Egérie [English translation]

[Verse 1]

I became the person that the person I dreamed of being would’ve dreamed of being

You know what I mean? I don’t wanna wake up

A luxury brand told me, “We don’t want rap.”

You know how the rich are

I said, “Calm down, I’m not gonna argue.”

The next day, I slept with their spokeswoman

She had a face like Natalie Portman

She said, “I don’t want a relationship either

Tonight, I wanna get away from this disgusting world

Baby, come to my hotel and let’s turn off our phones”

I’m like a pro, no lie

She bit the pillow like a cheesecake

But it felt the same, she grabbed my hands

She said, “Do you love me?” I said, “No, you disappoint me.”

I repeat: I’m a free spirit

You’re not the only pearl in my contacts

Maybe one night, when I’m wasted under the streetlights

I’ll come back to you

Time ticks away, I don’t let myself stagnate

I end up wasted on the Champs-Élysées in my city of champions

I’m like a bubble of champagne

Started from the bottom, I wanna end at the top

Drunken night out, give me their money

The salmon will be pink and the champagne will be rosé

Mac Cain Family in the studio, looking like Woodstock

Five in the Mini Austin, the music takes you to Houston

[Verse 2]

I became the person that the person I dreamed of being would’ve dreamed of being

You know what I mean? I don’t wanna wake up

The same luxury brand told me, “We want your rap.”

You know how the rich are

I said, “No thank you. I’ve built my own brand

And remind me to call your spokeswoman back.”

I didn’t give her the news

It wasn’t natural, we weren’t ourselves

Always going out at night

But I have to keep pushing myself

I have to enjoy the life I live

Before happiness becomes just another pain

Before, I didn’t have the means to dress well

Now, I’m all about haute couture

I saw people drowning, I’ll explain in detail

It’s hard to pay rent when the salary’s low

It’s turned into slitting wrists for some people

That’s the only way to get a slice of the pie

[Bridge]

Look what I'm taking, you can tell I’m high

I feel like I'm in LA

Look at me, I’m made of faults, too

[Verse 3]

Everyone is evil, they’re all in love with money

You talk about friendship but leave as soon as you don’t need me anymore

Even when I’m jet-lagged, I’m still a gentleman … Liar!

It’s hard being young and rejecting evil, my heart

Was exposed to gamma rays, let me get off drugs

I'd be standing, reading in the manga aisle like a kid

“You’re dangerous on stage, Nekfeu. You’re fucking up. You’re crossing the line!”

Better safe than sorry … sorry your mom’s a bitch!

They wanna give me advice, my phone is ringing

They record my concerts instead of living them

[Outro]

Frémont!

You see what image people have of rap?

We’re gonna change that
