About This Track

YL and Ninho navigate the weight of survival and loss across 'Sicario', a track that measures ambition against the cost of the streets. YL opens with a refusal to broadcast his pain, yet the verses that follow detail a life shaped by pursuit and hardship, where loyalty and ruthlessness blur together. The production sits heavy, giving space to the confessional tone that runs through both rappers' contributions. Ninho's verse shifts the frame toward the mechanics of that survival, tracing a path from small-time dealing to larger operations, always one step ahead of law enforcement. The refrain circles back to a central tension: the loss that accumulates even as money and status accrue. 'Sicario' treats its subject matter with the directness of lived experience rather than posture, two voices speaking from the same world but at different points within it.

"Sicario" is a track by YL, from the album Confidences, released 23rd February 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Sicario

[Paroles de "Sicario" ft. Ninho]

[Couplet 1 : YL]

Ouais, bébé, j'raconte pas mes malheurs

Prise en chasse et galères mais j'te promets, j'rappelle t'à l'heure

Moi, c'est la street qui m'a fait et qui va m'faire, bloqué dans l'barrio

J'peux en estimer la valeur comme un putain d'sicario

Pris au piège, on compte pas parler, rebeu, c'est la conquête de Palerme

Au fond du cabaret, j'entends son nom, je claque un salaire

J'suis comme perdu devant eux, perturbé, mon Dieu

Non, y a plus de vertu dans mon cœur, perdu, j'me mets bleu

Négro, puissantes sont mes colères, puissants sont mes collègues

Vas-y, raconte-moi tes galères, moi, c'est prise en chasse et mal-être

[Refrain : Ninho & YL]

J'ai trop perdu, maman l'sait

J'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer, j'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer

Hanani, tu veux m'arroser

Le mauvais œil, ils nous l'ont jeté, j'l'ai ramassé, eh, eh

Parle pas du biff qu'on a ramassé

J'ai trop perdu, maman l'sait

J'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer, j'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer

Hanani, tu veux m'arroser

Regarde tout l'3ain qu'on a ramassé, j'en ai assez, eh, eh

Parle pas du biff qu'on a ramassé

[Couplet 2 : Ninho]

Tu t'rappelles de l'époque où ça tenais le sac aux mez' ? J'ai quitté la stratosphère

Y a toujours deux-trois commères, au balcon du deuxième, elle parle, on lui baise sa mère

Faudra courir pour le seille-o, chargé comme Zahia, j'prenais l'bus

Des kilos, des "allô ?", quelques échos, forcément, j'ai cassé la puce

Traqué par la BAC de nuit, mignon comme un Bogdanov

Éviter la case Fleury, éviter la case Fleury, ouais, chacun doit rouler sa bosse

Uzi garé sous com-com et la porte pète lundi, ouais, la porte pète lundi

Et dans l'équipe, pas d'pookie, ils pourront pas coffrer l'boss

Et quand j'avais b'soin d'la force, tu m'en as pas donné, aujourd'hui, c'est moi qui l'ai

J'ai fait couler l'makila, ouais, le mac est là, j'vais les baiser toute la matinée

Pris en chasse, tard la night, l'Enfer ou l'paradise ?

Laisse-moi compter mes liasses pour retrouver mon smile

Pour la guerre, faut des armes, pour des armes, faut du biff, pour du biff, on t'agresse

Donc on prendra des risques, d'effectuer des peines, tellement grosses que nos mères vont pleurer des rivières

Mais c'est pas ça la vida, ouais, c'est pas ça la vida

Rouler comme des fous sur le périphérique et mourir comme la princesse Diana, ouais, la princesse Diana

[Pont : YL]

Non, c'est pas ça la vida, ouais, c'est pas ça la vie, gars

Sur la A7, j'ai le coffre chargé comme un rital, la mort est inévitable

Ouais

[Refrain : Ninho & YL]

J'ai trop perdu, maman l'sait

J'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer, j'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer

Hanani, tu veux m'arroser

Le mauvais œil ils nous l'ont jeté, j'l'ai ramassé, eh, eh

Parle pas du biff qu'on a ramassé

J'ai trop perdu, maman l'sait

J'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer, j'suis ton ami quand faut t'avancer

Hanani, tu veux m'arroser

Regarde tout l'3ain qu'on a ramassé, j'en ai assez, eh, eh

Parle pas du biff qu'on a ramassé
