Reuf [English translation]

[Verse 1: Nekfeu]

This is for my brothers and sisters from another mother

Who have become like family

My bro has always covered for me

So I’m-a keep lying to his girlfriend

My mama could discipline him as if he was her own son

If he got in a fight, I’d jump right in with him

Even if my clothes are expensive, doesn’t matter

Even if he was the one who started shit

It’s true, he's impulsive, but it hurts to see him

Disappoint his parents and waste his time

There's 30 of us on the list, we get in the club

One of us can't get in? No one does!

I'm the only who's seen you when your hair is messed up

Our squad was deep in high school and you know it

My squad was almost exclusively hot heads

I was the one they sent to make us seem civilized

Emergencies, marriages, births

Court dates, sleepless nights and mini-naps

All my friends got guts

But you can't see it like pregnancy denial

[Pre-Chorus: Nekfeu]

This is for my bros, the real ones, not the fakes

The brothers, not just friends, hey, hey

I'm talking 'bout my bros, the real ones, not the fakes

The sisters, not just friends, hey, hey

I'm talking 'bout my bros, the real ones, not the fakes

The brothers, not just friends, fuck the traitors

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & (Nekfeu)]

When you feel lonely

Know which way to go

I'll be calling you (S-Croums)

I'll be calling you (Ninety-five)

They don't even know me but (BlackBird)

When you feel alone

I'll be calling you (For the people who know I'm speaking facts)

I'll be calling you

[Verse 2: Nekfeu]

I've spent my adolescence stealing in secret

If I told you I regretted it, I'd be lying

Now I know you can get busted tomorrow

And nothing beats the feeling of a peaceful life

Life is just a layover and your body is just a loan

You complain; but think about death, that's even worse!

It was a struggle, we used to climb over fences

Just so we could sleep in the stairway

We were together to turn every place upside down

To dodge security, you needed cold blood

I know the emptiness it leaves you with

If it wasn't for my most loyal friend, I probably would've ended up homeless

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & (Nekfeu)]

Calling you, calling you

When you feel lonely

Know which way to go

I'll be calling you (This is for my bros and my sisters)

I'll be calling you (Seine Zoo)

They don't even know me but

When you feel alone (Until the day we die)

I'll be calling you (For the people who know who I am)

I'll be calling you (BlackBird)

[Verse 3: Nekfeu]

With my boys, all we did was piss everybody off

On the path to friendship, I've made many deep connections

But I grew up, I don't gotta tell you, mom

We really seem dumb when we get caught up in our delusions

I was little when my Kabyles nicknamed me "Fennec"

S-Crew, 2001, baby

Back then, we didn't need to call each other up

We just had to whistle under the windows

We give each other so much, we're even now

Crude language when we get wasted

Open bar, we burn it down as a team

Open mic, we burn it down as a team

My best friend wears a headscarf, she's cute

I don't open my door for anyone, I don't give a damn

I put all my boys in my music videos

Even the ugly ones

We learned how to become men

Here, life knocks you around

I told myself we gotta look out for each other

All while my friends are sleeping around me

[Bridge: Ed Sheeran]

I'll be calling you

I'll be calling you

I'll be calling you, oh

[Verse 4: Nekfeu]

I've seen some bros who don't put in the effort anymore, who don't hit me up anymore

I've seen old branches leave and I've seen fake ones stay

My bro ran away from reality, oh, I'd love to help him

The other day, I caught him talking all by himself, he saw me and smiled as if nothing was wrong

There was no one to help this brother, who came from a directionless childhood

Your mother knew you were gonna disappoint her when you said you were gonna get clean

Despite your devout parents, you spun out of control and you hit rock bottom

The prayer's over like the hat that left marks on your forehead

You wanted to take your own life, anyone could've seen that

Before jumping out the window, you were staring into the void
