Translation of J'étais Comme Eux (ft. Démon One) from French to English
Soprano, Demon One
Marseille (oh)
I know that insolent and carefree look
That black eye and that threatening air
All those hours spent in a block smoking
With his friends, skipping classes to go hang out
I know these fights
These stories of territories
These stories of respect that are settled in the evening
This desire to bite the world
All these eggs thrown when the cops made their rounds
Ohh me too just like him
I took the mic, rapped all night
All the cops were my enemies
I raised my voice on my whole family
Ohhhh
I copied the gestures of the big guys in the neighborhood
I thought I was Everest facing the little ones in the neighborhoods
Despite all that's said, look a little at how we ended up
Ohhh!
All these young people at the bottom of the blocks without hope
I was like them
Those who waste their youth in a square
I was like them
Those who move forward without landmarks late at night
I was like them
This youth that hasn't learned the word victory
I was like them
It's ohohoh 1.3
It's ohohoh 9.4
It's ohohoh 1.3
9.4 it's
I too have known these endless days in front of the hall
The evenings on a parking lot where it smokes and drinks
On the weekend I went to get my little pouch on Amsterdam
I stayed stuck in front of the console all day in a local
I had parties, I dreamed of glory, success, shining
Of drowning like Scrooge in a pool of bills
I thought, when I was undercooked, I was Superman
While in my head and in my heart I was super bad
Lots of dreams in my head and not a penny in my pocket
I was like them, nothing to lose in the shit under a porch
I too wanted to become, my friend, the boss of the city, drive a Porsche
To live only on easy money
I asked myself a lot of questions about my life and this world
I dreamed of doing feats, hearing my voice on the waves
Like him I came home late, I missed all the evening meals
Always involved in stories, in dirty tricks, in fights
All these young people at the bottom of the blocks without hope
I was like them
Those who waste their youth in a square
I was like them
Those who move forward without landmarks late at night
I was like them
This youth that hasn't learned the word victory
I was like them
It's ohohoh 1.3
It's ohohoh 9.4
It's ohohoh 1.3
9.4 it's
And me too the school weather forecast only predicted storms for me
A future all gray
Family problems isolated me
Lack of money prevented me from flying
Ohh
The guidance counselor sent me into trouble
She put me in a branch I didn't want to do
When I went to the movies man I entered from behind
In the city wheel back, African the banner
But I also learned through these sleepless nights
That life had no sleigh or white beard
Ohh
I too learned that you have to show yourself strong and patient
Use your knowledge and your knowledge wisely
All these young people at the bottom of the blocks without hope
I was like them
Those who waste their youth in a square
I was like them
Those who move forward without landmarks late at night
I was like them
This youth that hasn't learned the word victory
I was like them
It's ohohoh 1.3
It's ohohoh 9.4
It's ohohoh 1.3
9.4 it's
Yeah
Demon One, Soprano
For all the guys from the blocks
Ohoh Ohoh Ohoh
Mafia K'1 K'1
It's The Psykatra of the rimiaaaa
Demon One, Sopra'mbaba
