Me, I don't have a tour bus or a Soprano career

I'm with my friend at Cours Ju' or at the Prado

Between friends, we have nothing except bicrave and entrepreneurship

There's nothing available to us

Even my own girl makes fun of me

When I told him I'm stopping smoking tomorrow

In rap, you no longer need to be a pro, you know that

Today you have to suck if you want to be propelled

I was just zoned out, born-tour

Outside I was rarely calm

When mom came home, I carried the shopping

But she was the one carrying the mental load

Deprived of educators and four hours

The little ones, they're outside making wheat

Or a big bag, if you see their experience, you're afraid

The little troubled ones become disruptive

We grated pound cake, not logs

We watched for Scarface, not Les Tuche

If you knew what we saw, A.S.B

We grated pound cake, not logs

We watched for Scarface, not Les Tuche

If you knew what we saw

Yeah, I honed my art in the streets of the FF

I played for Psy 4, not for the FFF

Yeah, here, there's no VAR when they refuse our goals

So cruciate ligaments in the field of major studies

To get money, it's robbery or drugs

Me, I chose the cotton field melodies

To know how to make hits, you have to see me in the stud'

With a wolf's hunger, so don't talk to me like a sheep

Here, the guitars are not the same as Rammstein

But it respects women better than Jeff' Epstein

Their racial offenses treat us like Frankenstein

While in our businesses, we are Albert Einsteins

I have to prune, I'm not old enough to zone out

I finished putting bananas like Axel Foley

I concentrate on dinner so I avoid sinning

Unless it’s to make the cover of Isha and the guy from Aulnay

We grated pound cake, not logs

We watched for Scarface, not Les Tuche

If you knew what we saw, A.S.B

We grated pound cake, not logs

We watched for Scarface, not Les Tuche

If you knew what we saw, M.A.R.S

bicrave — drug dealing / hustling

Bicrave is a French slang term, originating from Verlan (a type of French argot where syllables are inverted), for "bicraveur" which means a drug dealer or someone involved in hustling.

In the context of the song, it highlights the harsh realities and limited options faced by the youth in certain neighborhoods. The line "Entre potes, on a rien à part la bicrave et l'entreprenariat" (Among friends, we have nothing but hustling and entrepreneurship) starkly contrasts the illicit with the legitimate, showing the struggle to find a path to success.

Soprano and Limsa D'aulnay team up for "Si Tu Savais" to give us a look into a life that's far from glamorous. Limsa D'aulnay talks about not having a tour bus or Soprano's career, instead hanging out with friends, with nothing but "la bicrave et l'entreprenariat" [drug dealing and entrepreneurship] to get by. He even jokes that his girlfriend laughs at him when he says he'll quit smoking tomorrow. It's a blunt take on the grind, where success in rap isn't about being a pro anymore, but about who you know, or rather, "faut sucer si tu veux être propulsé" [you have to suck up if you want to be propelled].

The song really highlights the harsh realities of growing up in certain areas. Limsa D'aulnay remembers his mom carrying the mental load while he was "zoner, d'né-tour" [hanging around, turning around] outside. He points out that kids are out trying to make money because they're "privés d'éducateurs et du quatre heures" [deprived of educators and afternoon snacks], and if you knew what they'd seen, "t'as peur" [you'd be scared]. He contrasts their upbringing, eating "quatre-quarts, pas des bûches" [pound cake, not Yule logs] and watching "Scarface, pas Les Tuche" [Scarface, not The Tuche family], with a more privileged one. It's a powerful and honest look at the struggles and choices made when opportunities are scarce, all while asserting their intelligence and resilience in the face of judgment.
