Maître Gims – J’me tire (English lyrics)

Note : During an interview Maitre Gims spoke about the inspiration behind the song :
“I’m always on tour…so after a while whether it’s in music or in a different line of work, or in sports, you feel like leaving. You feel like relaxing a little, you feel like getting back in contact with your family, with the people that you don’t see anymore. Because the more you rise, the more you climb, the more you fall on the other side, you go back down, because it’s pulling from both sides. So I wrote this text, I sang this song for that reason. I need to find myself a little.”

Chorus :
I’m getting out of here, don’t ask me why I left for no reason
Sometimes I can feel my hearth turning cold
It’s sad to say but nothing saddens me any more
Just let me get away far from here
To keep smilling, I would tell myself that it could be worse
If that’s the way it is then fuck being an artist
I know it seems cliché to say that we’re being picked on
But I’ll say it just because it rhymes

Bridge :
I’m leaving for a place where I won’t be the suspect
Then I’ll change name like Cassius Clay
A place where I wouldn’t have to grab the mic’
A place where no one gives a shit about my life

Chorus :
I’m getting out of here, don’t ask me why I left for no reason
Sometimes I can feel my hearth turning cold
It’s sad to say but nothing saddens me any more
Let me get away far from here
To keep smilling, I would tell myself that it could be worse
If that’s the way it is then fuck being an artist
I know it seems cliché to say that we’re being picked on
But I’ll say it just because it rhymes

1rst Verse :
If I stay around, people will probably avoid me like the plague
Your interviews gave me too much headaches
The truth is I hate myself
I have to preserve what I have left
And all those people asking for my phone number
Go and tell them that I’m not their role model
Thanks to those who say “Meu-gui we love you”
Despite your ebonic color

Bridge :
I’m leaving for a place where I won’t be the suspect
Then I’ll change name like Cassius Clay
A place where I wouldn’t have to grab the mic’
A place where no one gives a shit about my life

Chorus :
I’m getting out of here, don’t ask me why I left for no reason
Sometimes I can feel my hearth turning cold
It’s sad to say but nothing saddens me any more
Let me get away far from here
To keep smilling, I would tell myself that it could be worse
If that’s the way it is then fuck being an artist
I know it seems cliché to say that we’re being picked on
But I’ll say it just because it rhymes

Outro :
I left without bullshitting, without asking myself
“What will I become ?”
Stop ! No more thinking, Meu-gui
Stop ! No more thinking, do it !
I left without bullshitting, without asking myself
“What will I become ?”
Stop ! No more thinking, Meu-gui
Stop ! No more thinking, do it !

Chorus :
I’m getting out of here, don’t ask me why I left for no reason
Sometimes I can feel my hearth turning cold
It’s sad to say but nothing saddens me any more
Let me get away far from here
To keep smilling, I would tell myself that it could be worse
If that’s the way it is then fuck being an artist
I know it seems cliché to say that we’re being picked on
But I’ll say it just because it rhymes
