Dalso sings, ‘I write these lines behind Cartier shades, I’ve roamed the block way too much,’ capturing the life of someone who’s seen it all. The lyrics talk about trust, betrayal, and the grind of street life. The poet uses phrases like ‘benga life’ and ‘ngatie turned bad’ to describe the highs and lows of their world.
C’est le benga qui t’animeIt’s the ‘benga’ vibe that drives you,
Fallait pas toucher on t’a ditwe told you not to touch it.
C’est le benga qui t’a euIt’s the ‘benga’ life that caught you,
Fallait pas toucher on t’a ditwe told you not to touch it.
Tu sais que j’peux pas raterYou know I can’t miss my shot,
Moi j’connais mon Karaté (tche tche tche)I know my ‘karate’ moves (tche tche tche).
Me donne pas ton coeur babyDon’t give me your heart, baby,
Tu sais que j’peux pas rateryou know I can’t miss.
Elle me dit que moi j’suis impoliShe tells me I’m being rude,
J’arrive j’suis sapé en Fendiwhen I pull up dressed head to toe in Fendi.
Eh ma eh ma eh ma ma CinderellaOh my, oh my, oh my Cinderella,
Dis-moi mais comment on fait igotell me, how do we handle this, ‘igo’?
J’écris j’suis sous lunette CartierI write these lines behind Cartier shades,

Pourtant toi t’étais mon ngatieeven though you used to be my ‘ngatie’.
