Anomalie Lyrics in English Keny Arkana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Anomalie by Keny Arkana from French to English.
There's too many anomalies
This century's painted in apocalypse colors
The kids get wasted on cocaine
They love handling big guns and playing gangsters
Street glorifiers dream of Rotary
And at the slightest crack, they'll have betrayed you
Toss the ball to the artists
You'll see them fight
To be the prettiest sea lion
Suits, fancy clothes
Privileges, postures, fake friends
Criminal world and in its twists we sink
In every city where misery's too massive
The oppressor sh*ts on us and normalizes
His extreme violence as soon as we organize
There's fantasies, everyone has their chimera
But only you set yourself free
And save your life
There's too many anomalies
This century's painted in apocalypse colors
The kids get wasted on cocaine
Fascinated by hookers and big-time thugs
And nothing shields the kids who are coming up
Kicked out of class
Then pulled out of the scrapyard
Yeah, our pasts traumatize us
Yeah, look at the fire we stoke
Yeah, a world of pride and greed
There's too many anomalies
The world spins backward
The collaborators get busy
Say there's nothing to worry about
Violence gets normalized
Bad vibes surround us
Anomaly
Heartless world, prejudice
Merchandise, bargaining
Anomaly
Points at the refugee
And never the arms dealer
Anomaly
Condemns the poor, not poverty
Sees only his advantage
Anomaly
Ignoring your sh*t isn't cleanliness
Ask dirty money
Anomaly
This world, it's an anomaly
Babylon is an anomaly
Anomaly
This world is an anomaly

“Anomalie” is Keny Arkana’s fiery snapshot of a world gone wildly off-course. Over a pounding beat, the Marseille rapper lists the daily absurdities she sees: kids hooked on cocaine, street glory measured in gun calibers, artists scrambling for shallow fame, and elites who profit while misery multiplies. Each surreal image is tagged an anomaly, proof that our century is painted in apocalyptic colors. Arkana’s verses move like a camera through cracked city streets, exposing how oppression, consumerism, and media spectacle have flipped moral compasses upside-down.

Yet the song is more than a rant; it is a wake-up call. Arkana reminds listeners that liberation starts within: “Y a que toi qui te libères.” She confronts the hypocrisy of blaming refugees instead of arms dealers, or the poor instead of poverty itself, urging us to refuse normalized violence and reclaim our own fire. In two relentless minutes, “Anomalie” turns every contradiction into a rallying cry, pushing us to recognize the chaos, name it, and then fight for a different reality.
