Damso - Amnésie (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Dead is her near future
Hell's angels escort her
The #Vie hashtag may come from her
From her neck knotted to the noose
Too young to understand the impact words can have
I don't care what she wants as long as I have what I want
Thirteen years old my first intercourse
Since then my heart has closed the door
As strange as it can seem
After we had fucked I wanted her to disappear
She wanted us to be in love but I didn't want to
I was the last to make the first step
The more years pass the heavier gets the task
I didn't think she was sexy and I wanted her to know
In wickedness, I felt so good
I was far from knowing what her every day was
Some dried tears on her poems
That she wrote me seeking clitoridian pleasure
Hypocrite, I was like an "Allez l'OM"
Shouted by a parisian supporter
The day she committed suicide, I couldn't believe it
The day before, she wanted me to embrace her
But I'm not good as soon as you get far from the sheets
I'm more into the "suck me and focus"
Last message, she talks to the answering machine
"Hello Damso, I want to make my death knell ring"
I didn't pick up, I didn't want to make a mistake
That she'd break my balls, that's what I was afraid of
It was the very last time I was hearing her wail
She was dead and yet, I told her : "See you later"
[Chorus]
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget that I killed her
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget that I killed her
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget that I killed her
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget that I killed her

[Verse 2]
Twenty-three years today, ten years ago already
That I pray for amnesia to take over me
I admit what I did by smoking chunks
Maybe her future will forgive me
The day of her burial, I didn't give a fuck
Strangely, it was like I didn't feel any pain
It's true that I wasn't there to see her corpse
I was rapping while the teacher was holding classes
Young thug really badly tamed
Handcuffed on full time, bruised wrists
Field negro, you toilet shit
Told me the cashier before cashing in
Angry, I gave his chin a straight punch
I took what he said at face value
First hold-up not really on purpose
The son of a bitch had no cash
I confine myself with soft drugs
Bit of whisky in the juice
I forget this life that I took
Her flat ass that I made fun of
Frosted glass lightbulb
Highlights my tatty skin
I remember this like that I took
Her 33B that I played with
I don't make myself in the others' look anymore
I'm not one of them, nor of yours, nor of ours
Hick far from the nice blocks
Hideous remorses, dark retribution
It was the very last time that I felt her pulse
She was dead and yet, I told her : "I love you"
[Chorus]
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget I killed her
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget I killed her
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget I killed her
And since then I smoke to forget
I smoke to forget I killed her
