One evening with a full moon, my phone doesn't ring

I go out, timal, just to take a few steps

A freezing cold slaps me, even my bones

Everyone has let me down, no one to lift me up

I go towards my old neighborhood and I freeze

The walls have aged, the old ones are older

And the little ones head towards the scum

I whistle, he doesn't live here anymore

Expelled from sweet France, maybe for a dirty affair

Or a dirty trick from a snitch

I try at my old partner's place

He's gone on vacation, but in the police van

And his older brother rests with the eternal

Tears come to my eyes

But what is that compared to their mother

Who mourns all alone, nothing

So that's life

Life is like that

We don't get everything we want, my man

Life is like that

When you come, the other one leaves

Life is like that

We don't get everything we want, my man

Life is like that

When you come, the other one leaves

It's not life, it's sh*t

That's what the guys stuck in the cage say

Smoking weed

Surrounded by reinforced concrete on the asphalt

With tear gas, there's not much action

Not many pythons, a lot of pit bulls, so they're happy

The ducks when it's shooting like in

Heat for money or coke

No suspense, Hitchcock style

The blue birds don't care

They even flirt with our chicks

These idiots even think they're bookmakers

With a glance, they can tell you who's a dealer

It's not a joke, they make themselves out to be criminals

Children who work for bosses who have the right to kick

Back, they pocket three-quarters of the cash

And don't show up at funerals

Baby scum, pregnant girls

The fetus already an orphan, a dog's life in a p*ssy

The umbilical cord, a rope, what to do, it's hell

But they grow up, f*ck life like a novice of vice

Peace and respect to the scarla, the scarlettes

To our fathers, our mothers, to all those we've lost

All our fallen angels

Life is like that

We don't get everything we want, my man

When you come the other leaves

Life is like that

We don't have everything we want my boy

Life is like that

When you come the other leaves

Since that's life, I'm going home

I watch my toddler sleep soundly

and I think of all the rats who tell me that they really love me

But when I'll be K.O. huh

When I'll be in dog no more cash no more checks

I will sing in the metro, it's hot

Every time I see my face in a mirror

I'll smash her ashamed of my life failure

A fall a shock like on an electric chair

Everyone chooses their challenge

I can't change no chance only to sing

My sorrow lights a candle

Pray for my punishment tighten your rosary

Goat-footed demons want to chamber me

Like the judges whisper sneer when they got a handcuff

Taken with his torch

Tell him stop your gibberish

sadly a new chapter falls

From the construction site to the countryside I went

But the cork just pops

My life smells too much like coal

I'm too exposed

Life is like that

We don't have everything we want my boy

Life is like that

When you come the other leaves

Life is like that

We don't have everything we want my boy

Life is like that

When you come the other leaves

Yeah that's how life is

Granny chocolate, you left without me being able to kiss you

Up there Pedro it's you my nigga

Look at me I think of you

Yeah that's shit and you know it

Today you can be well, rich be happy

Have music videos and the next day you're nothing

We spit in your face

Life is like that life is worth nothing

And nothing beats life

It was my father who told me

Yeah listen to me life is like that

There are girls who work hard and raise their kids on their own

And I respect them from the bottom of my heart

And other storks that drop them off and leave

It's life adapt yeah and dominate it
