It's four in the morning and it's starting to get light
Biggie Jo on the beat
You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine
It's four in the morning and it's starting to get light
I'll come back with pockets full of money
I'll go see my teachers again
I'll tell them the prophecy of the one who defied the evil eye
I've known ups and downs, tell them
My career isn't porcelain
Bois-d'Ar' near the promenade
And mom comes to see me once a week
I've lost sleep over it
It's hatred I've scattered around
One day, we will end up loving each other
They want to know how much I make per week
I left without turning back
I followed their career but it didn't last long
And if I don't have many friends
It's because I've become a fool myself
I could've easily served eight years to end up in G800
And I'm going to cover her with Bottega
'Cause her heart has been damaged way too much (Let's go)
It's Fouiny and Gene' (Gene')
They want to know how much K I've managed to generate
Rushing in the Clio 2, when I come back, have mercy on them
Po, po, po, boom, R-RS Q8 is coming through
0-3 generations, we're shocking (We're shocking)
You won't digest the shells
Po, po, po, boom
They come to congratulate me (Always jealous)
Right after stoning me (Always jealous)
I came back like Fouiny (Rotoro)
You know, at the start, we're all fools
You know, at the start, we're all fools (Money)
My generation's heart is sick
So I gave love to these bills (Ouh, boom)
Looking for happiness in some girl
So we blew some cash
And indeed
My heart and liver are slowly drowning in pills
When I come back
Tell the coach to put those sons of bitches on that damn bench
German engine
I parked over six hundred horses in front of the white horse
I'll come back with a G22
To count how much I sold
I go into Mercedes and want two of them
The French Pera under my P22s
Condés on the ground, the label's celebrating
When I come back, it won't be their fault
Them and us, we don't do the same thing
Only by sucking do they get their feature
And I'll come back like a damn goat
Gold and haters on the coasts
Montaigne Avenue in a matte Cullinan
Rest in peace DJ Arafat
Po, po, po, boom, R-RS Q8 is coming through
0-3 generations, we're shocking (We're shocking)
You won't digest the shells
Po, po, po, boom
They come to congratulate me (Always jealous)
Right after stoning me (Always jealous)
I came back like Fouiny (Rotoro)
Po, po, po, boom, R-RS Q8 is coming through
0-3 generations, we're shocking (We're shocking)
You won't digest the shells
Po, po, po, boom
They come to congratulate me (Always jealous)
Right after stoning me (Always jealous)
I came back like Fouiny (Rotoro)
It's been ten years now since I've been
Almost ten years I’ve been rapping and it’s going to be my whole life
That I make music
Because I really was pushed into it from a young age
And to get to what you’re saying
I think that if I could give some advice, you see
Whether it’s someone who’s made a lot of music
Or someone who
It's about enjoying yourself and believing in what you do
And not giving up
