Une putain d'époque mon pote, ici y faut des putains d'dorseaux
Un putain d'morceau et tous les blocs ont leurs glocks sous les doudounes
Poc-poc Boulogne mon putain d'dôme shouf
Un putain d'homme singe
Un putain d'gun et un chauve, un putain d'oinj
Enlève ta putain d'lingerie
Venu pour tout baiser et les keuchs c'est pas un euj
Moi je suis pas inscrit à leur putain d'électorat
Mon putain d'quartier a une balle dans le thorax
C'est c'que t'auras sans ma putain d'weed
J'aurai pas le style que t'entends
Tricher pour être riche avant 30 piges
Tonton écoute mon herbe, mes nerfs et mon son, putain d'merde
9.2 moi j'kick, relâche ma haine chienne
Putain d'crew cous' douze putains d'rounds
Cent moins huit, zoo you know mon putain d'92
Alors j'demande un temps mort
Parce qu'on s'fait niquer au score
Un flow d'porc j'suis là pour ouvrir d'autres portes

Rien n'a changé à part l'change
J'demande un temps mort
C'est malheureux je reviens c'est dangereux
Écoute, écoute ça
Écoute un peu ma banlieue
Temps mort, temps mort
Encore nous, c'est dangereux

Rien n'a changé à part l'change
J'demande un temps mort
C'est malheureux je reviens c'est dangereux
Écoute, écoute ça
Écoute un peu ma banlieue
Temps mort, temps mort
Encore nous, c'est dangereux
