Amiri Assassin Lyrics in English by Nessbeal

Ravin translates to "ravine" or "gully". It's a word that evokes a sense of danger and precariousness, making it quite striking in a song context.

In "Amiri Assassin", Nessbeal uses it to paint a picture of living on the edge, singing "C'soir j'vais danser au bord du ravin" (Tonight I'm going to dance on the edge of the ravine). This metaphor powerfully conveys a life lived close to peril, where every step could lead to a fall, highlighting the harsh realities described in the lyrics.

Nessbeal's "Amiri Assassin" throws you right into a gritty, intense world where the lines between reality and a harsh, cinematic existence blur. He says, "Cette merde n'est pas réelle / C'est comme si t'étais au cinéma, kheyo c'est cruelle dans nos ruelles" [This shit isn't real / It's like you're at the cinema, bro, it's cruel in our streets], setting the scene for a life lived on the edge.

The song is packed with vivid, almost shocking imagery. Nessbeal talks about a place where "Casablanca c'est Bogota" [Casablanca is Bogota], suggesting a world of danger and illicit activity. He describes himself as an "Amiri assassin sombre comme Gotham" [Amiri assassin dark like Gotham], painting a picture of a shadowy figure in a city that feels just as dark and dangerous as Batman's fictional home. There's a constant sense of impending doom, with lines like "C'est la salle d'attente avant l'enfer, 04, la zone rouge" [It's the waiting room before hell, 04, the red zone]. It's a blunt look at a life where violence is ever-present, and destiny seems to push people towards a dangerous path, as he repeats, "C'est pas d'ma faute, kheyo, c'est l'destin" [It's not my fault, bro, it's destiny]. He's dancing "au bord du ravin" [on the edge of the ravine], accepting the risks that come with his reality.
