NISKA – Bâtiment (English lyrics)
Intro :
They looked down on me, that’s the fucking truth, gang
Chorus :
Gang, I’m lighting my weed up in the building (and I’m smoking my dope)
Don’t try to act tough, you’re gonna get nicely sprayed up (and you’re gonna die)
You won’t fool me, you can’t smooth talk me (smooth talk)
For the kids, I’m gonna insult you politely (counia manmaw)
And if ends up the wrong way (gang)
If you go to the cops, you better not say that it’s me (you better never say my name)
War is just a small detail (gang)
If we ever come at you, we’ll kill the witnesses (it’s complicated in all cases)
Bridge (2X) :
They looked down on me, that’s the fucking truth
1st verse :
Gang, we’re doing our business in the building (in the building, gang)
We understood the system very quickly (yeah, quickly)
After rap, we’ll maybe go to paradise if we repent (hein)
But for the time being, we’re committing sins (yes), you would think that we’re cursed
Gang, we lost to much time (nah), people bullshit us too many times
From being taken for suckers, we end up understanding their vice (vice)
Sometimes when I smoke, I think back on her ass
I take my car and I go see her
Chorus :
Gang, I’m lighting my weed up in the building (and I’m smoking my dope)
Don’t try to act tough, you’re gonna get nicely sprayed up (and you’re gonna die)
You won’t fool me, you can’t smooth talk me (smooth talk)
For the kids, I’m gonna insult you politely (counia manmaw)
And if ends up the wrong way (gang)
If you go to the cops, you better not say that it’s me (you better never say my name)
War is just a small detail (gang)
If we ever come at you, we’ll kill the witnesses (it’s complicated in all cases)
2nd verse :
I love it when I make love to her, when I can feel her under my biceps
I know rappers, most of them are clowns
I just got out of police custody, my mother is gonna scold me
I’m on the wrong path, I’m not well seen, you gotta keep away from me
Honey I promise, tomorrow I’ll stop selling drugs (mouvementé)
My gat sleeps near the money down in the cave (it’s in a safe)
No matter how much they come at me, I’ve got my alibi (it’s a must)
I need to change surrounding move to Namibie (Namibie)
I can’t change the way things are, things are shitty in the streets and there’s nothing to do (there’s nothing to do)
Initially we were poor, today my bedroom has a sea front view (I’ve got a sea front view)
I hid the ski mask, I took out a shirt, I’m doing everything to please her (oh my god)
I took out the condom too early, she was no longer in the mood to do it (oh what a bitch)
Chorus :
Gang, I’m lighting my weed up in the building (and I’m smoking my dope)
Don’t try to act tough, you’re gonna get nicely sprayed up (and you’re gonna die)
You won’t fool me, you can’t smooth talk me (smooth talk)
For the kids, I’m gonna insult you politely (counia manmaw)
And if ends up the wrong way (gang)
If you go to the cops, you better not say that it’s me (you better never say my name)
War is just a small detail (gang)
If we ever come at you, we’ll kill the witnesses (it’s complicated in all cases)
Bridge (X4) :
They looked down on me, that’s the fucking truth
Chorus :
Gang, I’m lighting my weed up in the building (and I’m smoking my dope)
Don’t try to act tough, you’re gonna get nicely sprayed up (and you’re gonna die)
You won’t fool me, you can’t smooth talk me (smooth talk)
For the kids, I’m gonna insult you politely (counia manmaw)
And if ends up the wrong way (gang)
If you go to the cops, you better not say that it’s me (you better never say my name)
War is just a small detail (gang)
If we ever come at you, we’ll kill the witnesses (it’s complicated in all cases)
Outro :
What’s going on ? I’m seeing myself everywhere
I’m not turning my back on the projects, they made me who I am, I owe everything to them
We did (??) and today, we’re crushing everything
We don’t have the same paycheck, I outclass all of them
