Papa Allo Lyrics in English Alonzo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Papa Allo by Alonzo from French to English.
Yo dad
You won't answer, you piss me off
Where are you?
I need cash, clothes
School drives me crazy, I'm bored
Yo you're never here
Everybody says I'm rich 'cause I'm your son, it's tough
They all listen to you here, it's too much
Don't give a f*ck that you're a star, I want my dad
Son, I'm traveling for work
I don't stop
Video, concert, studio
I finish late, don't blame me
Son, we need dough, soon I'm gonna quit everything
I've been in the game for 20 years, you're growing up, I don't see us
What're you missing, you got the Play, Asics, Piwi, Philipp Plein
Anything you want I pay for
But know we get nothing for nothing
Brace yourself, life's not a movie, it's not Gomorra
Wait, I gotta hang up, I'm going on stage, call me back!
Yo dad
You won't answer, you piss me off
Where are you?
I need cash, clothes
School drives me crazy, I'm bored
Yo you're never here
Everybody says I'm rich 'cause I'm your son, it's tough
Everybody here disgusts me, it's too much
Don't give a f*ck that you're a star, I want my dad
Son, how come? talk to me about school, what's this story
I got no diplomas
I made my mom worry, all alone
Don't be like me
I'll never let you rap
I'll never let you smoke that much
Never drink
I'll never let you be me, yeah I love you too much for that
I know we can't make up for lost time
I missed good moments
When I'm here I do too much
I try to fill the gap
Tell your buddies the album's coming, they shouldn't worry
I'm the dad with the most style, admit I'm not lying!
Yo dad
You won't answer, you piss me off
Where are you?
I need cash, clothes
School drives me crazy, I'm bored
Yo you're never here
Everybody says I'm rich 'cause I'm your son, it's tough
They all listen to you here, it's too much
Don't give a f*ck that you're a star, I want my dad
Yo dad
Don't give a f*ck that you're a star, I want my dad
Tell your buddies I'm rich at heart, I don't show off
Leave them Alonzo, you come kiss your dad!

SONG MEANING

Papa Allo feels like you are secretly listening in on a string of urgent voice-mails between a superstar rapper and his restless teenage son. Over a punchy beat, the son fires off rapid questions: “Dad, where are you? I need money, I need clothes, school is driving me crazy!” Fame might keep the father touring from clip to concert to studio, but it also keeps him away from the kitchen table. Surrounded by classmates who envy his supposed riches, the boy is less interested in designer sneakers than in a simple hug from the man behind the mic.

The second half flips the perspective. Dad, breathless on the road, tries to justify the grind: “I’m stacking cash for us, but I don’t want you to repeat my mistakes.” He showers his son with gifts yet knows they cannot replace time lost. The track becomes a touching tug-of-war between material success and emotional presence, reminding us that even the brightest spotlight can cast a shadow at home. In the end, both voices echo the same wish: to swap the glitter of stardom for a moment of genuine family connection.
