Entre bien et mal [English translation]

[Chorus - Orelsan and Gringe]

Between good and bad, between good and bad, you have a choice

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Between good and bad, I can earn respect by trimming

Or do the same by cheating because all your life you'll be shared

Between good and bad, you have a choice.

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Either you do the wrong thing, in the end, you're the only one disappointed

Or you're on the right track and you get stepped on, that's good

[Verse 1 - Gringe]

Between bad and good I could rob that van and blow it

Even if it means supporting the comings and goings of the henchman and the noise of his key ring

Between bad and good I can give life or take yours

To not give a fuck or voting, juggling between cat and dog, good or bad

A little bit of weed, a little bit of hash and, and I'll drink my bottle in misery

While my mother breaks her kidneys for a shitty salary

Okay, I could trust their shaved head talk

I prefer to ride my hump with my dark-colored friends

Why would I cheat on my girl when I can put a kid in her belly

And watch it grow from kindergarten?

Between bad and good I chose my side and even if it means stagnating in the dirt

I'd rather work hard than hit the cash register

I could take advantage of your weaknesses, sell you my drug

Or crack and I attack this old lady just to take her money

But I don't forget that no one leaves without paying a bill

Each of my actions triggers a butterfly effect

[Chorus - Orelsan and Gringe]

Between good and bad, between good and bad, you have a choice

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Between good and bad, I can earn respect by trimming

Or do the same by cheating because all your life you'll be shared

Between good and bad, you have a choice.

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Either you do the wrong thing, in the end, you're the only one disappointed

Or you're on the right track and you get stepped on, that's good

[Verse 2 - Orelsan]

I made my choice between good and bad, between white and black

Since I'd rather hang out in bars than do my homework

I don't give a shit if I believe it, I prefer to drink and lose hope

I don't give a damn about bite, I prefer to play the stars

I want to live life to the fullest, you know, the good guys get stepped on

I live in excess, I spend my money even if it means getting into debt

I let myself be controlled by my animal side

I satisfy my impulses, I feel attracted by the flames

I'm caught in the spiral, to do me good I hurt myself

I don't want to move forward anymore, I just want to put a bullet in my head

The moral is, "Fuck you all!"

I would rather hate than love, I would rather destroy than create

I could get an education, but I'd rather jerk off in front of the TV

I could find love, but I'd trade it for any slut

Between Heaven and Earth, it is the Devil who reaches out to me

So I pour myself a last drink, even if it means ending up in the ravine

[Chorus - Orelsan and Gringe]

Between good and bad, between good and bad, you have a choice

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Between good and bad, I can earn respect by trimming

Or do the same by cheating because all your life you'll be shared

Between good and bad, you have a choice.

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Either you do the wrong thing, in the end, you're the only one disappointed

Or you're on the right track and you get stepped on, that's good

[Verse 3: Gringe]

Tell me why live on business and worry

I'm dismantling my high school diploma and studies and I'd make a lot of money

Abusive controls drive me crazy

Then I think it's like home: there are bastards and there are good ones

I get up every morning and I kill myself by the book

Because on the margins of the state, you sleep in jail or in the trauma room

I forget the fire and all my dreams of glory, alone, what would I look like?

I want my parents to grow old and be proud of me

[Verse 4: Orelsan]

I'm ready to sell my soul to the devil, to take a ticket to hell

I won't wait until I fail, I'd rather screw it up

Six feet underground it'll be too late, I want it all right now

Oriented in the wrong direction between a bottle and a piece of weed

If the good ones go first, I plan to live a long time

Have a good time, fuck life with or without consent

Choose your side, I'll never walk the right path

I would never work like a slave because you can lose everything overnight

[Chorus - Orelsan and Gringe]

Between good and bad, between good and bad, you have a choice

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Between good and bad, I can earn respect by trimming

Or do the same by cheating because all your life you'll be shared

Between good and bad, you have a choice.

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Either you do the wrong thing, in the end, you're the only one disappointed

Or you're on the right track and you get stepped on, that's good

Between good and bad, between good and bad, you have a choice

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Between good and bad, I can earn respect by trimming

Or do the same by cheating because all your life you'll be shared

Between good and bad, you have a choice.

Some people walk straight, some people go crazy

Either you do the wrong thing, in the end, you're the only one disappointed

Or you're on the right track and you get stepped on, that's good
