Soumis Lyrics in English by KeBlack, Naza, Mister you

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soumis by KeBlack from French to English.
Wesh Rise, dis-moi comment c'est
Yo Rise, tell me how it is
C'est Mister You, Bomayé
It's Mister You, Bomayé
J'ai visé dans l'mille
I hit the bullseye
La musique a des projets pour moi là-bas
Music has plans for me over there
J'connais les vices, les filles qui font que de me lambda
I know the vices, the girls who just treat me as ordinary
J'connais la zik, tous ces potes qui ont la dalle
I know the music, all these friends who are hungry
Qui te diront merci mais sont là que pour faire la bas
Who will thank you but are only there for their own gain
Pour ma famille, il faut que j'aille l'plus loin
For my family, I must go the furthest
Pour mes amis, il faut qu'fasse mon chemin
For my friends, I must make my way
Laisse, certains te suivent, laisse
Never mind, some follow you, never mind
Laisse, si tu deviens populaire
Never mind, if you become popular
Excuse-moi, eh, maman j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Mom I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, papa j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Dad I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, maman j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Mom I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, papa j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Dad I had promised you
J'connais les gens qui te veulent du mal
I know the people who wish you ill
Ah mais j'laisse tomber
Ah but I let it go
Je sais que pour eux c'est terminé
I know that for them it's over
Ah mais j'laisse tomber
Ah but I let it go
Des fois je doute, parfois dégoutté
Sometimes I doubt, sometimes disgusted
D'un don j'suis doté
I'm endowed with a gift
Donc la jalousie ne fait qu'augmenter
So the jealousy only increases
Ah, ah, ah, je n'sais plus quoi faire
Ah, ah, ah, I don't know what to do anymore
Ah, ah, ah, les traîtres vont m'décoiffer
Ah, ah, ah, the traitors will mess me up
Ah, ah, ah, j'ai le seum mais je reste serein
Ah, ah, ah, I'm p*ssed off but I remain calm
Ah, ah, ah, du haram je suis desserrer
Ah, ah, ah, I'm freed from haram
Excuse-moi, eh, maman j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Mom I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, papa j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Dad I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, maman j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Mom I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, papa j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Dad I had promised you
On a grandit dans la street, on a connu la vie dure
We grew up in the street, we knew a hard life
C'est dans les vieilles marmites qu'on fait les meilleures confitures
It's in old pots that you make the best jams
On revient de tellement loin, bienvenue dans le futur
We've come so far, welcome to the future
Quand la street fait sa rentrée, elle demande l'album en fourniture
When the street makes its comeback, it asks for the album as a supply
Mister You, Naza, Keblack
Mister You, Naza, Keblack
Dans l'pe-ra ça met des claques
In rap it's amazing
Mec croit pas qu'chez nous ça blague
Guy don't think we're joking around here
Nos concerts ce paye au black
Our concerts are paid in cash
Ils t'écoutent, Féfé Maybach
They listen to you, Ferrari Maybach
C'est l'retour du Grand Méchant You, c'est le come-back
It's the return of the Big Bad You, it's the comeback
J'suis calibré comme (inaudible)
I'm calibrated like (inaudible)
J'ai rencard avec la morgue et Laurent Bouneau
I have a date with the morgue and Laurent Bouneau
J'ai d'la one et des hits, j'ai repris le boulot
I have the good stuff and hits, I got back to work
Sur les ondes et dans la street, Rise, pull up
On the airwaves and in the street, Rise, pull up
Excuse-moi, eh, maman j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Mom I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, papa j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Dad I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, maman j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Mom I had promised you
Excuse-moi, eh, papa j't'avais promis
Excuse me, hey, Dad I had promised you

marmites — pots / cooking pots

Marmites literally translates to "cooking pots" or "stewpots". It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in modern song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the song, the phrase "C'est dans les vieilles marmites qu'on fait les meilleures confitures" is a French proverb meaning "It's in old pots that you make the best jams." This proverb is used metaphorically to suggest that experience and tradition (the "old pots") are essential for creating the best results (the "best jams"), implying wisdom comes with age and experience.
