[English] (Saydiq)
Sam H

Bad, bad
In the city, I resell the weed, mom doesn't know
I count my guys close to the troublemakers
The gun in front of the mirror, tires screeching
We came back to shoot those sons of bitches
And I know Iblis doesn't want to see me get out of this
I need to distance myself from all that
Wait, stop
Let me take over
I'll explain how the game works
Two weeks flat, he knows the deadline
Otherwise we'll come get him to dirty the scene
Evry, you know it, that's the sickness
Rivalry, we've grown up in it
Daytime, hustling for money
Hair's not growing anymore, haven't seen the time go by
He’s dealing weed, we tightened our belts too much
Everything's gray in the place
And you can smell the cops nearby
Inside the envelope, only green, green, green
We run the center
The S.A.L is necessary to keep the family at peace, oh yeah
And in the city, I resell the weed
Mom doesn't know
Gangster life, organized crime, that's the truth
Right at midnight, I closed the shop
Did what I shouldn't have
With double keys, I own the place
I’ve got the keys to the neighborhood
And in the city, I resell the weed
Mom doesn't know
Gangster life, organized crime
Right at midnight, I was shutting down again
Did what I shouldn't have
With double keys, I own the place
I’ve got the keys to the neighborhood
They want to slow us down, stop the traffic
We’re caught up in the mess, chico
We’re caught up in the mess, chico
All for the win, just like in the big game
I’m too messed up, no more signal (hello)
I mingle with old fierce wolves
Scarred guys who’ve lost their teeth
Now, I’m with four girls
Refilled the Cayenne S
Validated Parisian, Balmain full of cash
They don’t get what’s really happening
We made their girls dance
New ride, new villa
New girl, so everything’s flashy
Don’t think it’s over
I’ll hide out like Fofana
Mom blessed me
I do FaceTime with Madam Obama
With the neighborhood guys, with the buntibu tah lalito bimi
N.I is fierce
Niska is a boss, you know the gimmick
And in the city, I resell the weed
Mom doesn't know
Gangster life, organized crime, that’s the truth
Right at midnight, I closed the shop
Did what I shouldn’t have
With double keys, I own the place
I’ve got the keys to the neighborhood
And in the city, I resell the weed
Mom doesn't know
Gangster life, organized crime
Right at midnight, I was shutting down again
Did what I shouldn’t have
With double keys, I own the place
I’ve got the keys to the neighborhood
Did what I shouldn’t have
Oh, in the city, I resell the weed
Mom doesn't know

All this is destiny, my friend
It's us
Hey, hey, hey
Remember well
