À la vibe et Mektoub [English translation]

you won't find me on my phone, nor on my email box

even less on some forums posting a bunch of crap

you will never see me in nightclubs and private parties

I've never been in your VIP section bastard

But you can find me in my neighborhood with my brothers

or wandering with my sistas hacking up the system

Or on the road, with those for whom I have great respect

Or being spyed by the government, or in illegal meetings

You'll find me on my hammock somewhere in zion

In the Palenque jungle or simply on my

block

"Wardog rap", where only the streets raises you

or maybe in a political squat doing

"récup"

all these places where no one gives a fuck i'm Keny Arkana

In the south of France, on the ways of Magdala

In a cave, a river, in the Cathar country, under the

stars, this one is for my people who know where i can be found

Mektoub set of mind, there will be no one on the phone

I'm always where the vibe leads me, Babylon is not my life no!

You'll find me in these forgotten places

always following the signs, cuz I was born under a shooting star

unreachable

unreachable

unreachable

unreachable

You won't find me on radioshows saying any random

stuff

Nor on the TV with all the showbiz people

Or at any music awards ceremony nor even those for rap

I'm not in the race, but in my corner far from fashion victims and their hype

you'll rather find me with my bros in the "Cours"

what's up guys? or at "la Plaine" in mode "come on let's move!"

Or just somewhere with my crew, under the vibe that we have, hitchhiking in a town or in a car blowing them watts. Thousands of ways to take my soul away from wearing out. With a lot of people or on my own somewhere in South America.

With some chamans, or at the heart of Pacha Mama

In the vibes in La Amma, or waking up the masses

everybody stand up! just kicking a fuss on the stage

with Truk and the brothers, mic in the hand it comes from Marseille! find me in most random places, on the side of abandonned people,

or running away under the stars with the familly...

Mektoub set of mind, there will be no one on the phone

I'm always where the vibe leads me, Babylon is not my life no!

You'll find me in these forgotten places

always following the signs, cuz I was born under a shooting star

unreachable

unreachable

'I don't give a fuck" mentality to the vibe and mektoub

unreachable

unreachable

I'm taking off, byebye y'all, i'm taking off

I go get fresh air elsewhere

'Cause I can't walk in pace

you don't get it, i don't care

Find me in these lands, far from babylon, insolent

resisting the Empire, or avoiding any cop

here time is running out, no time to let them bring us

down

to let our flame fade away ou forget who we are? no fucking way

see tension has been rising up, we've been missing liberty

daughter of the wind since I was a child and since a cell was waiting for me. I decided not to crawl live my life the way I wanted this being said I'll walk my way,

I'm just unable to stand still, the daily grind stresses me out

here comes the insolent, facing the empire, or avoiding all its

cops

here time is running out, no time to let them bring us

down

forget who we really are? no fucking way

see tension has been rising up, we've been missing liberty

daughter of the wind since I was a child and since a cell was waiting for me. I decided not to crawl

live my life the way I wanted this being said I'll walk my way, I'm just unable to stand still
