[English]

We took the money like in the old days

Every battle is written at the doors

I distrust a cop too close to his firearm

and a snitch too close to my pockets

All those who talk, we're going to pop them

We have the knowledge, we have the method

I don't count on them because they would want me to die in obscurity

A bastard bag, I have bloodshot eyes

For now everything's going well

Work hard while we're on the board

There's Beriz and birch

Shining like Yuri

I'm waiting for the day when

In every prayer I trust in God, I don't trust the job

We're in the spotlight, we light it up again

If it's not profitable, we cancel it

In our place to beat the crisis, you have to ask God, seriously

Don't ask the moon

Thousands of euros in cash

And I put the suckers back on the street

9240 you're just one, it's AMK Ocho, you see our two names on the front page yeah

As soon as I leave the building they take photos, photos

The gang from my neighborhood, Ronaldinho Gocho

It's not you who's going out, you need to run your mouth

It's 1.4.0, the real ones know it

Go make it cold hidden under the Vietnamese

At the fashion weekend we come to tighten you up

I take the cash from here to the homeland, I invest it

Or else I rob it in a fancy jacket

Intact at the sight, I arrive broke, I end up as the boss of the locker room

Light flow Leicester, I deserve the number 7 at Manchester

I deserve a follow-up from the real

I'm on the iron throne in real port, thank you

We're the gang for life, till death

We screw you, we kill our regrets

We want to make our mothers proud

Come on, I'll handle the end of the month

At ease with thousands of deaths

I want to see kaka memor

I don't want to pretend, I'm fed up

We want to rewrite our lands, we want to make our dead proud

I don't want to hide my pain under my North Face

Ocho

We're the real ones, they're the fake ones

We have the real ones who feel like the fake ones

I'm happy when I see a cop, I have a gene in the pit

As soon as I leave the building they take photos, photos

The gang from my neighborhood, Ronaldinho Gocho

[French]

On a pris le plata comme à l'époque

Chaque bataille s'écrit à des portes

Je me méfie d'un flic trop proche de son arme à feu

et d'un srab trop près de mes poches

Tous ceux qui bavardent on va les pop

On a le savoir, on a la méthode

Je ne les calcule pas car ils voudraient que j'crève au placard

Un sac bâtard, j'ai des yeux tous rouges

Pour l'instant tout roule

Charbonne dur tant qu'on est sur la planche

Y'a du Beriz et du bouleau

Foyant comme Yuri

J'attends le jour où

Dans chaque prière je me confie à dieu je ne me confie pas au boulot

On est dans la lumière on rallume

Si c'est pas rentable on annule

Chez nous pour feinter la crise faut demander à dieu gros

Faut pas demander à la lune

Des kalapés des milliers d'euros

Et je remets les quichtas dans la rue

9240 t'es qu'un c'est AMK Ocho tu vois nous deux blaze à la une yeah

C'est pas toi qui sors faut que tu frottes la bavette

C'est du 1.4.0 les vrais le savent

Va faire froid caché sous la vietsère

A la fashion week end on vient te serra

Je prends le cash d'ici au bled je l'investi

Ou sinon je le braque dans un veston gashi

Intacte à la vista j'arrive roké je finis capo du vestiaire

Light flow Leicester je mérite le numéro 7 à Manchester

Moi je mérite suit du réal

Je suis sur le trône de fer à port réal merci

Nous C'est le gang à la vie à la mort

On vous fourre on tue nos remords

On veut rendre fière nos mères

Allez j'assure la fin du mois

A l'aise pleins des milliers de morts

Je veux voir kaka mémor

Je veux pas faire semblant j'en ai marre

On veut réécrire nos terres on veut rendre fière nos morts

Je veux pas cacher ma peine sous ma north face

Ocho

C'est nous les vrais c'est eux les faux

On a les vrais montes qui se sentent les fausses

Je suis content quand je vois un fumi j'ai une gène dans la fosse
