47TER – Côte Ouest (English lyrics)

Chorus 2x :
I’m grabbing the bad side of life and I’m breaking it’s ribs
Don’t worry, we’ll go live on the west coast
You think that we’re gonna be broke
But in two years I’ll make a milli, what are you talking about ?

1st verse :
In two years from now, I might be projecting myself too far in the future but maybe not
I rather be an arrogant asshole than an old soul
I rather be mistaken in my strategy than to end up in your statistics
My future, a tragedy if I’m not able to fill up stadiums around here
Paris, the capital city ran by rap’s beat and the guys that used them
There’s the guys that live in the projects who talk to us about the misery and the robberies, and the guys who do business
Despite all that, we’re all the same, we all dropped out of school hoping that it would pay up
We don’t sell the same amount of records nor do we have the same amount of success, but we all feel the same lump in our throats before going up on stage, but…

Pre chorus :
I was never mistrustful in my life
And still, never again will I have a real job

Chorus 2x :
I’m grabbing the bad side of life and I’m breaking it’s ribs
Don’t worry, we’ll go live on the west coast
You think that we’re gonna be broke
But in two years I’ll make a milli, what are you talking about ?

2nd verse :
In two years from now, I might be projecting myself too far in the future but maybe not
I love taking myself for a prophet whenever I receive commercial offers
I love it when I remind my grand mother that I’ve decided to make rap music my living
To her, if I’m not at Drucker I’ll end up a bum and I’ll remain one
I’m gonna end up so rich, I just don’t know when yet
We’re drinking shots, tell me what are we waiting on
Are we waiting for our fathers approval, are we waiting for the dope spots approval ?
Whether they like it or not we’re gonna keep doing it for 25 years
But rest assured, my heart, we’re gonna have whatever we need when we need
I really hope so, or else you really got yourself in deep trouble

Pre chorus :
I was never mistrustful in my life
And still, never again will I have a real job

Chorus 2x :
I’m grabbing the bad side of life and I’m breaking it’s ribs
Don’t worry, we’ll go live on the west coast
You think that we’re gonna be broke
But in two years I’ll make a milli, what are you talking about ?

Bridge 2X :
I hope one day, that we’re gonna go for a stroll, we’re gonna go for a spin like Aladin
His flying carpet will be my Bentley, and that’s when I’ll ask you to marry me
Until then, I gotta remain here, I gotta work at the Ker
We’re gonna leave when my salary will be enough

Chorus 2x :
I’m grabbing the bad side of life and I’m breaking it’s ribs
Don’t worry, we’ll go live on the west coast
You think that we’re gonna be broke
But in two years I’ll make a milli, what are you talking about ?
