“Manipulée par un communiquant qui sèmera la pagaille
En gros, air pollution contre money dans une mallette”
“Manipulated by a messy communicator
Principally, air pollution for money in a briefcase”
and provides a really adverse image of the world future :
“Tu peux dormir tranquille, je m’occupe de la planète
J’te volerai des fèves et balancerai les galettes
En fait, pour être honnête, be aware que le bien-être va disparaître
Donc profite de la nature en traînant près des transpalettes”
“You’ll be able to sleep effectively, I’ll maintain the planet
I’ll steal your beans and throw away the “galettes”
Actually, to be trustworthy, wellbeing goes to vanish
So get pleasure from nature whereas hanging across the pallet jacks”

“Ça despatched l’roussi, j’peux pas m’la couler douce
De plus, la cellule me rappelle trop la chambre du Crous”
“This doesn’t look good, I can’t take it simple.
Apart from, the cell jogs my memory an excessive amount of of an inexpensive scholar dorm room”
“Le rêve, c’étaient des RS4 et des geishas, une S.A
Et résultat, on est en d’ça du RSA”
“We dreamt of RS4 and geishas, a enterprise
In the long run, we aren’t even incomes the minimal wage”
He ends with a troubling verse turning a well-known nursery rhyme right into a denunciation of gun violence. Within the verse, he replaces the phrase “marionettes” (puppets) by “mitraillettes” (submachine gun) and “excursions” (turns) by “trous” (holes).
“Ainsi font, font, font les petites mitraillettes
Ainsi font trois p’tits trous et puis s’en vont
Ainsi font, font, font les petites mitraillettes
Ainsi font trois p’tits trous et puis s’en vont”
“Thus they go, go, go little submachine gun
Thus they go, go, go three little holes and off they stream
Thus they go, go, go little submachine gun
Thus they go, go, go three little holes and off they stream”
