je pars en vrille

Porte de Saint-Ouen

TVSLYM Shady s'propage comme le Covid

J'ai dû changer de méthode (j'ai dû changer de méthode)

Pleins de vices, on a les codes

ils sont pleins de vices, on a les codes

(Pleins de vices, on a les codes)

J'whippin' le truc, ça devient magique, c'est Doigt2Fée qui fait les prods

Doigt2Fée qui fait la prod (wouh, wouh, wouh, wouh)

Pleins de vices, on a les codes

Pleins de vices, on a les codes

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

(pleins de vices, on a les -)

Attends, là, tu pars en vrille

J'suis entouré de brigands, donc on s'implique

J'répète, à deux doigts, je pars en vrille

TVSLYM Shady, en tirant, prends le pouvoir, c'est intriguant

Attends, là j'ai pas envie

Ne dis pas qu'on est méchants, mais plutôt méfiants des gens

À deux doigts, je pars en vrille

TVSLYM Shady, en tirant, prends le pouvoir, c'est intriguant (ouh)

Attends, là, tu pars en vrille

Le temps passe et ma vie change

J'peux pas le rattraper, donc j'fais attention

Le temps passe et ma vie change

Le temps passe et ma vie change

Le temps passe et ma vie change

J'peux pas le rattraper, donc j'fais attention

Le temps passe et ma vie change

Le temps passe et ma vie change

Un peu comme mon flingue, mon chargeur et mes touches-car

Noyé dans trafic de stupéfiants

On coupe ça, on coupe ça, j'fais rentrer en moutard

Tous les jours, j'demande au Seigneur la paix (paix, j'demande au Seigneur)

Mais si ça revient, igo, moi, j'peux pas saloper (nan)

Quitte à leur mettre dans la tête, mon re-fré (ah-ah-ah)

Double G, Y, Saint-Laurent (han)

Vuitonné avant le meeting (avant le meeting)

Tout en noir, j'fais ressortir que l'bling-bling (bling-bling)

Prime à l'infini (oh)

Double R, Hennessy, Red Bull rouge

Red cup, j'fais le malin dans la city

Fake nigga, des salopes comme Dashiki

Ils sont bons qu'à gober des zizis

Le temps passe et ma vie change

J'peux pas le rattraper, donc j'fais attention

Le temps passe et ma vie change

Le temps passe et ma vie change

Le temps passe et ma vie change

J'peux pas le rattraper, donc j'fais attention

Le temps passe et ma vie change

Le temps passe et ma vie change (attends, là j'ai pas envie)

À deux doigts, je pars en vrille

Attends, là j'ai pas envie

À deux doigts, je pars en vrille

Attends, là j'ai pas envie
