[Laylow - VOIR LE MONDE BRÛLER/ English Translation]
[Intro]
You who's out all night, you who's looking for his limits
When you hear this vibe, you forget everything, you wanna let yourself live
Let, let live
You mix the dope and alcohol
Then, there it is, everything crumbles away, spin off the road
You don't give a fuck about their codes
You, you just want to burn the world with your friends
[Chorus]
You mix the dope and alcohol
Then, there it is, everything crumbles away, spin off the road
You don't give a fuck about their codes
You, you just want to burn the world with your friends
[Verse 1]
It was the holidays, you had a lot of hash
You evеn had a brother who leased thе brand new S-Line
He told you: "Hey come tonight, we're on some real shit
Let's go hit the city, let's live, let's go off the rails"
Outside at night, something like eleven o'clock
Of course, you're thrilled and of course, you had nothing to do
So you take your phone, you look in your contacts
You look for two-three chicks of easy virtue, who could call you back
[Interlude 1: Dialogue & phone calls]
- Friend 1: Call her
- Laylow: Yeah, alright, I'm calling, I'm calling
- Friend 2: Yeah, this chick is so classy
- Girl: Hello?
- Laylow: Yeah, how are you?
- Girl: Yeah, who is it?
- Laylow: It's Jey
- Girl: Ah, yeah, how are you doing?
- Laylow: Good, I'm chilling. I'm with **** and ****, I wanted to know if we could come to your place?
- Girl: Hmm, pff, hmm, it's complicated
- Laylow: Stop, I hear lots of noises in the background
- Girl: Yeah, but like, it's not really the right time
- Friend 1: Tell her "We' comin'"
- Laylow: Y'know what? We're coming
- Girl: No, but there's no point
- Laylow: Open the door, I'm downstairs
[Verse 2]
Ten minutes later, you were already downstairs
You were hearing noise but the noise wasn't hearing you
With your right hand, you wrecked the intercom button (Open up, fuck)
With you left hand, you're wrecking yourself with the rum bottle
And you stayed drunk, pacing back and forth around the door, waiting for it to open
Angry at the entire world, feeling like it it contradicts yourself
Like it never understood you, you were waiting for a sign, a way to let off steam
He appeared as a normal guy in raincoat
He wasn't out of the ordinary, it wasn't his fault but you told him
[Interlude 2 : Multiple dialogue]
- Laylow: Hey you there!
- Victim: What, me?
- Friend 1: He's preening
- Laylow : You were at ****'s party
- Friend 2: Of course he was there
- Victim: But I don't even know you!
- Laylow : Here, motherfucker! Take that
- Victim: Uh, uh, you don't even know wh-
- Friend 2: Lil fucker
- Girl: Oh what are you doing? Oh!
- Friend 2: Son of a bitch, come here!
- Girl: Oh!
- Friend 1: You fuckin' bitch
- Girl: Leave him alone, fuck!
- Laylow : Alright we're done here, let's clear off, there's no point in staying
- Girl: Holy fuck, how is it possible to be so dumb?
- Friend 2: You shut the fuck up, you should of invited us to your party
- Girl: Fuck, you bunch of cowards!
- Friend 2: Hehehehehe
- Girl: You can't leave him like that
- Friend 1: Hahahahahahaha
[Chorus]
You mix the dope and alcohol
Then, there it is, everything crumbles away, spin off the road
You don't give a fuck about their codes
You, you just want to burn the world with your friends
Oh there you are
[Verse 3]
And you came back home late 'cause you were wasted
Because you were ashamed, because your clothes were dirty and red eyes
You bump into your mother, she's talking about your friends, your school reports
And since you're spaced out, you look at her weirdly (Hey we need to talk)
So you dodge her, go in your room, try to relax, try to weigh
The good and bad, but hey, it goes to your head
Lil' joint out the window just to relax
[Interlude 3: Laylow's mother]
Your thing smells so bad, it stinks. Hey, where are you going? Where are you going? Come back here!
[Verse 4]
When you take a look at yourself in the mirror, admit you don't recognize yourself
Telling yourself it's life and that life, must be a bitch
Who left you on read and did not even give your a chance
And the temperature's hot, and the temperature's hot
As if it wasn't enough, here's your mother knocking (Open this door!)
You feel like the entire world wants you dead (Open!)
You're feeling like you're alone in the ocean on a raft
But you take a look in the mirror and tell yourself it will be you, n***a, not another
[Interlude 4: Dialogue between Laylow and his mother]
- Laylow: Alright I'm stepping out, I'm exiting. So, what's the deal?
- Mother: Huh, what's the deal? You are completely wasted!
- Laylow: Yeah, yeah, and so what?
- Mother: So, I carried you for nine months in my belly, no one knows you better than me, you're turning-
- Laylow: Calm down, calm down, calm down!
- Mother: Turning into a monster!
- Laylow: Stop it, fuckin' hell!
- Mother: No I won't st-
- Laylow: Y'know what? I think I'ma leave, it's better mom
- Mother: You're leaving? Where? Where are you going, huh? Where are you going?
[Verse 5]
Woah-oh, when you're out at night
Admit it, you think about some things that are far-off but still consume your soul
Like that one time where you beat up a dude, like the time where you hurt your mother so badly
You were so high, you didn't even hear the angel crying deep down (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
You mix the dope and alcohol
Then, there it is, everything crumbles away, spin off the road
You don't give a fuck about their codes
You, you just want to burn the world with your friends
[Outro: Laylow's mother]
That's right get out... and don't come back, if you leave it's forever. We're not a white family here. You're a shame to us! Look at you! Your thing is going nowhere!
