Genius Translations
Hanibal - Les règles du jeu (English Translation)
The rules of the game haven't changed
Repentance is more useful than repeating one’s past
I used to ignore everything about the world
Now I'm in my twenties
I know how to read the hidden facets and unmask the hypocrites
In short I am telling you the story of my life
I spit toxic bile
A dog’s life in crazy neighbourhood
Around here, if you die on the street
They post your picture on Snapchat and leave you
So eithеr you fuck them or it's them who will fuck you
This ain't a movie, man
I havе to wake up and unleash the beast that my father made out of me
There is IQ in my head but nothing on my plate
But it's all up to me
What I do with my money every day
It's all a matter of management
But the devil’s whispers keep me from being right
To give a better opinion, better to know the meaning of a story
Admit and see that our slums are prisons
Just like Fleury and Fresnes but in the open
Just like Andy Dufresne I want us to escape
I will fight until my last breath
Leave scarlet colored layers
And the last cartridge will be decisive
Impulsive, explosive, nerves on edge
Are part of my genes
On the beat I show off like tear gas
I should be good even after fasting
Everything comes with cash
We are weak
But we are not part of their sect
So we are suspected
They don't understand anything I'm saying Yet it's in French
The explanation is too abstract [for them] to understand
Let me run away from reality
I took the microphone to calm myself down
I’ve analyzed all the MCs
I’ve got my mates beside me ready to pull guns
No I'm not a criminal
Just another Arab who wants to make a difference
Because the game has been rigged in advance
Your failings are hypocrite
I can't go against the system
I am aware of it
But I can make a mess out of it
