Comme une étoile [English translation]

I just want to shine

Like a star, I've always had to know how to pull through

Life is just a stopover

And if I have to give in,

It will be to bullets, but you won't hear me shout,

Because I have a bulletproof vest

Motherfucker, I will be brought home

Buried in Senegal, i will eventually find peace

I will be lonely like a star

Like a star, I've disappeared a long time ago,

But you still see me shine, sparkle

I followed the small footpaths, leaved the construction site, Hauts-de-Seine, obscene African like a West Indian guy

Free from my chains, payback is my right

I ran like a slave to walk like a king

Unfortunately, I haven't always toed the line,

I kept my automatic (gun) and my friends close to me

You think the earth is beautiful, it is even more seen from up there

A nigger is a good nigger when he's dead on the floor

I light up my cell, saw its bars, on these piano notes, regret Rat Luciano's era

Golden eagle, last trip, put up the volume inside your car, pay me a tribute

I just have what I deserve, don't think it's too bad, "ni putes ni soumises" are going to gloat, these assholes !

Suburbans to the blood, no matter what Sarko(zy) does, 92 with no sarcophagus

And the piano is sending me to sleep, Terminator is my mentor, I still dream about taking back my gold.

I just want to shine

Like a star, I've always had to know how to pull through

Life is just a stopover

And if I have to give in,

It will be to bullets, but you won't hear me shout,

Because I have a bulletproof vest

Motherfucker, I will be brought home

Buried in Senegal, i will eventually find peace

I will be lonely like a star

People will no longer hear me

People will no longer see me

Look up towards the clouds

You will see my quill pen (feather) fly

B2O 100 minus 8 zoo, the zone is under our control, if I don't face those niggas

Their blade will stick into my back

You think that I'm going bad, that I don't sleep anymore

You would like to dry my tears but it's been a long time since I stopped crying

Ladies and gentlemen.
