Ma Cité A Craqué Lyrics in English by Sofiane, Bakyl
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ma Cité A Craqué by Sofiane from French to English.
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité a craqué
My hood, my hood has cracked
Ils veulent me faire 6 pieds sous terre
They want to put me six feet under
J'ai l'accent d'Alpha, la vie d'ma mère
I have Alpha's accent, on my mother's life
Les jours je les bois, les nuits je les canes
I drink the days, I kill the nights
Même l'ange de la mort a le permis d'bécanne
Even the angel of death has a motorcycle license
Ils ont relevé les plombs, si tu le sais, réponds
They've turned the power back on, if you know it, answer
Plusieurs messages sur le PGP, en effet
Several messages on PGP, indeed
Ca bombarde à fond, sauter au plafond, j'l'ai fais
It's going full throttle, hitting the roof, I did it
Stupéfait des faits, les stups' ont défait mes fonds, merde
Stunned by the facts, the narcs undid my funds, sh*t
Le génie dans la bouteille, pourquoi tu bafouilles?
The genie in the bottle, why are you stammering?
J'crois que tu parles de moi 'zin
I think you're talking about me, bro
C'est moi le grand d'la tess', on a tourné p'tit frère
I'm the big shot of the hood, we've been around little brother
J'suis même capable de te présenter ton voisin
I can even introduce you to your neighbor
T'es passé pécho, seul dans l'Audi
You went to cop, alone in the Audi
Ils veulent ffer-chau, appelle Yabou ma gueule c'est des sosies
They want to cause trouble, call Yabou my man, they're lookalikes
Crack dans l'réchaud, t'es passé chez So, les condés aussi
Crack in the stove, you went to So's, the cops too
C'est Playmobil, v'là les histoires
It's Playmobil, here are the stories
On fait neiger, on fait pleuvoir
We make it snow, we make it rain
J'suis pas responsable, j'suis influençable
I'm not responsible, I'm impressionable
Même sa mère la juge m'a interdit d'me voir
Even the f*cking judge forbade me from seeing her
Il arrive derrière mais j'l'ai vu kho
He's coming from behind but I saw him, bro
Neuf millimètres scotché sous le bureau
Nine millimeter taped under the desk
93 dernier billard, là on est 6 milliards comme les mecs des Mureaux
93 last pool table, here we are 6 billion like the guys from Les Mureaux
Fiane-So
Fiane-So
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood

My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked

My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ils veulent me faire, j'ai l'pochon vert
They want to get me, I have the green baggie
Chez moi j'ai mon fer, à droite y'a mon frère
At my place I have my gun, to my right there's my brother
Qu'ils niquent leur mère, j'suis sur les nerfs
F*ck their mothers, I'm on edge
Regard vé-ner', ouais, rebeu déter'
Angry look, yeah, determined Arab
On se connait pas, ne me juge pas
We don't know each other, don't judge me
J'marche la tête haute dans les rues de ris-Pa
I walk with my head high in the streets of Paris
Marche avec moi, ne panique pas
Walk with me, don't panic
J'suis accroché, quand ça tire, je ris pas
I'm hooked, when it shoots, I don't laugh
J'suis devant toi, au feu j'avance pas
I'm in front of you, at the light I don't move forward
Met le feu, dans ma ville tu danses pas
Set the fire, in my city you don't dance
Dis tu déconnes? Retourne à l'école
Are you kidding? Go back to school
Plus rien m'étonne depuis l'époque de Jean-Ba
Nothing surprises me since Jean-Ba's time
Tu le fais plus par kil', tu le fais par tonne
You don't do it by the kilo anymore, you do it by the ton
Litrons de larmes sur les joues des rents-pa
Litres of tears on the parents' cheeks
J'suis pas une femme, j'fais pas la queue
I'm not a woman, I don't wait in line
J'fais du papier crack, coke, shit, beuh
I make paper, crack, coke, sh*t, weed
Tu veux m'abattre venez à 32
You want to take me down, come with 32
Si j'sors le Toka', wallah sauve qui peut
If I pull out the Toka', I swear it's every man for himself
Depuis ti-peu, j'fais c'que j'peux
Since I was little, I do what I can
Du violet et pas un petit peu
Purple and not just a little bit
Wallah j'en veux, petit morveux
I swear I want it, little snot
J'sais d'ou j'viens donc j'sais c'que j'veux
I know where I come from so I know what I want
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked
Ma cité, ma cité, ma cité, ma cité
My hood, my hood, my hood, my hood
Ma cité a craqué
My hood has cracked

Did you like this lyrics translation?
bécanne — motorbike
Bécanne is a colloquial French term for a motorbike or motorcycle. It's an interesting word because it's not the standard term (moto) and adds a touch of street slang and authenticity to the lyrics.
In the song, Sofiane uses it in the line "Même l'ange de la mort a le permis d'bécanne" (Even the angel of death has a motorbike license), creating a vivid and somewhat edgy image that fits the song's gritty narrative about life in the city.
