J'écris ma vie mon ami, mes angoisses, mes cauchemars que j'fais dans la nuit
I write my life, my friend, my anxieties, my nightmares that I have at night
Ma famille, ma patrie savent que j'suis un homme
My family, my homeland know that I'm a man
J'emporterai rien dans ma tombe même pas une pièce, un atome
I'll take nothing to my grave, not even a coin, an atom
En bombe j'te crache mon album-bum-bum
Like a bomb, I spit my album at you
Parfois j'me saoule et j'écris, j'ai besoin de me faire entendre
Sometimes I get drunk and I write, I need to be heard
Quand ça monte, j'ai plus de père, je fuck le monde j'me relève quand j'tombe
When it rises, I have no father anymore, I f*ck the world, I get up when I fall
J'appréhende le jour où mourra la daronne
I dread the day my mom dies
No, j'en tremble, je crains le pire
No, I tremble from it, I fear the worst
J'écris mes remords, à trop chercher l'or, j'me fais des ennemis
I write my regrets, by chasing money too much, I make enemies
J'ai mal à la vie, j'me soigne au te-shi
Life hurts me, I heal myself with hash
J'écris ma phobie de finir dans un coffre brûlé à vif
I write my phobia of ending up in a trunk burned alive
À marseille, papé c'est chaud
In Marseille, man, it's hot
Souvent les jaloux se font des tas de films
Often the jealous ones make up a lot of stories
Y'a trop de poussettes, de donneurs, de go de balances cousine oui
There are too many young ones, snitches, girls who are snitches, cousin, yes
Parfois j'écris ce qui s'passera en avance
Sometimes I write what will happen in advance
Demande pas comment c'est fou je sais
Don't ask how, it's crazy, I know
Pour un rien tu sautes, regard de travers, tu sautes
For nothing, you're out, a sideways glance, you're out
Touche au bénéfice, tu sautes, tu veux être son amant, tu sautes
Touch the profit, you're out, you want to be her lover, you're out
Sors un 9 milli', tu sautes, à 6 heure du mat', tu sautes
Pull out a 9 milli', you're out, at 6 AM, you're out
Même si t'as des gosses, tu sautes, t'as beau faire la prière, tu sautes
Even if you have kids, you're out, you can pray all you want, you're out
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala

J'regarde l'heure sur ma montre ap
I look at the time on my watch
J'commence à vieillir, j'deviens agressif donc j'm'éloigne des coups de fusil
I'm starting to get old, I'm becoming aggressive so I'm moving away from gunshots
J'suis comorien j'suis pas né dans le mississipi
I'm Comorian, I wasn't born in Mississippi
Marseille c'est nous #kestia?
Marseille is us, what's up?
J'écris trop profond, j'vais m'noyer dans l'son
I write too deep, I'm going to drown in the sound
Tonton j'fais le con, demain j'suis là ou peut être en prison
Uncle, I'm messing around, tomorrow I'll be here or maybe in prison
J'écris ma crainte oui de perdre mon contrôle
I write my fear, yes, of losing my control
Face au mec de ma fille, je l'écrase wallah j'mens pas
Faced with my daughter's boyfriend, I'll crush him, I swear to God, I'm not lying
Raisonne-moi, j'me questionne vas-y, dis si j'déconne mentalité de la zone
Reason with me, I'm questioning myself, go on, tell me if I'm messing up, hood mentality
Je me livre trop, est-ce ma faute
I reveal too much, is it my fault
No, ça tu vas le dire à d'autres
No, you're going to tell that to others
Je suis marié à ces bâtiments de force sans dot
I'm married to these buildings by force, without a dowry
Sans baveux les vrais au comico perdre la mémoire
Without lawyers, the real ones at the police station lose their memory
Là j'écris j'suis seul j'redoute les jnouns viennent me voir
Here I write, I'm alone, I dread the jinn coming to see me
Quand j'vois la terre mère se déchirer à la can dans le racisme
When I see Mother Earth tearing itself apart stupidly in racism
Pourtant arabes, noirs, unis, c'est ce que je vis depuis petit
Yet Arabs, Blacks, united, that's what I've lived since I was little
J'comprends pas on vient d'en bas, p.l.a.n.d.a.o.u
I don't understand, we come from the bottom, from the hood
Y'a des blancs, des jaunes, des braves et des crapules
There are whites, yellows, brave people and scumbags
On croit en dieu et non pas à votre big-bang
We believe in God and not in your big bang
Inch'allah qu'on finisse pas dans un sale état c'est le drame
God willing, we don't end up in a bad state, it's a tragedy

daronne — mom
Daronne is a French slang term for 'mother' or 'mom'. It's a familiar and somewhat informal word, often used in urban or youth contexts.
In the song, Alonzo expresses a deep fear, singing, "J'appréhende le jour où mourra la daronne" (I dread the day my mom dies). This use of daronne makes the sentiment feel very personal and raw, highlighting the artist's vulnerability and the profound impact his mother has on his life.
