About This Track

'404' by 404Billy is a 2018 hip-hop/rap track from the album 'Hostile'. The lyrics move through a grim, surreal register, with images of death and morbid tableaux, alongside questions about faith and the hope of a second life. There’s a bitter, almost flippant edge to the way it frames “art” as something so extravagant that even the Mona Lisa can’t help but react, turning tragedy into black comedy.

"404" is a track by 404Billy, from the album Hostile, released 19th April 2018. The track is 2:43 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

404

Il en faut peu pour fumer un homme
Mort de l'intérieur, j'confonds l'enfer et l'funérarium
Paysage morose
Au fond d'moi, j'aimerais faire l'aumône
Du sang, des morts, des mômes, des gnomes
Tu crois en Dieu? Prie pour une seconde vie
Quand tu dis qu'tu fais de l'art, même la Joconde rit
23 piges, j'écris mieux que Baudelaire
J'me noie dans l'eau de mer, il m'faut de l'air
Le rap a beau me plaire, les codes se perdent

J'viens dans leur bureau, négro, j'refuse leur offre de merde
Devant ton cadavre tout blanc, j'allume un putain d'cierge
Éjectable est le putain d'siège
La 'sère s'ressent sur mes bulletins d'paye
Hé merde, han
L'oseille, l'argent, faut aller où y a
À part 404, j'n'ai pas d'autres khoyas, alléluia
Dans la vallée d'la mort, j'suis plongé dans mes songes
Refais une blague raciste, ton cul sera noir de monde
Cruel vécu, me demande pas pourquoi j'suis aussi sombre

Mercenaire, j'm'en fous d'être roi, j'suis plutôt l'homme de l'ombre
J'ai leur sang sur mes phalanges, tu trouves ça étrange?
Dans mon monde, plus de couleurs, le noir est l'nouveau orange
Faire tomber les démange car mon franc-parler les dérange
Rien ne s'arrange, les douleurs s'mélangent
J'ai appris à rapper en traînant dans la rue
J'ai connu mon père au parlu, il n'est pas souvent réapparu
L'amour rend pas aveugle, la mère de mes gosses m'a rendu la vue
J't'écoute rapper, sentiment d'déjà vu
À la fin d'la guerre, j'y laisserai des plumes mais j'aurai pris mes thunes

Tout c'que j'fais, j'assume, mes choix, mes courtes études
J'suis un génie, frotte la lampe, fais tes trois vœux
Que du silence, que d'la haine, jamais d'aveux
Un peu d'honneur et d'argent, j'serai aze'
J'suis pas d'ici, à la Terre j'fais mes adieux, hey

Hey, la street-crédibilité, j'm'en bats les couilles
J'l'ai déjà en moi, en cas d'ennui, personne se mouille
Par intérêt, les gens se couvrent
Noient leur tristesse dans pack de 12
Te trahissent pour chatte de zouz'
J'cours derrière le flouze

Tu vas souffrir si j't'épouse, hey
Cette vie d'routine pue la lose
Peu d'sentiments face aux hommes, intransigeant face aux normes
Y a que d'la haine dans mes larmes, que du savoir dans mes armes
Le but n'est plus loin, j'le sens, on va faire couler du sang
Innocent comme adolescent, je ne parle qu'à bon escient

Dose
