Afro Trap Pt. 8 (Never) Lyrics in English by MHD
Grigris refers to charms or amulets, often associated with West African spiritual practices or superstitions. It's a less common word in everyday French, making it interesting and unique.
In the song, MHD contrasts his mother's fear for him with his reliance on prayer, stating, "C'est la prière qui me sauve, pas les grigris" (It's prayer that saves me, not charms). This line highlights a cultural reference and a personal belief, adding depth to the lyrics.
MHD's "Afro Trap Pt. 8 (Never)" is a high-energy anthem about his success, confidence, and refusal to be anything but himself. He's all about moving forward and making money, declaring, "L'espoir fait vivre, j'suis pas du côté des victimes" [Hope makes you live, I'm not on the side of victims]. He's a force in the music game, stating, "J'suis sur tous les terrains comme la Pogbance" [I'm on all fields like the Pogbance] and "dans l'game c'est MHD qui dérange" [in the game it's MHD who bothers].
He's got a blunt message for anyone who doubts him or wants to be like him: "Tu veux être moi? Never" [You want to be me? Never]. He's proud of his achievements, mentioning a "disque d'or dans mon salon" [gold record in my living room] and another "en platine près de la cuisine" [platinum near the kitchen]. Even with his mom worrying, he's focused on business and his music, telling us, "C'est la prière qui me sauve, pas les grigris" [It's prayer that saves me, not charms]. He's not looking back, even when things were tough, proclaiming, "J'ai pas ché-la même quand j'étais derrière" [I didn't give up even when I was behind]. It's a bold statement of his unique style and unstoppable drive.
