La Vie C'est Court
Yvon Kreve
Life is Short
Serious state, barely a fucking bite on the spoon
It's like, damn, working if it's for a shit paycheck
A life gets taken away, returns to dust
Underground, for a Wu Wear coat, the little fools are proud
Check the gray, impressed. Don't care!
You rarely hear about those we bury
No worries, as cold-blooded as a Husti Tutsi
Bust a shot so you don't look like a pussy, you know what I'm saying?
Full projects on the drawing board, I'm following my fate
It's not chill as much as it's rough. Too many heads that are hungry
If I rant, I think about it
I live in a kingdom where death is a release
It takes resistance, wait your turn
When you gotta horn in, sometimes you screw up
Nights when you don't eat
It's the beer and the ganja that fill you up
You know when you got no food
The game of life, man, no bonuses
Man, it's crazy! You bet it all with a quarter
Some die as fetuses, she freaks out, so she aborts
A dad with no pubes, a dumb mom
Who's far from being strong
What the fuck! Don't tell me it's hot, get your act together
Plus, some live long
And get stuck on the first board
No gifts for the things that happen
For the love of the cob. Addicted, material, the love of the grind
15 years "and on her knees" a girl from the network
Run, put on your high heels... Hey YO!
"Fucked up nigger" for real!
From Kosovo to here, it jumps "Blow! Blow!"
The bike guys controlling "On Da Down Low"...
Whatever, Kget! You know what I'm saying?
Gotta watch your back
Lots of outlaws, and cops with the cayenne, ready to fight
You drag your feet, Son, you're wrong, stay strong
I do like Capadonne and I run
It works, it's no joke. Good! Look on the front page
Not like you're in ecstasy
When you read and see everything that happens
In the daily grind
You know what I'm saying! It fucks you up when you gotta run
Eh Ya! In the daily grind
You know what I'm saying! It fucks you up when you gotta run.
Chorus (x2)
Life is short, but it's even shorter
When you gotta run
It's each our turn, no detours
It's soon your turn
We live day by day until the last day
I wanna enjoy my stay because life is short, too short...
Yvon Krevé
I remember when I was a little kid and we played in my yard
It's been a while but my thoughts
It's like it happened just a couple of days ago
I often reminisce about my journey
It's never in the moment that we savor it
While some get wasted, some screw up
Playing deaf, it's each their turn
There's no detour whether you're against or for
If I had finished school like I should have
Because without education in this tech world, it kills!
Underpaid, you take the risks of ending up like a loser
If you get caught, just know that no one gives a shit, their lives confine
It's a scenario without pause. We all suffer from psychosis
Everything you thought was something else
Like a funhouse mirror
Who to believe? It's up to you to know...
The only thing I know is there's too many illusory messages
In life, you should never take anything for granted
Because in life, things happen without warning
Without warning, like predicting a seizure
The next attack from an enemy
You were cruising on the highway and woke up in a bed
Paralyzed with tubes in your nose
It seems like it's only when we're buried
Up to our necks that we think to pray
The only time we find it good is when we're making dough
It's when a big B rubs on my big P
It's when we roll big B's filled with THC
Listening to big beats h'H.I.P.H.O.P.
It's the late 90s, there are nervous ones panicking
Me, deep down, I don't give a shit
Things come as they come
Destiny, it's impossible to cheat
Some walk in piss and it slips
So much they walk in place, some act like bitches
You need triple six without trying to make profits
Those who put their energy in there,
I diss them in the name of the Father, the Holy Spirit, and His Son
Chorus (x2)
