I know family is precious like sapphire
Tell yourself that all the rats jump into the water when the boat capsizes
Now I have it on my mind, I don't read the future
But when you're at the top, you see all these buzz-chasers coming
I know they want to harm me, but don't worry, I don't lose my way
Camouflaged in the North Face because maybe they want me dead
You're jealous, I find that crazy, put yourself in my shoes, see what it's like
You tried to screw me over but don't worry, I knew it
At the top, I savor it, rapping is all there is to do
As soon as there's a straight line, I wheelie the motorbike
I'm f*cking up the fork
They wish me to sink, they've already dug my grave
I deduce that your wife likes us if you speak ill of my crew
Too disappointed, too disappointed, if they turn their backs, they spit loogies
But it always falls back on them
I'll need more than a bandage to heal my wounds
It's thanks to the sons of b*tches that I still have pleasure when I rap
You give strength to people and then they think they can test you
They play dirty tricks on you, they cook you like Philippe Etchebest
Jul the best, the best, I've been f*cking everything up for ten years
All the lost friends weigh heavily on me but in the end, it's just stress
It's war in the 13
Only bad things in the press
No more trust in people
They leave their wives to make their mistresses comfortable
They often go where there's the most money
For a small bill, they'd give the address
In danger because I'm making money
Sons of b*tches, I kiss you all
Armored car, so it won't be my heart, but the window you break
My vision is gray, moments of joy and crises
They want to connect with me, but I'm anti-power strip
Two, three weak moments in the team, they vanish
In good times as in bad, we re-sponsor ourselves
They kick you in the head
When you're holding on, and there's emptiness below
When you get back on your feet, they say 'I'm sorry'
Traitors and vicious people, far from me
Know that they'll have nothing, nothing from me
And opportunists, far from me
Far from me, far from me
Don't you see that for me, rapping is easy?
I'm only good at doing good and delivering classics
Guys, stay far from me, far from me
In my head, it's a bit strange these days
When I'm in the storm
There are some who use the wind to light the fire
Except you have to know how to put it out
They do everything for me to sink, some media love it
When you don't give them what they want
They're the first to stir up hatred
F*ck the people who took advantage of me
As of now, thanks to me
They have a life, unemployment benefits, and even a roof
They can go f*ck themselves, my blood, that lifts a weight off me
I only did that to do good
But know that I don't need you
Me, it's DP not CB
I put these people in the spotlight
But apparently, for them, it wasn't enough
And since I don't pay attention to them anymore, for them it's worse
They think of me at home, and even at the gym when they stretch
We can't remake the world, bro, it is what it is
Problems, golden prison, that's my destiny
And it just keeps getting worse, but I care too much about the people I love
That's why it's impossible for me to let them shoot
And f*ck the cops, I've seen some sh*t
But know that at the OPJ, I won't say anything
Heart tight when I see the sirens
And then I remember I have nothing to reproach myself for, so I don't give a sh*t
Who says I have nothing left to say?
Who says I'm repeating myself?
Who dares to talk about me, to tarnish me, me and my reputation?
Always the same ones, those who can't stand seeing me first
But Team Jul f*cks you all, you need to understand that
They want my downfall, but I have the parachute
Some dream of paradise but for some it's prison, para sh*t
Cop bar
Sh*t, I kick from afar, I took kicks and slaps
You're just a traitor, so you'll get jacks and slaps
You'll get jacks and slaps
You're just a traitor, so you'll get jacks and slaps
Jacks and slaps
Traitors and vicious people, far from me
Know that they'll have nothing, nothing from me
And opportunists, far from me
Far from me, far from me
Don't you see that for me, rapping is easy?
I'm only good at doing good and delivering classics
Guys, stay far from me, far from me
In my head, it's a bit strange these days
Traitors and vicious people, far from me
Know that they'll have nothing, nothing from me
And opportunists, far from me
Far from me, far from me
Don't you see that for me, rapping is easy?
I'm only good at doing good and delivering classics
Guys, stay far from me, far from me
In my head, it's a bit strange these days

chavirecapsizes

Chavire means 'capsizes' or 'overturns'. It's an evocative verb that paints a vivid picture of instability and disaster, making it quite memorable.

In the song, Jul uses it metaphorically in the line, "Dis-toi que tous les rats se jettent à l'eau quand l'bateau chavire" (Tell yourself that all the rats jump into the water when the boat capsizes). This powerful imagery describes how fair-weather friends abandon you when things go wrong, highlighting themes of betrayal and loyalty.

Jul's "Loin De Moi" [Far From Me] is a powerful track where he really opens up about the challenges of fame and the loyalty he expects from those around him. He kicks things off by reminding us that "la famille, c'est précieux comme le saphir" [family is precious like sapphire], but quickly warns that "tous les rats se jettent à l'eau quand l'bateau chavire" [all the rats jump into the water when the boat capsizes]. It's a blunt look at how people change when you're successful.

He talks about the jealousy and betrayal he's faced, saying "T'es jaloux, j'trouve ça fou, mets-toi a ma place vois c'que ça fait" [You're jealous, I find that crazy, put yourself in my place, see what it's like]. Jul makes it clear he's aware of the snakes in the grass, even wearing a "North Face parce que peut-être ça veut ma mort" [North Face because maybe they want me dead]. He's proud of his success, stating "rapper y a que ça à faire" [rapping is all there is to do] and that he's "bon qu'à faire du bien et donner des classiques" [only good at doing good and giving classics]. But through it all, his message is clear: "Les traîtres et les vicieux, loin de moi" [Traitors and the vicious, far from me]. He's cutting off the opportunists and those who wish him ill, making sure they'll have "plus rien, rien de moi" [nothing, nothing from me].
