Being with a girl is not for me
Going to work is not for me
School, no, it wasn't for me
Football, engines
Actresses, actors, they're not for me
Many friends on the street enter blindfolded
They make you raise your hands in supermarkets
This piece, bro, is for those less fortunate
Who have never had rap to save them
I thought I would end up inside for some crime
Here, if you're born round, you become square
Square of home and of Aler*
That often holds you hostage
Rhymes on paper, bro, the discomfort flows
Joints in the park on May evenings
With brothers scared of the cage, I know
That everything will change, bro, like a premonition
As if everything now were a passage
Like climbing the summit of the world
And sitting on the grass enjoying the landscape
Among everything I do
Everything I fight for
Without contacts, cash, even without a contract
Being with a girl is not for me
Going to work is not for me
School, no, it wasn't for me
Football, engines
Actresses, actors, they're not for me
I don't do robberies, I do rap
I don't sell little bags, I do rap
And I don't give a f*ck about what you think
I keep going and I think that
What saved me is rap
And how many of my bros are still the same
They're still turning those grams
Same buddies, same parks
Zero cash, zero plans
Often hunger leads you to do damage
Often the street makes you arrive late
Often I told myself not to turn back
To think about myself without believing in others
Believing that it's possible
Skipping steps, then skipping the limit
Years pass but I keep pushing
As if I only live to win
Without trials, without rehab*
Without lawyers with me
But with the tracks in the club
I can only do it with rap
Being with a girl is not for me
Going to work is not for me
School, no, it wasn't for me
Football, engines
Actresses, actors, they're not for me
I don't do robberies, I do rap
I don't sell little bags, I do rap
And I don't give a f*ck about what you think
What saved me is rap
