Brrrr
She asks me my name, acts like she doesn't know
Behind me, you little bastard, didn't you see my chain?
Ocean view, I need some wari (money)
Touch my head, she wants to touch my twists
Everything for the team, they're my blood
You're disgusted, what's up, haven't you seen the come up?
For my team, I've only given
I make the bread, eat the flesh, the flesh itself
I don't have trouble making it wet, no trouble with head
I get on the beast, before that, head
Making mountains of money, don't know what to do with it
Feels like these assholes guarded Pablo for too long
The hood ain't pretty
But the Roma kids learn my times tables
I like it when it's profitable
When I see my face at the top, underneath, it's fabulous
Leave like their souls, but I'm not Caesar
I made my first 15k at 16 years old
I put in work, bitch, kid, immigrant, I've been rapping since 2015, I'm on fire
I broke some transporters, for rose petals
Mountain of racks, need rose petals
For the papers, I busted, I smoked like crazy
Damn, I'm high, I smoked like crazy, smoked like crazy
She asks me my name, acts like she doesn't know
Behind me, you little bastard, didn't you see my chain?
Ocean view, I need some wari (money)
Touch my head, she wants to touch my waves
Everything for the team, they're my blood
You're disgusted, what's up, haven't you seen the come up?
For my team, I've only given
I make the bread, eat the flesh, the flesh itself
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Need Saint Laurent, LV, I give everything for my babe
I'm messed up, messed up, like my size L t-shirt
I'll never be impressed by your little BBL
I want big, I want big, I want big
For real, I put the collab on it, top bro
They call me "my bro", they call me "my broski"
Luffy, you're far from being my blood
In a loft in the closet of Paris, it's a friend, it's not an Airbnb
I'm with Big Max live from Soho
We're discussing the balance sheet, we're discussing the situation
My dressing room, big, without buckles
Ousmane, on the Champs-Élysées
I'm in the gallery, jet to a Miami
I've stopped giving them my soul
It's only my bros, only, only
She asks me my name, acts like she doesn't know
Behind me, you little bastard, didn't you see my chain?
Ocean view, I need some wari (money)
Touch my fist, she wants to touch my wari (money)
Everything for the team, they're my blood
You're disgusted, what's up, haven't you seen the come up?
For my team, I've only given
I make the bread, eat the flesh, the flesh itself
When she saw the camp, he talked a little
I went to her mom's, one phone call
You disappear like my father
I'm still waiting for the notary's call
I level up, in the project I level up
In the envelope, I take out a stack of ten thousand
I like it when the traffic, it develops
We can pull up on you even if you're 40 years old (can you?)
When I'm never in, we have funds and plans
We take your stuff, we don't give it back
I'm on the slope, smoking them stresses me
I built my empire under the tram tracks
The bad reflections made me sleep at the station
We took pictures in Lacoste tracksuits
Sizes, stems and cuts
Now that I'm hated, she wants to watch my pocket, hash

Key Grammar Structures
-
Elle me demande mon name, elle me fait laquelle
➔ Use of 'laquelle' as a pronoun referring to a situation or action.
➔ Here, "laquelle" likely means 'what kind of act/performance she is putting on for me'. It substitutes for a longer expression. It implies the speaker finds her behavior artificial or calculating.
-
Derriere-moi, petit bâtard, t'as pas vu ma chaîne?
➔ Use of 'derrière-moi' (behind me) without a preposition (à, de, etc.). Informal speech.
➔ Standard French would be 'derrière moi'. The hyphenated form is common in spoken French and rap lyrics, indicating a rapid or simplified style of speech.
-
T'es dégoût, c'est quoi, t'as pas vu l'achève?
➔ Use of slang 'l'achève' (short for 'l'achèvement').
➔ 'L'achèvement' means accomplishment, success, or the finished product. Using the shortened form is informal and common in rap.
-
J'fais le beurre, manger la chair, de la chair
➔ Ellipsis. The full phrase is likely 'Je fais le beurre et je mange la chair, de la chair'. The repetition 'de la chair' for emphasis.
➔ This suggests the speaker gets both the benefit (butter) and the main reward (meat), emphasizing their success and resourcefulness. The repetition of 'de la chair' adds intensity.
-
Faire des montagnes de thunes, ça pas quoi faire avec
➔ Incorrect grammatical construction. Should be 'ne pas savoir quoi faire avec'. This is an example of popular slang. The omission of 'ne' in negation.
➔ This is a common feature of spoken French, especially in informal settings. The speaker intentionally deviates from standard grammar to convey a more relaxed, colloquial tone.
-
Luffy, t'es loin d'être mon sangui
➔ The expression 'être loin de' followed by an infinitive ('être') indicates a great distance, not just physical, but also figurative.
➔ It emphasizes the speaker and 'Luffy' are not close, 'sangui' is slang for 'sang' (blood), referring to blood relations or close friends. The 'loin de' conveys a vast difference between them.
