[Intro: Sampling "La bohème" by Charles Aznavour, Noizy]
Je vous parle d'un temps que les moins de vingt ans
Ne peuvent pas connaître
Montmartre en ce temps-là, accrochait ces lilas
Jusque sous nos fenêtres
Et si l'humble garni, (Ay) qui nous servait de nid (Yeah)
Ne payait pas de mine
C'est là qu'on s'est (Ay rap) connu, moi qui criais famine (Noizy)
Et toi qui posais nue
[Verse 1]
I have melodies and poetry, I've come to make history
I remember when I started, I thought I wouldn't finish
I remеmber when I was small, I told you that I'd be big
Shе never looks at the sky because she's got a star right next to her
And every time I shoot it, she says "Make a wish"
Because life's very short, you never know how it will end
Since we're here, let's live it up to the max
And that bad vibe, nah we don't want it
It's time to smile, time to make some cash
House on the coast, wearing a watch that's worth more than the village
I'm with friends reminiscing about the old times
And we always end up smoking two or three joints
If we're not on the corner, we're on the third floor
OTR empire, the real kings
One more drink, one more toast
Strong as armour, OTR monarchy
[Chorus]
Life brings you light, life brings you fear
Life will challenge you a million times
You must be ready for it, you must be calm
You live life once and there's no reverse
Life brings you light, life brings you fear
Life will challenge you a million times
You must be ready for it, you must be calm
You live life once and there's no reverse
[Verse 2]
I have a heart like an iron, calm as if I'm dead
I'd rather die like a lion than live like a rabbit
My face is untouched and my stomach's still hungry
I was a diamond in the rough but now I've been discovered
Noizy makes masterpieces, Noizy's on another level
I grew up on the streets, wild like a jackal
I'm aware of everything happening around me
Don't chat shit to me, at least not in front of me
Fuck fake friends, the wind took my fake friends
Night after night, me and my brothers move like hawks
In the middle of winter, the weed blooms and you say "Spring has come"
The temperature drops outside, the evening is being enjoyed
I'm with the same brothers from the block
From when we had nothing to eat and no money in our pockets
Now we're building a state because we have power
We're always together, all for one and one for all
[Chorus]
Life brings you light, life brings you fear
Life will challenge you a million times
You must be ready for it, you must be calm
You live life once and there's no reverse
Life brings you light, life brings you fear
Life will challenge you a million times
You must be ready for it, you must be calm
You live life once and there's no reverse
