So I have no luck in love
I'm at the bottom of the tower with the network's head and the manager of the oven
After midnight, we can meet if you want
But at noon, I have to go back to work
You told me "Stop, find a job or forget it"
I don't want my son's father to be a bandit (no)
And for them to come pick him up at my place at six"
But I wasn’t listening, I was cutting the lo-ki
Because a kid’s veins had eczema
New stack, new place
She’d tell me "Baby, be careful," yeah, yeah
Fleury’s disciplinary district, I’m on rotation
Oh Mamacita, oh Mamacita
Will you support me all my life
Because I’m a street dealer
And one day I might get caught by the mbila
Oh Mamacita, oh Mamacita
Will you support me all my life
Because I’m a street dealer
And one day I might get caught by the mbila
One last call, one last ien-ien
And my heart passes through the window like a yo-yo
I remember us, I remember before
Nothing’s changed, not even your number
Euros, euros, euros, I know it could ruin my life
Just you and me on board the ship, two feet in the Ferrari
Stacks under the bed
Inseparable like Clyde and Bonnie (yes)
A gangster’s life, big boss
But keep quiet about everything I’ve done
Stacks under the bed
Inseparable like Clyde and Bonnie (yes)
A gangster’s life, big boss
But keep quiet about everything I’ve done
Oh Mamacita, oh Mamacita
Will you support me all my life
Because I’m a street dealer
And one day I might get caught by the mbila
Oh Mamacita, oh Mamacita
Will you support me all my life
Because I’m a street dealer
And one day I might get caught by the mbila
Oh Mamacita, oh Mamacita
Will you support me all my life
Because I’m a street dealer
And one day I might get caught by the mbila
Oh Mamacita, oh Mamacita
Will you support me all my life
Because I’m a street dealer
And one day I might get caught by the mbila
