Les Princes (feat. Nekfeu)

I come from a city where there’s no law
Where there’s no king
I wanna be the prince of the city
I’m behind the wheel of my ride
At the red light, they ask me for a dime
Paris knows the struggle too
I’ve got some things to sort out in the city
Flashing lights, a check, and I’m off again, still had some weed
And I see some asses on the sidewalk
I won’t tell you the stories of STDs
When you’re in debt, Paris isn’t so grand
So walk with a piece in your jacket
The troublemakers on the night bus
At night there’s action, so I’m never bored
I hit up the corner store, just got a hit
At the quarter past, things can escalate fast

The music is dark, the dude comes from the bottom
The music is dark, the white boy comes from the bottom
We dream of shining like Paris at night, under its lights
I’ve hung out, I’ve wandered, I’ve loitered, and I’ve slept all day

Princes of the city
We’ll do everything to become the princes of the city
You’ll be my princess, we’ll become the princes of the city
We dream of shining like Paris at night, under its lights
I’ve hung out, I’ve wandered, I’ve loitered, and I’ve slept all day

3 AM, I’m in the little treats
Candy on candy, today’s Halloween
I didn’t wait for the dark side to get Anakin’s flow
I’m high, all year long
Apparently, some are waiting for the New Year
Truth is, giving up isn’t in the vocabulary
Trying isn’t enough
I walk through the city, the weed is good
When it comes to my cash, baby, there’s no feelings
Check my retinas, my scars
Like Dhalsim’s body, my stories say a lot
Yesterday and today look the same
But tomorrow will surely be different
Mistakes help you grow, I’ve got a heart of a giant

The music is dark, the dude comes from the bottom
The music is dark, the white boy comes from the bottom
We dream of shining like Paris at night, under its lights
I’ve hung out, I’ve wandered, I’ve loitered, and I’ve slept all day

Princes of the city
We’ll do everything to become the princes of the city
You’ll be my princess, we’ll become the princes of the city
We dream of shining like Paris at night, under its lights
I’ve hung out, I’ve wandered, I’ve loitered, and I’ve slept all day

The night in South Paris, I think big
Do you know what it costs to live?
When people fall asleep through the window
I see the lights staining the raindrops, and I think
Nothing can happen to me, I’ve got a sleepy heart
But tonight I had a bad dream, the pain woke me up
Crossing the Concorde Bridge and walking back
And loving you beyond your body, yeah
Do you think one day we’ll be better?
I dreamed of a bright future, since we thought we’d end up together
But draw a line, you messed it all up
Don’t worry, before saying goodbye, I’ve got prayers to say to God
I’ll be quiet once I’m buried, but the Earth is irradiated
Yeah, a Black kills a Black right down my street
Welcome to the city where witnesses never saw a thing
I had my Marie working all over South Paris
There are my prints on a lot of these walls
And my DNA on a lot of these asses
I left the house without saying goodbye to Mom
And I didn’t come back for a week, I lost my sleep
I wear out my soles on the road that leads to the top
The voice comes from the housing projects
Flow is dirty, comes from the Seine’s flow
Dream of shining like Paris at night

A spliff between my lips, I’m the prince of the city
South Paris, South Paris at night
We are the princes of the city
We are the princes of the city
MZ, we are the princes of the city
Seine Zoo, S-Crew boy
We are the princes of the city

The music is dark, the dude comes from the bottom
The music is dark, the white boy comes from the bottom
We dream of shining like Paris at night, under its lights
I’ve hung out, I’ve wandered, I’ve loitered, and I’ve slept all day

Princes of the city
We’ll do everything to become the princes of the city
You’ll be my princess, we’ll become the princes of the city
We dream of shining like Paris at night, under its lights
I’ve hung out, I’ve wandered, I’ve loitered, and I’ve slept all day

I come from a city where there’s no law
Where there’s no king
I wanna be the prince of the city
