La Belle Epoque

Sinik
Year 88, I was 8 years old and had very few scars
It sounds ordinary, 10 years later I screwed my whole life
What more to say except Perac, those were the good old days
A future convict, I wanted to screw the earth with my buddies
Even though I'm starting out, I wanted to hit hard and do more than just score goals
Everything changed around me, cousin, there are only bitches left
With our plastic guns, we took ourselves hostage
Our guns became real, and at our age, we all shipwrecked
Damn, I miss it, so I dream about it even if I drift
Life is beautiful, we go from the pain of living to the pain of life
And it's going downhill, so the parents see
I don't believe in them, and it's normal, they don't believe in me
It goes without saying, it's gonna get bloody since there are only blades left
So no more tears to die loaded like that Laam bitch
The street is full of little Siniks and little Kennedys
For 13 years, always there to screw everything up, rer-ti
Too bad for me, honestly, life is meh, I'm big and rich, and I preferred when I was small and poor
I've experienced highs, lows, but mostly failures
Sick in the head, I try to rap to avoid slipping
The street is tough, they may swear to me not to worry
And to survive, you need a hell of a punch, not a big brother
Too late for me, I gained rank and weight
I know how to cry, Per-ra, and marry pens

Refrain - Diam's
No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars
No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars

Kennedy
Look, ten years behind, I have too many memories, and I bury one more
It's crazy, there's no one left on the soccer field
It's true that it's old, yet I think time flew by
It was maybe time, but I think it'll be seven years in September
We wanted the world, but we were only given garbage
We're killing each other, asshole, I'd say it's worse, we're torturing ourselves
The good old days, we all took the same path, we all started running
With the buddies, far from suspecting that we were all going downhill
I'll get out of it, besides, at the beginning, we all believed we were on the edge of the abyss, some didn't even know we were all drowning
First troubles, first arrests, and first stabs
First lootings, and we ignite at the first dirty move
The kids grow up, the schoolyards empty, and the halls fill up
The alarms sound, our mothers are sad, I have to repent
The story of the pals in the 95, I didn't know all that, I don't have your time, and I stay strong even if they're not all here
All I wanted, I don't remember, and anyway, I don't care, surrounded by fakes, I don't want them to say I missed out on everything
Damn, it's far, and when I think about it, it's true, it's haunted
I have fewer friends, I give less love, ask Rambi
The good old days are when my mother believed in my conscience
I'm afraid to trust, and only the real ones know the circumstances
I keep moving forward without worrying, I tell myself everything will be fine
We won't say anything
At 17, I think it's already far

Refrain - Diam's
No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars
No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars

I'm sad every other day, count on 20 years, that's 10 years of sadness, and there's no time when I haven't said I'm glad life tests me
Never happy to climb a step since every time it's the same, every time I feel like they don't want me to unleash my anger
I made a choice, and so be it if it displeases
I won't forget, I learned that time doesn't erase wounds
Rap helps me since back then there was no listening
They said you're stiff, even if there were two of us, we stuck together
Since then, if you've succeeded, honestly, congrats, man
Because me and my old buddies, well, we only talk like lawyers
But I don't forget anything, I had too much love, so they didn't want me
Yet everything is written, now I know even if I haven't read it all
I think back to the time when youth brought me innocence
Growing up, only faith has given my life meaning
I was lost in the good old days, and I find myself when everything is dark
When all my buddies persist in believing there's no way out in this damn corridor
I can't lie to the people I love, I'm honest with my friends
(You loved a man (Kennedy)) but he beat me, so I banned him
I draw a line in this whole world, and I learned we were few
Who loves me follows me, that way there's less chance I'll be wrong
Some know that in any circumstance, I'm a straight-up chick
(Always by my side when I was alone in my 9m2 (Sinik))
I stand with my two brothers
Small and big, and I talk about before
Some preferred
Me, the more I advance, the more I know God is great

Refrain - Diam's
No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars
No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars

No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars
No matter what happens, I don't regret anything
The good old days are long gone
Me and my buddies keep moving forward anyway
Even if we don't forget the scars
