NAZA – Joli Bébé ft NISKA (English lyrics)
Note : just 3 months after it’s release, it was announced that the song was certified diamond according to France’s SNEP, accumulating a total of 50 000 000 streams.
In an interview for Melty, Naza spoke about his collaboration with NISKA :
“I went to Marrakech because he lives there. He welcomed me well, it was cheerful but we had work to do. We’re trying to come up with the hook and we can’t find it, then we say to ourselves : “let’s get out of here, we’ll try to find the chorus tommorow”. We started rolling and I make him listen to tracks from my album. And “Jolie Bébé” comes on and he tells me : “Wesh, that’s insane”.
His verse was incredible, I told him : “respect, my bro”. We started partying the two of us, we started dancing. Niska is a perfectionnist. Very professional !”
1st verse (Naza) :
I’ll be home late
I’m not too far away : down on the bloc
Our feelings are doomed
I’m selling hash on the bloc
There’s no Swallows around here, it’s the bullets that are whistling
Forgive me my beauty, I’ll take you far away from here
Baby, you’re killing us, I can her the bullets whistling
Forgive me my beauty, I’ll take you far away from here
Bridge 1 (Naza) :
I hang out at night, with glove on
I feel threatened
I like your advices
You’re my sweetheart
Chorus (Naza & Niska) :
Pretty baby, you make me weak, I would give you my heart with no problems (X2)
(I’ll give it to you anyways, you’re the only one in my thoughts)
I feel like I’m stuck, my past is catching up to me, tell me who’s fault is it ? (You’re the only one in my thoughts)
You didn’t give up on me, you’ll be the mother of my kids, you’re not like all the others
2nd verse (Niska) :
Coco Chanel, Louis Vuitton, I arrive like a coup d’etat
I have to make money everyday, for you
I’m going to have to love you while being careful, you cheat on me, I become an assassin
Doggy style, blow jobs, rotation, it’s going to end up in child suport
She criticizes my life style, calls me a criminal
When she goes out on saturdays, I feel like I’m being deprived of her
I’m into some shady business, that’s in my veins
I’m into some shady business, I’m into some shady business
Bridge 2 (Niska) :
I’m in the ghetto, baby, you always knew it
I told you that we wouldn’t do things half way
I’m in the ghetto, baby, things aren’t the way they were
Chorus (Naza & Niska) :
Pretty baby, you make me weak, I would give you my heart with no problems (X2)
(I’ll give it to you anyways, you’re the only one in my thoughts)
I feel like I’m stuck, my past is catching up to me, tell me who’s fault is it ? (You’re the only one in my thoughts)
You didn’t give up on me, you’ll be the mother of my kids, you’re not like all the others
Outro (Niska & Naza) :
I’m in the ghetto baby, I would give you my heart, my heart, my heart (X2)
I would give you my heart, my heart, my heart (X2)
