These Struggles Make You StrongerThese struggles make you stronger,
But You Can’t Break NowBut you can’t break now.
When You Can’t Take It Much LongerWhen you can’t take it much longer,
Is When You Must Stay DownThat’s when you’ve got to stay down.
When You Must Stay DownWhen you’ve got to stay down,
And You Must Stay DownAnd you’ve got to stay down.
J’regarde Le Match Dans Ma Petite PrisonI’m watching the match in my little prison,
J’ai L’iptv Sur La TélévisionI’ve got IPTV on the television.
Wesh Alors Au Stade T’as Les FrissonsHey there, you get the chills at the stadium,
Tu Connais D&p L’écussonYou know the D&P badge.
J’suis Cramé Comme La Passat J’fais Des Toff Sur L’a7I’m burnt out like the Passat, taking photos on the A7,
La Moto Elle Est À Sec Tu Lèves Comme Dans Gta 5The bike’s running on empty, you’re popping wheelies like in GTA 5.
La Vie Est Vraiment Simple On S’rend Fout À La CompliquerLife is really simple, we’re just fools for making it complicated,
Ça Pense Pas À Faire La Bise Ça Pense Cash À RépliquerThey don’t think about a friendly greeting, they only think about hitting back.
On Fera Comme Si Rien Je VoyaisI’ll act like I didn’t see a thing,
Au Fond J’me Dirais “ça Va”Deep down, I’ll tell myself “it’s okay.”
Comme Si Rien J’entendaisLike I didn’t hear anything,
On Fera Comme Si On Se Connaissait PasWe’ll act like we never knew each other.
These Struggles Make You StrongerThese struggles make you stronger,
But You Can’t Break NowBut you can’t break now.
When You Can’t Take It Much LongerWhen you can’t take it much longer,
Is When You Must Stay DownThat’s when you’ve got to stay down.
When You Must Stay DownWhen you’ve got to stay down,
And You Must Stay DownAnd you’ve got to stay down.
Faut Qu’je Profite De Ma VieI’ve got to enjoy my life,

Ride With The Strap I Ain’t Never Felt Safe (Oh No)I ride with a ‘stra#’ and I’ve never felt safe,
’cause I Was Raised Like That (Yeah)Because I was raised that way.
Got A Bunch Of Killers On The Horizon In The Cage (Oh No)I’ve got a bunch of ‘k!llers’ on the horizon in the cage,
And I Ain’t Never Going Back (Yeah)And I’m never going back.

But Not That FastsBut not that fast.
Gotta Find My Way In This Life And No Presh (Oh Yeah)I’ve got to find my way in this life without the pressure,
We Get Dumped Like TrashWe get tossed out like trash.
Oh Let Go Got An Attitude Yeah We’re The Best ThoughOh let go, we’ve got an attitude, but we’re the best though,
Walk Around And Get Spread Like PestoWalking around and getting spread like pesto.
And You All Know We Don’t Take No Mess ThoughAnd you all know we don’t take any mess though,
Steppin’ Out To The Club No Dress CodeStepping out to the club with no dress code.
A Long Way From That Freezing PrisonIt’s a long way from that freezing prison,
Every Day Is Killing SeasonEvery day is ‘k!lling’ season.
And Damn Don’t Need No ReasonAnd damn, I don’t need a reason,
No Lord I Don’t Need That EitherNo Lord, I don’t need that either.
On Sera Dans Des Mauvais ÉtatsWe’ll be in a bad way,
Vous M’avez Fait Serrer Les GarsYou guys made me lose my cool.
Il Me Restait Un Peu De JoieI had a little joy left,
Un Peu De Peine Un Peu De Haine Un Peu De ToutA little pain, a little hate, a little bit of everything.
Est-ce Que Je Peux Compter Sur ToiCan I count on you,
Si Y A Un Vrai ProblèmeIf there’s a real problem?
Et Quand Y A Un Peu De FlouAnd when things get a bit blurry,
Et Quand Y A Un Peu De FlouzeAnd when there’s a bit of ‘flouze’ (‘cash’).
Tu M’avais Dit “moi C’est D&p À Vie”You told me, “I’m D&P for life,”
Tu M’avais Dit “pour Toi J’donnerai Ma Vie”You told me, “I’d give my life for you.”
Tu M’avais Dit Que Tu Me Laisseras JamaisYou told me that you’d never leave me,
Au Final Tu As Fini Par Tourner Ta VesteIn the end, you ended up turning your back.
On Fera Comme Si Rien Je VoyaisI’ll act like I didn’t see a thing,
Au Fond J’me Dirais “ça Va”Deep down, I’ll tell myself “it’s okay.”
Comme Si Rien J’entendaisLike I didn’t hear anything,
On Fera Comme Si On Se Connaissait PasWe’ll act like we never knew each other.
These Struggles Make You StrongerThese struggles make you stronger,

Et S’tu Veux Mon Avis Moi J’donnerai Plus Mon AvisAnd if you want my opinion, I won’t give it anymore.
Je Navigue Entre L’amour Et La HaineI’m navigating between love and hate,
Ils Étaient Avec Moi J’me Retrouve Seul Dans L’arèneThey were with me, but now I’m alone in the arena.
Ma Femme C’est Ma Vie Ouais Ma Mère C’est Ma ReineMy wife is my life, yeah, my mother is my queen.
On M’a Appris À Rien Dire De Ma Vie C’est La RègleI was taught to say nothing about my life, that’s the rule.
J’suis Saoulé De Tout J’suis Dégoûté De VousI’m fed up with everything, I’m disgusted by you all,

Après Devant Ça Fait Les FauxThen in person, they act fake.
