All You Ever Needed

Lyrics:

Je suis en 4ème et je connais rien de la vie
(I’m in 9th grade and I know nothing about life)
Je m'intéresse aux filles et j'fais des battles SMS avec Benji
(I start taking interest in girls and doing text battles with Benji)
Mon histoire elle commence à Paris
(My story begins in Paris) 
Y'a plus de dix ans déjà
(Over ten years ago already)
J'sais pas pourquoi j'y repense aujourd'hui
(No idea why I’m thinking about it today)
Le temps a passé
(Time has passed)
Je me souviens quand j'étais une merde en anglais
(I remember when I was shit at English)
Les cours particuliers
(The private lessons)
Et ma mère qu'était tout le temps stressée
(And my mother stressing all the time)
Mes premières maquettes
(My first demos)
Je leur montrais en cachette à la bibliothèque
(I’d play them in secret at the library)
Je tire une taffe sur mon premier pet'
(I take a hit on my first joint)
B-Boy Tonio qui me conseille
(BBoy tonio advising me)
Tu nous as quitté 
(You left us)
Mais crois-moi je pense à toi chaque fois que je breake
(But believe me I think of you every time I breakdance)
Mes tags éclatés près du RER 
(My horrible tags near the overground)
Mon premier concert
(My first show)
Quand on s'est dit qu'on peut le faire
(When we told each other we could do it)
Avec Kalu on kickait ça devant la cantine 
(With Kalu we’d rap in front of the canteen)
En s'imaginant à Bercy
(Picturing ourselves at Bercy)
Je vois qu'on a bien grandit
(I see we’ve grown up)
On aurait pu le faire mais tant pis
(We could have done it but oh well)
On passe le bac
(We pass the baccalaureate)
On tourne une page
(We turn a page)
Le début du reste de nos vies
(The beginning of the rest of our lives)
Je fais mes bagages et je me casse au Royaume-Uni
(I pack my bags and head to the United Kingdom)

Time goes by
(Le temps passe)
Would you teach me how to fly?
(M’apprendrais-tu à voler ?)
I've always wanted to learn how to reach the sky
(J’ai toujours voulu savoir comment atteindre le ciel)
Puffing on lye
(J’tire sur la beuh)
I'm hoping that it gets me high
(En espérant que ça me fasse planer)
But it takes me deep into Nostalgia
(Mais ça me plonge profondément dans la nostalgie)

Soit j'rêve soit j'crève
(Either I dream or I burst)
Mais dans ma bulle je m'élève
(But in my bubble I rise)
Tant de nuits sans sommeil
(So many sleepless nights)
Pour me rapprocher du soleil
(Trying to get closer to the sun)
Faut que je laisse une trace
(I have to leave a mark)
Mon sang se glace
(My blood runs cold)
Quand je pense aux années qui passent
(When I think of the years that pass)

Puis les relations s'esquintent avec le temps et la distance
(Relationships deteriorate over time and distance)
Pendant que je construis mon truc à Londres
(While I'm building something in London)
La vie de mes potes avance
(My friends' lives move forward)
Je reviens de temps en temps mais c'est plus comme avant
(I come back from time to time but it's not like it used to be)
Cette double vie où j'appartiens nul part toujours en suspens
(This double life where I belong nowhere, never settled)
Mais les choses se passent bien
(But things are going well)
Je commence à faire des shows 
(I'm starting to play shows)
Et de la zik à temps pleins
(And do music full time)
Quelques tremplins
(A few springboards)
Chaque fois qu'ils applaudissent 
(Every time they clap)
Ça me ramène au New Morning
(It takes me back to the New Morning)
Avec l'extase et la famille
(With the excitement and family)
Quand je pensais que tout était possible
(Back when I believed anything was possible)
J'opère outre-mer 
(I operate overseas)
Mais j'oublie jamais d'où je viens
(But I never forget where I come from)
Ils kiffent l'accent français 
(They like the French accent)
je pose des 16 y'a du soutien
(I spit hot 16’s they show support)
Dans l'Eurostar je gratte 
(In the Eurostar I write)
Ma plume est bilingue
(My pen is bilingual)
Où ça me mènera tout ça
(Where will all this take me)
On verra bien
(We'll see)

EXPAT

Track n°10 from the solo album I am currently working on:

Intro:

Ooh ooh
(Sample)
"I could’ve been somebody”

Verse 1:

It was back in the days
When Hip Hop was still on stage
With time I thought it would change


