Na Paryskie Getto Pada Deszcz [English translation]
Na Paryskie Getto Pada Deszcz [English translation]
To be honest I'm tired of myself
I think I'd like to be someone more
To write a novel or a will, just anything other than these fucking poems (you know? I know)
I see heads of three dogs coming from a single bitch, as if it's Cerberus tracking me
I'll give the barman a huge tip because he's been my therapist for a week now
I can't sleep so I write
Second anniversary, I book a hotel at Champs-Élysées again
I don't pray for the world to be good because I don't see any chances for it
These awful visions in my mind, once made by sour diesel1
Shops all around, Balenciaga, they smoke a joint among poverty
Poor people freezing, it's raining, Louis, Fendi, Lanvin, Prada
That's all you want to hear, and it's raining in the Parisian ghetto
But you don't want to think about it, cash is pouring, pouring, pouring from the sky
That's all you want to hear, and it's snowing in the Parisian ghetto
But you don't want to think about it, rap used to move me to tears
What happened to them?
What happened to me?
I'm old, baby
We sit in smog, drink vodka
In my heart there are my homies, family, and cash
I carry 5k and half a liter in my coat
Both when I visit the graveyard and the delivery room
For new shoes or at least a new bottle
Poles celebrate death and birth loudly
I'm afraid of death, I see it in the mirror at night again
And mom tells me not to rap about it because it's sad
"What's wrong Fifi?" I'm cursing again
Friend asks "How are you?" it's ups and downs, buddy
Somebody's bell rings today, for someone it'll be later
I just want to reach bliss before I fall asleep
They point their fingers "He got lucky"
And they're right, I drew a golden card
When you think about it capitalism is a simple tale
Wolf is full but the sheep is dead2
That's all you want to hear, and it's raining in the Parisian ghetto
But you don't want to think about it, cash is pouring, pouring, pouring from the sky
That's all you want to hear, and it's snowing in the Parisian ghetto
But you don't want to think about it, rap used to move me to tears
Rap used to move me to tears
I wanted to kill myself, Kanye West was playing on the radio
It rained again
I already said goodbye to my mom via SMS
I think I can't cry anymore
I don't feel anything on these antidepressants
Drugs don't help, Vitkac3 doesn't help
I feel like I have no heart, you say it's obvious
I can't cry anymore
You want to switch places with me
Only expensive sweaters
Raindrops falling outside
My feelings are over
But my money will never be
I got this smoke like Pop
And this champagne will pop
That's all you want to hear, and it's raining in the Parisian ghetto
But you don't want to think about it, cash is pouring, pouring, pouring from the sky
That's all you want to hear, and it's snowing in the Parisian ghetto
But you don't want to think about it, rap used to move me to tears
To tears, to tears, to tears, to tears
