C'est quoi?
What is it?
C'est de la 0.9
It's 0.9
Si si? de la 0.9
Really? 0.9
De la re-pu ro (haut d'seine, bollos, bollos)
Of pure sh*t (Hauts-de-Seine, f*ggots, f*ggots)
9 décembre, j'ai les mains froides
December 9th, my hands are cold
La France veut m'embaucher, tenter d'me réchauffer
France wants to hire me, try to warm me up
Elle peut se mettre un oid, je ferai mon propre chemin
It can stick it up its a**, I'll make my own way
Non à l'A.N.P.E, oui à la débauche, fuck demain
No to ANPE, yes to debauchery, f*ck tomorrow
Citations sans félicitations, de drame en drame
Citations without congratulations, from drama to drama
Je n'fais pas bonne impression, je sais
I don't make a good impression, I know
J'avance de gramme en gramme
I advance gram by gram
Mais j'ai choisi ce train d'vie, j'en assumerai les conséquences
But I chose this lifestyle, I'll bear the consequences
Des aléas d'la street, j'en ai pris connaissance
Of the hazards of the street, I've become aware
Du hood à Hollywood, j'en rêve comme tous les autres
From the hood to Hollywood, I dream of it like all the others
Mais j'irai simplement d'une cellule à l'autre
But I'll simply go from one cell to another
Jeune noir, rien à foutre, comme ça qu'j'me défini
Young black man, don't give a f*ck, that's how I define myself
Rien n'a commencé, j'me dis qu'tout est fini
Nothing has started, I tell myself everything is over
Les mains sales j'écris mon récital
With dirty hands I write my recital
De bataille est mon champ lexical, je n'suis qu'une racaille
Battle is my lexicon, I'm just a thug
0.9 dans la peau, les colombes sortent de mon chapeau
0.9 in my skin, doves come out of my hat
Les colons ont mon drapeau
The colonists have my flag
J'ai des flashs de ségrégation
I have flashes of segregation
Nelson mon co-détenu m'a aidé à tenir bon
Nelson, my cellmate, helped me hold on
Mais je n'ai ni son calme, ni sa sagesse
But I have neither his calm, nor his wisdom
J'ai un Kalashnikov tout neuf, moi c'est 92 Ouest
I have a brand new Kalashnikov, I'm 92 West
On m'a déjà tué deux fois, une fois à Memphis, une fois à Harlem
I've already been killed twice, once in Memphis, once in Harlem
Jamais deux sans trois, j'attends ces fils de pute, qu'ils viennent
Never two without three, I'm waiting for these sons of b*tches, let them come
A 10 ans, j'ai vu Gorée depuis mes larmes sont éternelles
At 10, I saw Gorée, since then my tears are eternal
Ma rage automatique, mes armes semi-automatiques
My automatic rage, my semi-automatic weapons
Être hors-la-loi me soulage, j'me dis qu'ils ne m'auront pas
Being an outlaw relieves me, I tell myself they won't get me
Je vends d'la drogue aux jeunes, j'en vends à leurs rents-pa
I sell drugs to young people, I sell them to their parents
Peu importe tant que ma poche est pleine, ces chiens n'ont qu'à crever la bouche ouverte
It doesn't matter as long as my pocket is full, these dogs can just die with their mouths open
Moi j'ai besoin de cash, besoin de découvertes
I need cash, I need discoveries
J'passe pas à table j'mets pas les couverts
I don't sit at the table, I don't set the table
J'suis condamné à vivre, j'me f'rai jamais sauter l'couvercle
I'm condemned to live, I'll never have my lid blown off
B2OBA je m'appellerai, moitié Babtou
I'll call myself B2OBA, half white
En hommage à mon cousin Booba de Baobab
In homage to my cousin Booba from Baobab
L'ennui est le pire ennemi du banlieusard
Boredom is the worst enemy of the suburbanite
Le crime a payé parfois, beaucoup plus fort que ma foi
Crime has paid sometimes, much stronger than my faith
Paquets de cocaïne, défie la brigade canine
Packs of cocaine, defy the canine brigade
Respire mon sachet blanc, dure plus longtemps qu'Alcaline
Breathe my white bag, lasts longer than Alkaline
Rejoins moi dans ma suite au Lorraine Motel
Join me in my suite at the Lorraine Motel
Je sors fumer une clope, je reviens tout d'suite
I'm going out to smoke a cigarette, I'll be right back
En bas d'chez moi, j'ai repéré des taupes
Downstairs from my place, I've spotted moles
On se croit au dessus des lois, eux, se croient au-dessus des nôtres
We think we're above the laws, they think they're above ours
Et je sais que je vais plonger, ils sont sur mes cotes
And I know I'm going to dive, they're on my tail
J'ai des frissons rien que d'y songer
I get chills just thinking about it
Le son qui sort à 0.9 net
The sound that comes out at 0.9 pure
On a commencé minos, vomi nos tripes au mic
We started as kids, vomited our guts on the mic
Pas là pour plaire aux meufs, mec
Not here to please girls, man
Tu veux d'la qualité, 0 bluff, c'est d'la 0.9
You want quality, no bluff, it's 0.9

Banlieusard refers to someone who lives in the banlieue, which are the suburbs or outskirts of a large French city, often associated with working-class neighborhoods.

In the context of Booba's song, it carries a deeper connotation than just a simple suburban resident. It evokes a sense of identity tied to these specific areas, often implying a certain lifestyle, struggles, and a distinct cultural perspective that is central to the artist's narrative. The line "L'ennui est le pire ennemi du banlieusard" (Boredom is the worst enemy of the suburbanite) highlights the challenges and realities faced by those growing up in these environments.