But the pain is still the same
Back when over the paper I rolled my pen
During a long time I looked for fame
Kicking hard and busting my brain
Fantasising about blowing up the stage
Dreams of singing my own track
To make it bright and to make it stack
To blow up, go up, oh yeah I knew I wanted that
I took my mic, to make it right
Keeping rap right in my sight
Even though I liked the medias 
I knew they'd never get off my back
i took my chances
Public was what I was seeking
Haters wanted me to be sleeping
But they knew that I'd never be tripping
Living my life and expectations
Tied to my inspiration
I was told it was worth it to be patient
Word up that only grew my passion
Then I sung with grace
Applauses right in my face
I don't care what were my mistakes
Cause they’ve made of me an ace man

Pre-Chorus:

By now I grew up tall
From the floor up to my goal
I put my faith in you all and I ain't about to fall
Through the crisis and gimmicks 
Through the lies and the critics 
I put my life at risk and I ain't afraid to lose it all
No...
No I ain't afraid to lose it all, it's just how life goes…

Chorus:

So i'm just enjoying the ride until I fall apart
Going on and on until I'm gone... 
Till the break of dawn

Verse 2:

Till’ the break of dawn imma rap atomically
Then you remember how the fuck rap used to be
Spitting raw on the microphone
If anything I wanna give
If I was kicking for the dough
I'd be the first one to leave
For so many years I been searching lyrics
To bring the beats down, street sound was falling down to bits
I wanted to keep it alive
Hanging big size pictures on my wall
From Shady to 2pac I had em all
I hopped I could bring it back
Get off the scene them pitiful cats
Even if I had the balls
Had to get a big spark to blast
In the past it was a mess
Didn’t know better about success
Dedicating my life to rhyme
And it was dope at every time
To entertain I went insane
On my pad writing my pain
But I felt it wasn't fair
No one ever seemed to care
Then I got up way higher
Setting the crowd on fire
Man i was never tired
Yeah day and night getting flyer
I hit em with the flow
And laid them in one row you know
On tracks I went psycho
And live I went loco
Yeah I held the mic kicking shit
For so long it hurt my fists
Finally I was MC
Fuck YMCMB !

Guitar Solo:

(Fuck YMCMB)
(Till’ the break of dawn)

I think that works

(Till’ I die, till’ I crash
Imma live it to the last)

Pre-Chorus:

By now I grew up tall
From the floor up to my goal
I put my faith in you all and I ain't about to fall
Through the crisis and gimmicks 
Through the lies and the critics 
I put my life at risk and I ain't afraid to lose it all
No...
No I ain't afraid to lose it all, it's just how life goes…

Chorus:

So i'm just enjoying the ride until I fall apart
Going on and on until I'm gone... 
Till the break of dawn

TILL' THE BREAK OF DAWN Analog Mastered- Boost

Intro:

-Hey qu’est-ce que tu fous là c’est réservé aux artistes ici
-Ouais jviens juste poser mon flow 3, 4 rimes vite fait quoi
-ok fais vite
-ouais ouais c’est ça
(Batard)
(Pose le, pose le, pose le mic)

Verse 1:

Tu te rappelles quand j’ai commencé à rapper 
Ma gueule en grand sur ton CD
Moi qui pensais 
Qu’en 2, 3 années j’allais percer tous les dépasser

Mais qu’est-ce qui s’est passé 
J’allais débarquer et tout casser
J’ai beau kicker dire la vérité 
Mais on dirait que mon succès reste à mériter
Je lève mon doigt ça marchait pas ça marchera cette fois
ou la prochaine fois mais ça marchera mon gars
J’aurais bien voulu devenir connu 
Sans jamais en foutre une 
Sans dépenser de thunes ouais
Juste kicker kicker sale
Je voudrais être payé juste pour glander
Absolument rien branler même pas rapper juste critiquer tout ceux qu’essaient 
Comme le reste de la société
Comme ça j’aurai plus besoin de stresser 
Trop posé je pourrais juste cracher sur tous ceux qu’essaient
Tellement plus facile de faire ça à mon gars 
Que de taffer des rimes tous les soirs comme ça
Sur la ligne de départ rapide comme un guépard 
Mais j’ai l’impression que j’avance pas
Tant que j’écris des phases 
Et que je parle de ma life 
Et que tu passes souvent le Mic je te défonce en live
Hey hey hey, viens pour voir 
Ramène-moi le mic et va t’asseoir
On m’a dit qu’il fallait que j’essaie de caler des couplets 
Qui se laisse écouter sans passer mon temps à rager 
J’ai trouvé la bonne idée de rapper comme un TGV pour ne pas avoir à m’expliquer
Tant que j’écris des phases 
Et que je parle de ma life 
Et que tu passes souvent le mic je te défonce en live
Ouais maintenant change l’instru passe au refrain refré ça fait

