Lyrics

Serpent

[Paroles de "Serpent"]

[Intro]

Allô ?

Ouais, il t'faut quoi ?

Vas-y, j’arrive

[Couplet 1]

Des liasses de billets dans les poches (hey), j'dois mettre à l'abri tous mes proches (hey)

On fait le job sous le porche (hey), recherche le bonheur à la torche (hey)

Avec ta haine, je me torche (hey), j’suis encore si loin de la Porsche (hey)

Ma réalité qui se corse (hey), j'veux brasser comme Michael Kors (piou)

Combien de temps prendra le crime ? (Combien ?) Combien de temps durera la crise ?

J'connais déjà la fin du film, rap jeu ligoté dans l'automobile (boum)

Obligé d'défoncer les portes (ouais), de changer les rapports de force (ouais)

De persévérer dans l'effort et de brasser à raison ou à tort

Quotidiennes sont les prises de risque, cannabis, cocaïne dans la valise

Malheureusement sous l'emprise du vice mais c'est toujours le sommet que l’on vise

Rien n’a changé, j'ai les doigts dans la prise mais jalousie veut me faire la bise (bise)

Anonymat, je me noie dans la tise, pense à mes erreurs et je dramatise

C’est dans ta tte-ch, tte-ch, oui, que je glisse, y a pas de love ni de peace

Noir est le cœur, cœur tellement les relations se fragilisent, passe le, passe le, passe le temps, j'le vois sur le visage de mes parents (ouais)

Aucune empreinte, jamais sans les gants, même dans le sale, il faut être élégant, yo

[Pont]

Kobo, Kobo, capitaine du navire (oui)

Nerfs solides et préparés au pire (pire)

Jamais ne prends le succès pour acquis (no)

Plus tu montes et plus tu payes le prix

[Couplet 2]

Plus tu montes et plus tu paies le prix

Plus tu montes, plus tu perds des amis (hey)

Sans vouloir, tu t'éloignes de ta famille (hey), de la dépression, tu n'es pas à l’abri (no)

C'est à mes dépens que je l'ai appris (oui), attiré par la mort et par le vide (oui)

Peu de bonheur sur les terres arides (no), c'est toujours à la bonne heure que j'arrive (tou-tou)

Je sais qu'la loyauté a des limites, je l'ai vu dans les moments difficiles (ouais)

Comment définis-tu la réussite ? Avoir les poches qui débordent de fric ?

Signer des autographes à quelques flics ? Légaliser, t'éloigner du trafic ?

Villa sur bord de mer en Afrique ? Vie de rêve pour toi et ton équipe ?

Mais la vérité, c'est qu'on atteint très souvent le sommet en solo

J'ai fumé mes rêves d'enfance, innocence évadée au galop

Rien n'a changé, toujours en train d'siroter ma teille au goulot

Pas pour le plaisir mais pour l'inspiration, j'suis toujours au boulot

Parti de, parti de rien, parti de, parti de loin, j'ai mendié l'hospitalité sur mon chemin, un projet sans lendemain

J'ai vu les dos se tourner quand je manquais de pain, oui, quand je manquais de pain

Les trahisons et les coups bas sont venus des miens, oui, ils sont venus des miens

Ba-ba-ba-bang

[Outro]

Pouh pouh pouh

Pouh pouh pouh
