Bercé Par La Street Lyrics in English by KeBlack
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bercé Par La Street by KeBlack from French to English.
On a des trous sur la peau, la rue nous a aimé
We've got holes in our skin, the streets loved us
De l'argent plein les poches, mais la prison nous a freiné
Pockets full of money, but prison held us back
Attention y'a la police, garde son détail sous l'polaire
Watch out, the police are here, keep your details under your fleece
Il m'a dit que j'allais le payer, sur l'autoroute de la mort, j'arrive au péage
He told me I'd pay for him, on the highway of death, I'm arriving at the tollbooth
Je ne suis pas un ange, t'en es pas un non plus
I'm no angel, neither are you
Je ne suis pas un ange, t'en es pas un non plus
I'm no angel, neither are you
Y'a des mecs de ma cité qui font des business et des rackets
There are guys from my hood who run businesses and racketeers
Bref, des mecs pas commodes
In short, tough guys
J'entends des voix dans ma tête qui raisonnent, qui me disent, j'suis qu'un effet de mode
I hear voices in my head echoing, telling me, I'm just a fad
J'ai 24 ans, oui, j'ai mûri, de votre haine, moi, j'me nourris
I'm 24, yes, I've matured, I feed on your hate
J'ai pas besoin d'une nourrice, j'suis Van Gogh avec un tard-pé bref j'suis une armurerie
I don't need a nanny, I'm Van Gogh with a late-night snack, in short, I'm an armory
Faut que je nourrisse l'écurie, perdu du temps, résultat frère j'dois courir
I have to feed the stable, wasted time, result, brother I have to run
Perdu du temps, résultat frère je dois courir
Lost time, result brother I have to run
Eh ba ndeko, ma derti fina
Eh ba ndeko, ma derti fina
Eh Philo dois je tous les Boma?
Eh Philo, do I have to do all the Boma?
D'la CC plein les nasaux, j'arrive en balle comme mon gars Naza
C*caine in my nostrils, I arrive fast like my homie Naza
Evidemment qu'j'suis un zaza, j'suis Keblack et pas Zazie
With coke filling my nostrils, I arrive like a rocket, like my man Naza
Mon public est un peu zinzin
Of course I'm a zaza, I'm Keblack and not Zazie
Dans la rue font les voyous, mais en fait sont des voyelles
My audience is a little crazy
Moi je voudrais que vous le voyiez
In the streets they act like thugs, but actually they're vowels
Moi je prends le large à bord de mon voilier
I want you to see it
Nga na botami na poto
I'm setting sail aboard my sailboat
Moi j'suis né en France
Nga na botami na poto
Pasi na mukongo
I was born in France
Ndeko, j'ai mal au dos
Pasi na mukongo
Na siliki
I'm angry
J'suis énervé
Na siliki
Na siliki
I'm angry
Ndeko, j'suis énervé
Na siliki
À bord de ma bécane, le bitume fait son nerveux
Ndeko, I'm angry
Le bitume fait son nerveux
Aboard my bike, the asphalt is getting agitated
Bercé par la street, grâce à elle, on est devenu des hommes
The asphalt is getting agitated
Premier étage dans les bacs
Raised by the streets, thanks to them, we became men
Sorti de nulle part, mais je sais où je vais
First floor in the bins

Did you like this lyrics translation?
zinzin — crazy / nuts
Zinzin is a colloquial and somewhat playful term for 'crazy' or 'nuts'. It's not a formal word, which makes it interesting and gives insight into informal French.
In the song, KeBlack says, "Mon public est un peu zinzin" (My audience is a little crazy). This use suggests a passionate, perhaps wild, and very dedicated fanbase, adding a touch of personality and energy to the lyrics.