I got the lo-fi
(I got the lo-fi)
Mic check one two
Pose, pose le mic
I got the lo-fi
(I got the lo-fi)
Mic checka one two
Pose, pose le mic

Bridge:

Pose le mic
Na na na
Pose le, pose le, pose le mic
Aï aïe
Pose le, pose le, pose le mic

Verse 2:

Oouh oui !
Personne avait dit que ça serait facile 
Que la vie d’artiste en valait pas mille était difficile 
En un battement de cil
tu montes et tu descends c’est pas toi qui décide 
Je te jure pour certains hits 
Si ils font des tirages au sort ça s’explique
Je voudrais être payé juste pour glander 
absolument rien branler même pas rapper 
Juste critiquer tous ceux qu’essayent 
Comme le reste de la société 
Pose le mic je t’ai bien massacré 
Et je te ferai la même en anglais tu vas rien piger, sheh
When I get up in it 
I spit bars that will make you want to quit it
Any minute I spend on the mic live 
How did I get so fly
When I get up in it wanna battle Imma pin them 
Independent I’m a menace with a pen I got no limit 
And I come at it again and then again 
Want to high-five you try flow like Twisted Insane
I be stepping on your lane
Lock that ass in a cold ass frame
Any motherfucking MC that will want to test me try me
You’ll feel better where the crowd be, woop
I see you ain’t too bright, huh
still want to put up a fight, huh
Mic check 1, 2 
pose, pose, pose le mic


Hook:

I got the lo-fi
(I got the lo-fi)
Mic check one two
Pose, pose le mic
I got the lo-fi
(I got the lo-fi)
Mic checka one two
Pose, pose le mic

Bridge:

Pose le mic
Na na na
Pose le, pose le, pose le mic
Pose le, pose le, pose le mic
Passe, passe, passe le mic

Verse 3:

J’ai pas beaucoup de choses à te dire 
Comme les rappeurs que t’admires 
J’aimerais en finir faire un son magique qui paiera ma retraite sous les tropiques 
À 25 piges royalties pour le siècle à venir
À la place j’ai deux albums dont je galère à faire la com
J’ai toujours assez de lyrics et d’instrus 
Pour t’infliger six albums à ton insu
Je vais les enchaîner bah ouais 
Jusqu’à ce que sa paye pour financer ma tournée
Tant que j’écris des phrases et que tu passes souvent le Mic 
Pah pah ! je te défonce en live
Mais rapper vite ça lasse
Hey passe, passe, passe le mic

Pose Le Mic

Cruising,
Slipping,

Didn't You Know DEMO

My name is Mike
I write a rhyme and I pass the time
I'm living it
But I feel like this life
It ain't mine
I walk the street
And I think of what I could be
I watch the world
And it appears as a bad version of me
The reflection of possibilities
And opportunities
I'll never take the time to take
I'm exhausted
Even when I'm on the break
I just want to sit still
And drown in my guilt
Things that I've built
Maybe they're not good enough
Maybe I'm not good enough
Call a bluff

As I sit back relax
Pop a box of Xanax
The world was made without me
And as it turns
It will keep going without me
On a quest to finding
The meaning of all of this
As I sit back relax I write raps
Trying to push back
Demons I got inside
I'm afraid of sleep
So I make beats
For most of the night
Then I see the sun rise
Yeah, I do it all again and again
Spending years alone with my pen
In the hope
One day these words of mine
They'll be said
Instead they be rotting in the closet
They remain unspread
And it's all that I get
For my state of stillness
I'd love to change it all
And not feel so small
The top is my goal
But I don't want to play that role
The worst of the best, the best of the worst
Either case is worse
I'll fight for none for what it's worth

I'll fight for none for what it's worth
Since the moment of my birth
I've been cursed
With a wish for immortality
Escaping reality
An infinite craving for originality
Pondering my goals
Aiming for an ideal idea
On which I will never get a hold
But the struggle is beautiful in a sense
Even if my dollars started turning into cents

I'll fight for none for what it's worth
Yeah yeah yeah
I'll rewind and reverse
I'll fight for none for what it's worth
Yeah yeah yeah
And it won't be the first time
