Eh, eh
Eh, eh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
C'est quoi l'rêve au bloc "réunion d'potes"
What’s the dream in the block 'gathering of friends'
Des tas d'histoires qui choquent, en tout cas chacun papote
A ton of shocking stories, but everyone chats away
Sur le banc, on s'voit sur scène avec le mike
On the bench, we see ourselves on stage with the mic
Faisant tomber les go dans les pommes comme dans un strike
Making the girls dizzy like it’s a strike
Sur la pelouse, on organise le barbecue
On the lawn, we’re setting up the barbecue
Ghetto Blaster puissance dix comme dans Ice Cube
Ghetto Blaster cranked up to ten like in Ice Cube
On rêve de scènes immenses tout comme au States
We dream of huge stages just like in the States
Mais comme on n'a pas les grosses Bentley, on s'entraîne au skate
But since we don’t have the big Bentleys, we practice on the skate
J'aime kiffer la belle life
I love living the good life
Fumer des gros blunts, Paris Black Night
Smoking big blunts, Paris Black Night
Je fume un cigare comme Puff Dad
I smoke a cigar like Puff Daddy
Appelle-moi O Black Barracuda
Call me O Black Barracuda
Des belles meufs m'entourent, je me sauve pas non, je me sauve pas
Beautiful girls surround me, I'm not running away, no, I'm not running away
Bienvenue à Saint Barth, doucement sur la vodka
Welcome to Saint Barth, easy on the vodka
Nous, on ne dort pas 24 sur 24
We don't sleep, 24/7
On respecte nos quotas, c'est Black Jack et Solaar
We respect our quotas, it's Black Jack and Solaar
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
I used to see you rapping on TV everyday (sous les palmiers)
I used to see you rapping on TV every day (under the palms)
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Now when I hear you rapping, it's like a holiday
Now when I hear you rapping, it's like a holiday
Mon prof m'a dit "Claude soit positif
My teacher told me, 'Claude, stay positive
Garde la photo, mais jette le négatif"
Keep the photo, but throw away the negative'
Je donne le maximum sur le microphone jamais aphone
I give my all on the microphone, never hoarse
Kick sur mégaphone, téléphone, interphone
Kick on megaphone, telephone, intercom
Dans la tour j'rêve de yacht sur les yachts de ma tour
In the tower I dream of yachts on the yachts of my tower
Comme un troubadour qui pense qu'à passer son tour
Like a troubadour who thinks only of passing his turn
Classe et placé toujours prêt du glacier
Classy and stationed, always ready by the glacier
Range ton acier, on est sous les palmiers
Put away your steel, we're under the palm trees
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
I used to see you rapping on TV everyday (sous les palmiers)
I used to see you rapping on TV every day (under the palm trees)
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Now when I hear you rapping, it's like a holiday
Now when I hear you rapping, it's like a holiday
Selon mon concept, vivre ensemble, c'est vivre mieux
According to my concept, living together means living better
Le plus important, c'est d'être, d'être heureux
The most important thing is to be, to be happy
Avant tout, qu'le ciel réalise tes vœux
Above all, may the sky fulfill your wishes
À cœur joie, j'en profite et remercie les cieux
With joyful heart, I take it in and thank the heavens
Hip Hop non-stop, please visualise
Hip Hop non-stop, please visualize
Les clashs dans la danse et la violence se canalise
The clashes in dance and the violence gets channeled
Pas de 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4
No 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4
Si tu montres tes phases, si t'en a pas bas les pattes
If you show your phases, if you ain't got no game
Et quand les rastas criaient Lord of Mercy
And when the Rastas cried Lord of Mercy
Moi, j'allais aux Halles juste pour pécho des maxis
I used to go to the Halles just to grab some maxis
Puis je suis devenu Claude MC
Then I became Claude MC
Et si le beat est lourd, j'l'adoucis à la poésie
And if the beat is heavy, I sweeten it with poetry
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
I used to see you rapping on TV everyday (sous les palmiers)
I used to see you rapping on TV every day (under the palms)
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Now when I hear you rapping, it's like a holiday (sous les palmiers)
Now when I hear you rapping, it's like a holiday (under the palms)
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
I used to see you rapping on TV everyday (sous les palmiers)
I used to see you rapping on TV every day (under the palm trees)
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh, yeah-ehh
Now when I hear you rapping, it's like a holiday
Now when I hear you rapping, it feels like a holiday
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Eh, eh
Eh, eh
Sous Les Palmiers
Under the Palm Trees
