Laisse tomber [English translation]

[Verse 1: Insolent]

Heart in hand, I advance uncovered

Without a diploma, I am the monkey among the cutlery

I'm walking on shards of glass, happiness is temporary

You can make yourself pass AIDS by a nurse

I spit my truth, to force them to watch

I ask myself if life has merit for us

That's applause, we will finish everything underground

More wrinkled than Johnny Hallyday

Burnt, I believe it's time to roll the dice

To swallow his tongue and accept silence this summer

You know about my city: we bullshit ourselves

Apart from religion, my generation isn't a parody

[Refrain: Dr. Beriz]

They are speaking to me, but I am somewhere else

Far from this world, where nothing is left

Forget it, forget it

They take love to the fire*1

Convinced that there's no hurry

Forget it, forget it

[Chorus: Maître Gims] [x2]

Spotlights on the road around the town

Too slow, in the night

I have already fled

[Verse 2: Dr. Beriz]

Do you know that the people recognise you when you have money?

They speak of you, they smile, thinking strongly: "That pays greatly"

Is it me or the 500 dollar bill which soothes you?

Question crazy and idiots reply: "I'm not worth the time"

Do you know that outside there's gore?

You must stay clean

Without a roof, or a friend

That lives in the time, which forces them to the worms and makes your pockets (?)

Fate has placed bumps for me, emptying my pockets, displayed in front of those close to me

[Bridge 1: Insolent]

I saw in the obscurity of complete darkness

The truth haunts me, but I don't study it

I try to sleep on my guard

Forget about my habits and block myself

[Refrain: Dr. Beriz]

[Chorus: Maître Gims] [x2]

[Bridge 2: Maître Gims]

Confused by you speaking to me, I don't reply

But I am sure that somewhere

"Trust yourself" I told you from the start

But you got away from me

"Trust yourself" I told you from the start

But you got away from me

Confused by me speaking to you, you don't respond

But I am sure that somewhere

[Refrain: Dr. Beriz]

[Chorus: Maître Gims] [x2]

1. *love can destroy people like a weapon.
