Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Became by yame from French to English.

B*tch, been thinking for ages about how to live good, I ain't got your drive

Never listen to the "they say", the ones who talk haven't seen life through your world

I may speak in their tongue, but looks like they only hear the language of violence

I weave in a wheelie hands-free, you didn't see me stutter when we had to take the slow part

Sankara, Cheikh Anta, n*gga, I chose my models, solid like a German engine

Indie, no carats, no grill, yeah I hustle way harder than your elders' elders

I don't watch them, they're not focused, I won't wait for the pass, they can't cross

I'm Bantu, don't talk to me about being brown-skinned, we didn't come here to flaunt

Put your C away, I've got my cc's

I twist the throttle, I crush time

I ride like somebody's waiting on me

I grip the spliff between my teeth, yeah yeah

I bring out the bike, di-di-di-da-da, I smoke weed

I don't give a f*ck if it's crazy dangerous

All I see are bars, iron bars

The bike screams and I ride out of hell on a big iron, yeah

I bring out the bike, di-di-di-didi, I smoke weed, hmm

I don't give a f*ck, it's crazy dangerous

All I see are bars, iron bars

The bike screams and I ride out of hell on a big iron, yeah yeah

The Akra helps me focus

The hate I feel in my thoughts, hmm

In this mapped-out business, yeah

I bring out the bike-ike woo-ooh

I bring out the bike-ike woo-ooh-ah-ah

Bike-ike, di-di-di-da-da, I smoke weed

I bring out the bike, di-di-di-di-di-di, I smoke weed

I bring out the bike, di-di-di-da-da, I smoke weed, huh

I don't give a f*ck, it's crazy dangerous

All I see are bars, iron bars

The bike screams and I ride out of hell on a big iron, yeah

I bring out the bike, di-di-di-didi, didi-i-i, huh

I don't give a f*ck, it's crazy dangerous

All I see are bars, iron bars

The bike screams and I ride out of hell on a big iron, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

Hmm, hmm, hmm

SONG MEANING

Became feels like a midnight motorcycle ride through the streets of Paris: loud, fearless and fueled by a burning need for freedom. yame raps in French about shrugging off gossip, choosing revolutionary heroes like Sankara and Cheikh Anta as role models, and staying independent even when the music “business” tries to box her in. She paints a world of metal bars and violent language, yet refuses to let it cage her spirit. Instead, she hops on her bécane (slang for motorbike), lights up, and blasts out of “hell” on her own terms.

The roaring engine becomes a symbol of escape. Every rev says, I will not slow down for anyone. The repeated refrain “j’m’en bats les couilles” (“I couldn’t care less”) captures her rebellious confidence, while the smoke and speeding metal hint at both danger and liberation. In short, the song celebrates self-determination: ignore the naysayers, choose your own idols, and if the world builds iron bars around you, kick-start your bike, tear through the night and create your own road to freedom.
