Foetus Lyrics in English by Booba
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Foetus by Booba from French to English.
Foetus je défierai quiconque
Foetus, I will defy anyone
Beaucoup plus grosses que des balles de ping-pong
Much bigger than ping-pong balls
Je me frappe le torse comme King Kong
I beat my chest like King Kong
Charge comme Mohamed, Tyson, dès le ding-dong
Charge like Mohamed, Tyson, from the ding-dong
Parti du testicule droit, plus rapide que Michael Phelps
Started from the right testicle, faster than Michael Phelps
9 mois plus tard, pas de place pour les faibles
9 months later, no room for the weak
J'irai en prison à 20 ans
I'll go to prison at 20
Pour l'instant je suis violet comme un billet de 500
For now I'm purple like a 500 euro bill
J'ai des faux flingues je te tire dessus
I have fake guns, I shoot at you
En maternelle je mange du sable, je me pisse dessus
In kindergarten I eat sand, I p*ss myself
J'apprends à chasser comme un petit lionceau
I learn to hunt like a little lion cub
Plus tard tu viendras me voir pour ta conso
Later you'll come see me for your supply
Encore trop jeune pour qu'on me traite de sale renoi
Still too young to be called a dirty black guy
Je me sens proche des negros plus noirs que moi
I feel close to the n*ggas darker than me
École primaire, élève de classe moyenne
Elementary school, average student
Pour être au top je deviendrai mi-homme mi-hyène
To be on top I'll become half-man, half-hyena
J'ai peur du noir, du croque-mitaine
I'm afraid of the dark, of the boogeyman
J'ai la trique devant les clips de Farmer Mylène
I have a hard-on watching Mylène Farmer's videos
Je vois l'Afrique à la télévision
I see Africa on television
'Elle meurt peu à peu', disent ils dans leurs chansons
"It's dying little by little," they say in their songs
Foetus je défierai quiconque
Foetus, I will defy anyone
Beaucoup plus grosses que des balles de ping-pong
Much bigger than ping-pong balls
Je me frappe le torse comme King Kong
I beat my chest like King Kong
Charge comme Mohamed, Tyson, dès le ding-dong
Charge like Mohamed, Tyson, from the ding-dong
Foetus je défierai quiconque
Foetus, I will defy anyone
Beaucoup plus grosses que des balles de ping-pong
Much bigger than ping-pong balls
Je me frappe le torse comme King Kong
I beat my chest like King Kong
Charge comme Mohamed, Tyson, dès le ding-dong
Charge like Mohamed, Tyson, from the ding-dong
Très tôt je pars au bled, je reviens marqué
Very early I go to the homeland, I come back marked
Blessé, je rentre en France pour les maquer
Wounded, I return to France to pimp them out
Public Enemy la sonorité
Public Enemy, the sound
Je ne tolère ni uniforme, ni autorité
I tolerate neither uniform, nor authority
Ils ont Canal + en décrypté
They have Canal + decrypted
Je fais mes courses aux puces, je suis dans la street à kritker
I do my shopping at the flea market, I'm in the street to criticize
Pas de relation stable, elles viennent je les baise
No stable relationship, they come I f*ck them
Je dois rester focus, je monte sur tous les dièses
I must stay focused, I go up on all the sharps
Les plus sages me disent de me ranger
The wisest tell me to settle down
Mais je suis déter' sur le ter-ter, pas prêt de changer
But I'm determined on the territory, not ready to change
Mylène Farmer ne me fait plus bander
Mylène Farmer no longer makes me hard
Mc Hammer ne me fait plus danser
Mc Hammer no longer makes me dance
Par contre la rue me fera chanter
However, the street will make me sing
Elle me détruirera, me le dira, m'y fera penser
It will destroy me, tell me so, make me think about it
Je ne sais que mordre, on m'a interdit de lécher
I only know how to bite, I was forbidden to lick
Je veux pas de ton poisson, je veux que tu m'apprennes à pêcher
I don't want your fish, I want you to teach me to fish
Foetus je défierai quiconque
Foetus, I will defy anyone
Beaucoup plus grosses que des balles de ping-pong
Much bigger than ping-pong balls
Je me frappe le torse comme King Kong
I beat my chest like King Kong
Charge comme Mohamed, Tyson, dès le ding-dong
Charge like Mohamed, Tyson, from the ding-dong
Foetus je défierai quiconque
Foetus, I will defy anyone
Beaucoup plus grosses que des balles de ping-pong
Much bigger than ping-pong balls
Je me frappe le torse comme King Kong
I beat my chest like King Kong
Charge comme Mohamed, Tyson, dès le ding-dong
Charge like Mohamed, Tyson, from the ding-dong
100-8 Zoo, les négros veulent B2O
100-8 Zoo, the n*ggas want B2O
Flow de grizzli, je rappe so easily

Meneur, leader, black entrepreneur

La street mon premier amour
The street, my first love
J'ai du la tromper, mais je l'aimerai toujours
I had to cheat on her, but I'll always love her
Je me devais de communiquer
I had to communicate
Ma self-education, ma rage de guerrier soninké
My self-education, my Soninke warrior rage
Des bancs de la school, au port de la cagoule
From school benches, to wearing the balaclava
Des crayons de couleurs, aux uzis mitrailleurs
From colored pencils, to Uzi submachine guns
Flash back! Du landeau à la Maybach
Flashback! From the pram to the Maybach
Du premier esclave au premier président black
From the first slave to the first black president
J'ai souffert, d'autres ont souffert beaucoup plus
I suffered, others suffered much more
Pour eux je dechaîne l'enfer, les degrés Celsius
For them I unleash hell, the Celsius degrees
A César j'esquisse un rictus
At Caesar I sketch a grimace
Incline-toi devant le purple foetus
Bow down before the purple foetus

Foetus — Fetus
Foetus (fetus) is a striking and unusual word to find as the title and a recurring theme in a rap song. It immediately grabs attention due to its biological and developmental connotations, which are not typically associated with the genre.
In Booba's song, the word is used to represent the artist's origin and journey from conception, highlighting his raw, untamed beginnings and his destined path. It's a powerful metaphor for his identity and evolution, making it a unique and memorable choice.
