So you don't start again
I've made the game a dictatorship
That's why I don't get rewarded
If you're a gold digger, come see me with cash, I got plenty
No need for the morning-after pill, I'll spit in your face
Cook me something, dad's tired
I sold coke all day
You're on the edge of suicide, I'm by the sea
I'll kill you if you touch them, it's my role as a father
I can do it too, that shit trap
Burn green bills in hell, I won't do anything with it
Facial ejaculation on a soul in pain
I'm in Madrid, you're in Valenciennes
I always turn things upside down for them
I put harissa in their Camembert
There must have been a misunderstanding
I lie in your pussy like Pinocchio
When I finish breaking your back
Go commit hara-kiri in Kyoto
Pay me right now, give me that money
Man, you were so much better before the beefs
In the record label, we castrate rappers
In the street I don’t pay taxes, I’m Monegasque
They only smoke coke, you only store at Lidl
I’m on OKLM.com, your mom’s on Gleeden
If you dodge the uppercut, you’ll get caught in the middle
Try the 92i, forbidden, prohibited, that’s forbidden
On the pavement, kneeling under a fut
I take a step back to better screw you, bitch
Fuck your cigar, I have my OG Kush
I feel dark when I come out of your sets
She doesn’t suck well, not deep-throating
French trap, I ejaculate on the chest
Bitch, shut up, for the price of a finger
From Brussels to Aulnay Sous Bois, keep the connection
Hey bitch, where are we right now?
I fuck you like a dog even though you wear a scarf
With “if’s,” I’d be untouchable like Omar
Capitol 92i, a new dark flow
I point at big ass, you point at unemployment
The rap game has no more fuel for takeoff
My flow takes flight, yours gets older
To de-stress, I take hostages
Coke in plastic wrap
Your clips show dope, but it’s just fake
You piss me off like a guy giving advice at the gym
I fuck you up on the ring and on the beat
You’ve been everywhere, like Shy’m’s cat
I don’t know if it’s true, but I’d fuck her quietly
I’ve got gray matter, you’ve got fecal matter
You’ve got a micro-penis, so you’re not enough
DAMSO
They only smoke coke, you only store at Lidl
I’m on OKLM.com, your mom’s on Gleeden
If you dodge the uppercut, you’ll get caught in the middle
Try the 92i, forbidden, prohibited, that’s forbidden
Blan cocaine, money flows
Passed the guys from the band
Can’t count how many girls
Can’t remember how many soldiers
The game’s more dangerous than the chafing of thighs
Pico, we’re going strong with death, we’re married
S.W.A.T. team, come hit me, give me a kick
Gun in my face, tell me where it is
What are you saying, we don’t sell
They say they’ve been watching me for nearly three months
They say they have my photos on camera
Every time they come, they find nothing
They hide guns, the stash is tight
Call K-9, that’s not working
They stop me from loading up
Don’t make me wait, the judge will let me go
Guys know I’ll never give in
When I go to the block, they surrender
A girl would have died if she knew she’d stay
Domi, they came to kill her
Three days passed without hearing what happened
They found three bodies cut up all over
My pirate? He’s too deep, you’ll sink
All we know is chaos and fire
Myself
They only smoke coke, you only store at Lidl
I’m on OKLM.com, your mom’s on Gleeden
If you dodge the uppercut, you’ll get caught in the middle
Try the 92i, forbidden, prohibited, that’s forbidden
