[English]
Live from the Mèz'ère Ship
Hughze Hezefnezer
B.2O.B.A, 92i
...
I'm Hefner, you're the playmate
You just touch it, I penetrate
My crew isn't very clean
I'm on Izer, it's my planet
You only exist on the internet
I screw Sky, I can afford it
I'm a threat: ask Pernel
I'll be in trouble for eternity
Only Ünkut in the container
Number One, they're too angry
I only write in violence
All my homies on the gallows
All guilty, don't care
Double Uzi in the ferns
I'm in space, wearing only Nike Air
No low-key mess, I’ll screw your mother
You're a whore, I'm a pimp
I'm just a dog for hassanats
Hard in love, I have a heart of stone
In the arteries, I only have limestone
I drink from the bottle, no glass
I'm Cobra, come do an iron arm
Fight Club #BradPitt
You have a cke-schnè, you have no dick
If I reach paradise, it's on a hell train
Crackers, do you want crack? I'm making some!
You want to dethrone the Duke? Bad idea
I'm in the news, not on the TV
Let's talk cash, money, cash: let's say little
2Pac, Malcolm X, King: let's talk about them
Big villa on the corniche: what the old man wants
So let's talk cash, money, cash: let's say little
I dreamed I was Escobar, that I was with Kim, even better
I have good weed in my hood: who wants some?
I have so many platinum records, it's raining
If you're too fine, I won't sleep with you #Karembeu
Dakatine on my toast, that's what we want
Put me on your list, we're 42
42, Talented
Real homies walk in silence, haters talk among themselves
You talk a lot, you bark, but you're not dangerous
I'm too far for these latecomers, there's no stakes!
I'm a Mac, you're a PC, you're not in the game
My crew, my crew, my crew will split your skull in two
If I reach paradise, it's on a hell train
Crackers, do you want crack? I'm making some!
You want to dethrone the Duke? Bad idea
I'm in the news, not on the TV
Let's talk cash, money, cash: let's say little
2Pac, Malcolm X, King: let's talk about them
Big villa on the corniche: what the old man wants
So let's talk cash, money, cash: let's say little
18 numbers in the evening
I think it's time to leave
Bottle offered by the zon-mai
200 euros for the valet
Screw the Police #Saïd
Slit MC's throat #Aïd
Their bank accounts: #Arid
Only Wati-B weighs #Akhi
It's for Fleury, it's for the Baumettes
Bill Gates is my roommate
I have my CL AMG
The Antilles #AiméCésaire
Taxes: too expensive
François screw your mom
We land by helicopter
47' does what's necessary

Key Grammar Structures

  • J'suis Hefner t'es la playmate

    ➔ Present tense of 'être' (to be) - expressing a state or identity.

    ➔ Using 'suis' (first-person singular of 'être') to state his identity and 'es' (second-person singular of 'être') to describe the other person's role. Emphasizes a contrast between the speaker and the listener. "J'suis" Hefner (I am Hefner) "t'es" la playmate (you are the playmate).

  • Toi tu l'effleures, je la pénètre

    ➔ Use of pronouns and present tense verbs contrasting actions. Demonstrates differing agency and intensity.

    "Tu" (you) and "je" (I) as subjects doing distinct actions. "Effleurer" (to graze, touch lightly) is contrasted with "pénétrer" (to penetrate) showing the speaker's dominance. The pronoun "la" refers to the same object.

  • Tu n'existes que sur internet

    ➔ Negative construction with 'ne...que' (only) modifying a prepositional phrase.

    ➔ The phrase "n'existes que sur internet" means "you only exist on the internet." The "ne...que" structure emphasizes the limitation or restriction.

  • Moi j'encule Sky, j'peux m'le permettre

    ➔ Use of slang and the verb 'pouvoir' + infinitive to express permission.

    ➔ 'J'peux m'le permettre' means 'I can allow myself to do it'. 'Pouvoir' (can/to be able to) indicates capability, and 'permettre' (to allow) creates the sense of self-authorization. "Enculer" ( a vulgar term) is used here to show the disrespect.

  • Crackers veux tu du crack? Je suis en train d'en faire!

    ➔ Interrogative form using 'veux-tu', followed by 'être en train de' + infinitive to express ongoing action.

    "Veux-tu" is a question form of "vouloir" (to want). "Je suis en train de" + infinitive expresses "I am in the process of doing something." 'J'en fais' means he is making crack.

  • Si j'atteins le paradis, c'est dans un train d'enfer

    ➔ Hypothetical statement using 'si' + present tense, followed by 'c'est' + prepositional phrase.

    ➔ The 'si' clause introduces a condition (reaching paradise). The main clause states the consequence (it will be in a hellish train). This highlights the paradoxical nature of his potential salvation.

  • J'ai rêvé qu'j'étais Escobar, que j'baisais Kim en mieux

    ➔ Use of 'avoir' (to have) in passé composé to describe a dream, followed by 'que' introducing subordinate clauses of reported speech. Comparative 'en mieux' (better).

    ➔ 'J'ai rêvé que...' (I dreamed that...) introduces a reported dream. The use of 'que' connects the two subordinate clauses ('j'étais Escobar' and 'j'baisais Kim en mieux') to the main clause. 'En mieux' is an adverbial phrase implying that he had sexual relations with a 'better' version of Kim.

  • Grosse villa sur la corniche: ce que le daron veut

    ➔ Use of 'ce que' as a relative pronoun introducing a noun clause acting as the object of 'veut'.

    "Ce que le daron veut" translates to "what the father wants." 'Ce que' introduces the object of the verb 'veut' (wants). The whole phrase acts as a noun phrase.
