Nekfeu - Les étoiles vagabondes (English Translation) lyrics

[Intro]
When we met in Tokyo last time you looked sad, is everything fine?

[Verse]
I want to live abroad; all my life I have moved
I lived in the suburbs, I lived in Paris itself
I threw my phone away so that I wouldn't be disturbed
So don’t come and ask me, send your requests by e-mail
I feel like I'm not being listened to
When things go wrong, I eat like a madman
And lately, I've been gaining a lot of weight
It’s depressing when you're a pacifist
So, I haven't followed the news for a long time
I hated success but it apparently wasn't enough
And if I were one hundred percent myself, I wouldn't even make that movie
And I'll probably make other mistakes; I do not care about money
But I don't want others to make cash off me
So I manage my company like an entrepreneur
And I'm interested in the species as an anthropologist
It’s hard to live off your passion before it’s solid and profitable
You feel like you've messed up your parents and you’re under pressure
Yeah, my future wife will walk with
A loner by her side instead of a loner on her finger
I erased the tracks that talked about you
Isolated on a perch, I went down through the roofs
With my eyes fixed on the void, I want to be sucked into it
I quickly enjoy the pain and I thank you for inspiring me
The only way to own you is to put up paintings
For the pigments, I mixed your tears and star dust
I was patient, gathering each eyelash that came off
When you were crying, to make it the prettiest brush of all
We found ourselves, diving into black holes
It's disturbing; if it's only to bleed, what's the point of being open?
I didn’t know how to love until you taught me again
I hate white people's rap, I like rap where you don't put anything after
The pigeons are waiting for me with an insistent look
Unwanted, but who cares about their existence?
Upstairs, I feel like them, we don't need their help
Down below, less and less resistance and racists dance
We should get moving, sometimes the shower's cold
Push the beasts away, you need a touch of the content before they touch your shapes
The teachers wanted us to study, and they were right
But little credit is given to the truth when it comes out of the mouths of the false ones
Yeah, it's unfortunate
But in front of the sheet, I am the king
MC, no need to cheat when art fulfills your dreams
Even if we want to be rich like literary Arabic
If there's a chance, I take it; if there's a lesson, I learn it
I was able to cross the borders but not quite like a young Afghan
A lil' Arab kid who does stupid things, he's a thug for France
A lil' black kid is the same, but when it's a lil' white kid, it's just "a rascal"
In the midst of the turmoil, the backs will turn
You get your nerves down on pot, but now everything goes back up
The Earth, it's not all round, and the rappers
They're not wholesalers, they go get their sh*t like everyone else
You lie in the sound, the street tracks you; and I, in the background, am more like peace
Maybe even utopian, but I can smell it, this f*cking p*ss
The will to fly away when you see the news
Now you're lost in the Milky Way
The kids have to deal with their parents' adultery, the problems are catapulted
That's why you smell weed from your hair to your air bubble
I'm waiting for my brother on the righteous path, he's stuck in traffic
If I had to catch thugs, I'd run after a couple of cops
My mother brought to life such an unbalanced human being
I'd have to be sure I am one before I ask, "Who are the real people?"
When you live in the slum, all you have left is your trickery
This one is for little romanian kids like Darius
Before, I wanted Nikes, the system makes us stupid
I haven't had a big head since the Golden Eye days
I need Paris as a Côte & Match but when I walk
I have to hide, I wear the hood like a chainmail
Has rap saved me?

[Outro]
All of the objects that compose the universe, the galaxies, the clusters of dust, the stars, are inexorably moving away from each other... like us
