De tout là-haut [English translation]

Sinik

Let me introduce myself, I was a man

Today I'm dead

I look at you from up there

Without saying one word, like a kid

Alcoholic in order to exterminate the evil better

The bottle killed me

My Mercedes ended the work

I can see everything even the bottom of the bottle

I've seen my old best friend telling my wife that she's beautiful

I see my tombstone

Those who come and those who don't come

Rather those who love me and those who don't love me

I can see everything and I won't hide anything from you

Some are crying there, some have come to spit

I see my daughter, I cry when I have the blues

I look at her growing up, I wake up when she coughs

I don't want her to see my name on a slab of marble

It's raining because I'm crying puddles of tears

So many regrets because I've let my chance pass by

Because I've watched my youngest brother clearing out my room

Because I've seen him turning insolent, stubborn

Beaten up, finding refuge in cans of beer

I catch sight of Mélanie, all the haters that want her to die

Yesterday I saw a weird guy near her door

I see all these rappers

Rapping loud what they thought in a whisper

Selling my death as if I was Tupac

(chorus - Kayna Samet)

I see the world, but from the hereafter

Words catch my throat

I could fill buckets with tears

They encouraged me to sin

From up there

I feel so lonely, so bad

So far away from others

I've noticed that to some, I wasn't irreplaceable

I'm dead but all they speak about is the size of my plasma screen

All these dogs that I used to love so much, that I've sheltered under my roof

Are fighting to get the care, not of my kid but of my quad bike

From up there, I see the mayor conspiring

I've seen how these bulldozers have destroyed the C building

Karim, I was at your wedding

In a posthumous capacity, up there I wore a suit

My wife can't make it

Bank statements are monthly

I get crazy, yesterday I saw her brother raising a hand to her

A few fans miss me, I've seen one cutting his veins

I smoke a cigarette, looking at my brothers hanging around in Fresnes

Every morning at the same hour, I see my mother going to shop

You can't figure out how it hurts when I hear her crying on the sly

My father is so brave, a whole life of sacrifices

I've pointed out that his face got ten years older in two years

Don't worry, my money is transfered to you

Nabil, I'd so like you to hear me

I didn't get the time to thank you

I've seen everything from up there

Jealous people throwing the bad eye at you

But in my mind, I remained young

I still love throwing eggs

I didn't know my sight was coming from the sky

I've well seen that in Bergeres Street, some children sell drugs

V.I.P., I've seen the judge playing footsy with De Villepin

Convicting, sending Biggs to Villepinte's walks

Yeah dude, it's been so long, our trajectories are weird

Here you are alone and since a few time your brother Nasser walks by my side

Everyday we create a new world

Talking, our gazes are far away

You're aware, unfortunately Benaissa

Has joined us

Missed, I think even the most weak-kneed aren't young enough anymore

United, so we hang around from clouds to clouds

From up there

Don't forget that I see everything

That stars are my eyes...

(chorus)
