Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Moi j'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I get up, I get dressed, I put on my bulletproof vest (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Ça s'tape, ça s'gave parce qu'ils ont la dalle (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
They're at each other's throats because they're starving (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Les petits m'regardent comme Che Guewara
The little ones look at me like Che Guevara
J'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle
I get up, I get dressed, I put on my bulletproof vest
J'suis sans mes lunettes dans un Clio (Clio) à Rio (Rio)
I'm without my glasses in a Clio (Clio) in Rio (Rio)
Un mal pour un bien comme la chimio' (Chimio'), c'est pas bio (Bio)
A pain for a gain like chemo (Chemo), it's not organic (Organic)
La rue n'a que deux voies, je crois qu'il va pleuvoir
The street has only two lanes, I think it's going to rain
Il me tarde de voir le karma faire son devoir (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I can't wait to see karma do its duty (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Moi j'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I get up, I get dressed, I put on the bulletproof vest (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Ça s'tape, ça s'gave parce qu'ils ont la dalle (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
They're fighting, they're feasting because they're hungry (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Les petits m'regardent comme Che Guewara
The little ones look at me like Che Guevara
J'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle
I get up, I get dressed, I put on the bulletproof vest
Près du soleil, j'ai les ailes usées, abusé
Close to the sun, my wings are worn, overused
Tu m'as vu passer dans la fusée, ou au musée
Did you see me pass in the rocket, or at the museum
Un pourboire de 2K, coup d'barre après l'repas
A tip of 2K, a slump after the meal
Le jet est en retard, mon clone est quelque part (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
The jet is late, my clone is somewhere (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Moi j'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I get up, I get dressed, I put on the bulletproof vest (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Ça s'tape, ça s'gave parce qu'ils ont la dalle (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
They're fighting, they're feasting because they're hungry (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Les petits m'regardent comme Che Guewara
The little ones look at me like Che Guevara
J'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle
I get up, I dress up, I put on the bulletproof vest
Moi j'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle
I get up, I dress up, I put on the bulletproof vest
Ça s'tape, ça s'gave parce qu'ils ont la dalle
They're crashing, they're feeding because they're hungry
Les petits m'regardent comme Che Guewara
The little ones look at me like Che Guevara
J'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle
I get up, I dress up, I put on the bulletproof vest
Moi j'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I get up, I dress up, I put on the bulletproof vest (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ça s'tape, ça s'gave parce qu'ils ont la dalle (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
They're crashing, they're feeding because they're hungry (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Les petits m'regardent comme Che Guewara (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The little ones look at me like Che Guevara (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
J'me lève, j'me sape, j'mets l'gilet pare-balle (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I get up, I dress up, I put on the bulletproof vest (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
