Par la justice souvent condamné
Often condemned by justice
Faire des allers-retours pendant beaucoup d'années
Going back and forth for many years
J'ai pas fait l'armée, mais tout c'que je sais
I didn't join the army, but all I know
C'est qu'il faut nous tirer dessus pour nous désarmer
Is that you have to shoot us to disarm us
Quelqu'un de fier, j'suis pas un rappeur
Someone proud, I'm not a rapper
Tu veux savoir qui j'suis, tu demande à mon père
You want to know who I am, ask my father
On sait d'où vient la haine, on aime pas la défaite
We know where hate comes from, we don't like defeat
C'est pour mieux t'enculer qu'on fait semblant de perdre
It's to better f*ck you over that we pretend to lose
J'en aurai jamais marre de brasser
I'll never get tired of hustling
J'irai sur Mars dès qu'j'ai plus le bracelet
I'll go to Mars as soon as I don't have the ankle monitor anymore
J'suis bourré, ce soir je finis sur la jambe
I'm drunk, tonight I'll end up on my leg
J'suis sorti, les rappeurs s'enferment dans leur chambre
I'm out, rappers lock themselves in their rooms
Mon histoire, je la porte sur le dos
My story, I carry it on my back
Mes cicatrices valent le poids d'mes erreurs
My scars are worth the weight of my mistakes
J'ai baisé l'espoir, en cellule le soir
I f*cked hope, in my cell at night
J'fume et j'aspire à leur faire des horreurs
I smoke and aspire to do horrors to them
J'suis venu prendre, prendre
I came to take, to take
Rebeu cramé, j'ai l'ambition de vendre
Hardened Arab, I have the ambition to sell
A 14 ans j'ai porté mes couilles et le tard-pé
At 14 I grew balls and carried the gun
J'suis rentré pour les mettre à plat ventre
I came in to make them lie flat on their stomachs
Le surveillant m'ramène ma côte de bœuf
The guard brings me my rib steak
Avant d'la faire griller j'bois tous le sang
Before grilling it, I drink all the blood
9.8.0.3.504
9.8.0.3.504
Numéro d'écrou mon cousin fait en billets de 100
My cousin's inmate number made of 100-euro bills
Beefsteak sur la table, j'le ramène quand t'as faim
Beefsteak on the table, I bring it when you're hungry
J'casse des gueules, pas l'même torse qu'avant
I break faces, not the same torso as before
J'ai tourné l'dos à celui qui me poucave
I turned my back on the one who snitched on me
J'suis sur-armé, ouais bande de putains
I'm over-armed, yeah you bunch of b*tches
C'est vrai j'suis plus dur et plus de-spee
It's true I'm tougher and faster
J'suis un litre de pure, t'es un litre de semi
I'm a liter of pure, you're a liter of semi
Fils je reviens, j'ai les crocs d'antan
Son, I'm back, I have the fangs of yesteryear
J'achète une grosse montre, j'fais un trou dans l'temps
I buy a big watch, I make a hole in time
Ceux qui m'écoutent, c'est des charbonneurs
Those who listen to me are hustlers
Femmes ou sœurs de youv' mais pas des grosses putes
Women or sisters of thugs, but not big wh*res
On s'comprend, la haine dans l'sang
We understand each other, hate in the blood
La soif de revanche c'est c'qui nous anime
The thirst for revenge is what drives us
Nos parents étaient pauvres, ouais la vie c'est dur
Our parents were poor, yeah life is hard
Comme un Glock dans la bouche ou se faire dans l'fut'
Like a Glock in the mouth or getting f*cked in the a**
Des enjeux énormes où l'on perd sa vie
Huge stakes where you lose your life
Il faut du biff, on est unanimes
We need money, we are unanimous
Ma mère est tout l'temps malade
My mother is always sick
J'fais qu'du placard et mon père il s'est cassé l'dos
I only do jail time and my father broke his back
J'tourne dans Paname, j'cherche un château
I drive around Paris, I'm looking for a castle
Mais pour eux rien n'est assez beau
But for them nothing is beautiful enough
Des rivières de sang, n'oublie pas qu'les parents
Rivers of blood, don't forget that the parents
D'nos parents ont subi la torture
Of our parents suffered torture
J'la ressens dans mes gènes, les choses ont changé
I feel it in my genes, things have changed
C'est leur fils qui lave ma voiture
It's their son who washes my car
J'sais déjà c'qui m'attend, j'ai niqué mon destin
I already know what awaits me, I f*cked up my destiny
J'suis contre eux, j'suis ce jeune de cité rebelle
I'm against them, I'm that rebellious youth from the hood
J'fais pas les poubelles, sale fils de pute
I don't rummage through trash, you dirty son of a b*tch
Oublie pas qu'Dieu m'aime et ma fille est trop belle
Don't forget that God loves me and my daughter is too beautiful
J'vais me laver contre l'œil car trop d'batârds
I'm going to cleanse myself against the evil eye because too many b*stards

charbonneurs — hard workers / hustlers
Charbonneurs is a slang term derived from "charbonner," which literally means "to work with coal" or "to toil." In modern French slang, especially in the context of rap and street culture, it refers to people who work extremely hard, often in difficult or illicit ways, to make money.
In this song, Lacrim uses charbonneurs to describe his listeners as dedicated hustlers, implying a shared understanding of the struggle and ambition to succeed, often outside conventional paths. It's a word that resonates with a specific, gritty reality and is far from an everyday vocabulary term.
