Neuilly Sa Mère Lyrics in English Magic System , Faf Larage

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Neuilly Sa Mère by Magic System from French to English.
We should see the projects
Come see us in the projects
We should see the projects
Come see us in the projects
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
F*ck Neuilly, come see us in the projects
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
F*ck Neuilly, come see us in the projects
My mom sent me to a gilded ghetto
Me, I come from my projects
F*ck Neuilly, I wasn't ready
My name's Samy, sitting in my class
Next to a Sophie, an Edouard and Charles-Henri
Here every SUV is gray
The thugs have shrinks
And the kebab spots have style
Listen, son
Neuilly's the chance of your life
But I miss my projects
You could end up a minister
My buddies, my block and my aunts
If there's pork you just eat the fries
Nadine, do what I told you!
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
F*ck Neuilly, come see us in the projects
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
F*ck Neuilly, come see us in the projects
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
Come see us in the projects
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
Come see us in the projects
They're young, handsome and rich
Faces you'd take a crowbar to
They rap like idiots
Listen to the style, Rolex yeah rocks
I miss the homies
When we hung around the towers
Check the Pitbulls raised on Red Bull
The fascists in boxers
The mamas on the balcony
The big bros in fake Vuitton
And the teachers depressed
What're you saying
We're all brothers
The feelings, the problems are the same
What're you saying
You're my brother
Neuilly, Nanterre, it's the same
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
F*ck Neuilly, come see us in the projects
F*ck Neuilly, we should see the projects
F*ck Neuilly, come see us in the projects
What matters isn't where I come from
But rather where I'm going
Everywhere there's good and bad
We're not all thugs
They're not all loaded
It's complicated but we gotta move on
Over there they run rallies
Round here we drive without a license
For them there's Fashion Week
For us the show's at Quick
So bring the Pommery
We'll bring the family
Teddy and Zinedine
So France, now we're square
We should see the projects
Come see us in the projects
We should see the projects
Come see us in the projects
F*ck Neuilly

SONG MEANING

Neuilly Sa Mère paints a lively, tongue-in-cheek portrait of a teenager who swaps his rough-and-ready housing project for France’s wealthiest suburb. Samy finds himself lost among 4x4 SUVs, designer clothes and kids called Sophie or Charles-Henri, while he secretly longs for his old crew, pit bulls and corner kebab. With humor and vivid images, the song highlights the culture clash between la cité and Neuilly and pokes fun at the clichés each side has about the other.

Beneath the jokes runs a hopeful message: wherever you come from, what really matters is where you are heading. By inviting the rich kids to “come see the cité,” Magic System and Faf Larage argue that people share the same dreams and problems, whether they wear fake Vuitton or real Rolex. The track turns social gaps into a playful call for curiosity, respect and unity.
