Mona Lisa Lyrics in English Booba , JSX

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mona Lisa by Booba from French to English.
I'm so far
The future's behind me
I've got all the contacts
Let's go take their dough
The barrel's cold
It wants to whisper in your ear
I hope I'll be ready
The day sh*t hits the fan
I lost friends, real ones
Plenty of angels ditched me
With the horde
Gun in hand, outside the party
I'm gonna fall asleep at the morgue
Wake up with a bullet in my head
I got busted like a calf
How much is my future worth
I don't know
Let us see our sons
Tell us they're dads
Hagra doesn't pay
Apparently it does
Feels like it's not right
I sawed off the barrel
You honor the wrong flag
Your banner lied to you
Pablo Escobar under the skin
You come out to hustle a client
Saint Martin, Dutch side
Floating packages, cocaina
A cheat code for crypto
Give me two Mona Lisas
We gotta smoke them first
Or it's gonna turn to drama
Diallo took 200 euros off me
For a charm against bullets
I'm so far
The future's behind me
I see everything in purple, in PayPal
Half negro, half Neanderthal
No blood, no revolution
Only no way outs in the summary
Like in every execution
We go back up the road overloaded
Sending weed to my homies
Only cash in the network
Give me two Mona Lisas
We gotta smoke them first
Or it's gonna turn to drama
Zizou told me Drop them
It's gonna bring us bullets
What we started, we'll finish it
You can ask Ibou
We'll light up your marabout
Poh, poh
As long as Heaven's with us
Talking doesn't interest me
I'd rather put them all on their knees
Hey, hey
Chat with my twelve-gauge
Maybe you'll interest it
Pah, pah
Hagra doesn't pay
Yet I've put on weight
The Honda, JSX
Number 10, Maradona
We smoked hope
Gotta knock on wood
Pah, pah
F*ck your abuse of power, round my way
Bullets make the law
Saint Martin, Dutch side
Floating packages, cocaina
A cheat code for crypto
Give me two Mona Lisas
We gotta smoke them first
Or it's gonna turn to drama
Diallo took 200 euros off me
For a charm against bullets
I'm so far
The future's behind me
I see everything in purple, in PayPal
Half negro, half Neanderthal
No blood, no revolution
Only no way outs in the summary
Like in every execution
Floating package, cocaina

SONG MEANING

Booba and JSX invite us into a cinematic underworld where cash, weapons, and loyalty are the only currencies that matter. In rapid-fire lines, the pair brag about being “so far ahead the future is behind,” yet their success feels fragile: friends have died, bullets whisper in ears, and superstition (a 200-euro gri-gri against gunfire) battles constant paranoia. The hook about ordering “two Mona Lisa” turns the famous painting into street slang for prized contraband that must be “smoked” or moved fast before everything goes wrong.

Behind the bravado is an unfiltered look at systemic abuse (“la hagra”), the lure of easy money (crypto cheat codes, floating cocaine bundles near Saint-Martin), and the emptiness of power. Every boast is shadowed by a fatalistic shrug – if the sky is with them, they will finish what they started, but they might still wake up in a morgue. “Mona Lisa” is both a flex and a cautionary tale, showing how survival in Booba’s world means staying armed, staying paid, and accepting that tomorrow could be a blank canvas splattered with gunpowder and regret.
