-
I'm starving for success, make it rain
-
money on the table for those who are
-
struggling. I'm starving, make it rain money,
-
a lot, on the table.
-
Algerian, we're making money, you see?
-
Mom, I've become someone people
-
envy. They're mad, it makes me laugh.
-
So of course, I rub it in. I've
-
started the machine with hard coal, it's
-
not magic, but what do you
-
imagine? It was by struggling deeply that I
-
learned to hustle, make it
-
rain a lot on the table for those who are
-
miserable, young. I'm starving for success, make it rain
-
la
-
money on the table. Mademoiselle Aléia in my DMs,
-
there are sweet treats. She thinks she has me
-
because she's too good-looking. She's an
-
older woman, so I don't reply. Anyway,
-
my heart is quick to move on, like that
-
gas bottle. Between us, it's over, my darling.
-
Alone, watch my series. When I smile
-
in front of my roots, all the
-
hardships are vivid. Young, I'm starving for success, make it rain
-
money, a lot, on the table for those who are miserable.
-
Young, I'm starving for success, make it rain
-
money, a lot, on the table. She leads a
-
life in Milan, shopping in Milano. You weren't
-
there in the struggles, you won't be there
-
in the Viano. She leads a life in Milan,
-
shopping in Milano. You weren't there in
-
the struggles, you won't be there in the
-
Viano.
-
I'm starving for success, make it rain money, a lot,
-
on the table for those who are
-
miserable. I'm starving for success, make it rain
-
money on the table.
-
Algerian.

Key Grammar Structures

  • algéri on fait de l'argent tu as vu

    ➔ Use of the present perfect (passé composé) with auxiliary “avoir” + past participle

    ➔ The phrase "tu as vu" uses the present perfect to indicate a completed action in the past.

  • maman je suis devenue un rageux

    ➔ Passé composé with auxiliary “être” for verbs of change or state (devenir)

    ➔ The form "je suis devenue" combines the auxiliary "suis" (from être) with the past participle "devenue" to express a change of state.

  • j'ai lancé la machine au charbon dur

    ➔ Passé composé with auxiliary “avoir” + past participle (regular action)

    ➔ The phrase "j'ai lancé" is a classic passé composé construction: auxiliary "ai" (from avoir) + past participle "lancé".

  • c'est pas de la magie mais qu'est-ce que tu imagines

    ➔ Colloquial negative without “ne” (c’est pas) and interrogative structure “qu’est‑ce que + subject + verb”

    ➔ In "c'est pas", the negative particle "pas" is used without the preceding "ne" – a common spoken French pattern. "Qu'est‑ce que tu imagines" forms a question by placing "qu'est‑ce que" before the subject "tu".

  • c'est en me noyant que j'ai appris à pète la dalle

    ➔ Causal construction “c’est en … que …” indicating “by doing something, …”

    ➔ The phrase "c'est en me noyant que" translates to “by drowning myself, …”, linking the cause (drowning) to the result (learning).

  • il y a des bonbons elle pense m'avoir

    ➔ Existential construction “il y a” meaning “there is/are”

    ➔ The phrase "il y a" introduces the existence of something – here “des bonbons”.

  • je réponds pas de façon j'ai le cœur vite comme ça

    ➔ Colloquial negative omission of “ne” (je réponds pas) and simple present tense

    ➔ In spoken French, the negative particle "pas" often appears without the preceding "ne""je réponds pas" means “I don’t answer”. The verb is in the simple present.

  • tu étais pas là dans les galères

    ➔ Imperfect tense “étais” indicating a past continuous or habitual state

    ➔ The verb "étais" is the imperfect form of "être", used here to describe a past situation that was ongoing: "you were not there".
