TRADUCTION TOP OFF - BEYONCE

[JAY-Z et DJ Khaled] 
Ah, toute cette merde est réelle aussi, ahhhh 
Je vais pas m'arrêter 
Je vois le... 
Je vais pas m'arrêter 

Je vais pas... haha 
On fait la meilleure musique 

[Future et DJ Khaled] 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach, j'en ai décapoté 
Encore une autre 
J'ai décapoté la Maybacj, je l'ai décapotée 
J'ai, j'ai décapoté ma Maybach, négro 
J'ai décapoté ma Maybach 
DJ Khaled ! 

[Future] 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach, oh 
J'ai, j'ai décapoté ma Maybach, ah 

J'ai décapoté ma Maybach, yeah 
J'ai décapoté ma Maybach, yeah 

[Future & JAY-Z] 
J'entends les flics derrière moi, oh, je vais pas m'arrêter (rrt, skrrt) 
Je vois les flics derrière moi, je vais pas m'arrêter (skrrt, skrrt) 
Je vois les flics derrière moi, rrt, je vais pas m'arrêter (rrt, skrrt) 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach, je nique ces flics (rrt, rrt) 

[JAY-Z] 
V12, tu vois, 12 (ciao !) 
Je fonce à toute allure sans ceinture 
En gueulant : "Libérer Meek Mill, mon frérot !"
Les négros n'ont pas le droit de rouler dans ce pays dit "libre" 

Pendant ce temps, l'ami Georgie Porgie m'envoie des menaces 
Économise ton souffle, tu pourrais même pas t'enquiller une volée de marches 
Essaye cette merde avec un mec mature 
Moi, je tuerai cet enculé de mes propres mains 
Eh hop, je saute de nouveau dans mon coupé (oh oh) 
Revenons à la boue du terrain, je sors tout juste du pétrin 
Retenez tous ces flics, putain 
Laissons parler le fric, laissons les fusils mitrailler 
Pas de bijoux dans la "Patek Philippe boutique" 
C'est compliqué, trois millions chacun 
Chut, c'est comme ça qu'on se retrouve en prison 
Mauvais presse dans les mags, et comme ça on se retrouve à écluser des boissons 
 
91000 dollars pour une note comptoir, faut payer l'addition 
Sois sincère avec toi-même, c'était la note de Juan 
A part deux des miens 
Tout le monde est une star, sauf deux de la bande, deux gamins 
'61, le toit ouvert 
Blue et moi, on chante à tue-tête 
Ça, c'est un béret couleur framboise 
Le genre qu'on trouve dans un magasin d'occases 
C'est une pièce vintage 
Du genre qui fait grincer des dents les détracteurs, parce que ça s'achète pas neuf 
Je me suis procuré ma came, tu sais comment je fais 
De la belle poudre bleue, de la bonne substance pour notre conso 
 
Khaled est pro, chaque mot est vrai 
Qu'est-ce qu'ils feraient, tous ces négros, sans nous, poto ? 

J'ai décapoté ma Maybach, négro 
J'ai décapoté ma Maybach 

[JAY-Z] 
J'ai enlevé le toit, comme tu vois 
Tu vas faire le tour de la ville avec la CLIQUE 
1.5 pour la Laundaulet 
Bébé, avertis bien tes copains de nique qu'ils se tiennent bien 

[Beyoncé] 
Je suis la seule nana ici, mais la plus grande de tous les nègres ici présents 
Je casse Internet, top deux et je n'suis pas le deuxième 
Mon corps, mes diamants, mon argent, tout est vrai, je suis une triple menace 
Je fous tout en l'air et puis je pars ; je reviens, je reviens, je fous tout en l'air et, à nouveau, je me casse 
Je décapote le coupé neuf et c'est parti pour la méga teuf 
Dans le quartier, en hurlant : "Libérez Meek" 
Ma voix porte, avec celle de Jay 
J'ai posté les photos des sièges du tribunal 
Oh, je suis en mode "J'attends" 
Oh, je pourrais rouler 
S'ils cherchent à jouer avec la reine 
Ils vont devoir signer une clause de confidentialité 

[Beyoncé et Future] 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach, ouais 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach (e vais pas m'arrêter) 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach (rah) 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach (oh, oh) 
Ouais, j'ai décapoté ma Maybach, meuf 
J'ai décapoté ma Maybach, meuf 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 
J'ai décapoté la Maybach 

[Future] 
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ça brille, ça scintille 
Ooh-ooh, c'est chérot, chérot 
Ooh-ooh, 1.5 
Ooh-ooh, je suis dingue, je suis dingue 

[Future] 
J'entends les flics derrière moi, je vais pas m'arrêter (rrt, skrrt) 
Je vois les flics derrière moi, rrt, je vais pas m'arrêter (skrrt, skrrt) 
J'ai enlevé le toit de la Maybach, rrt, je nique ces flics (rrt, rrt, rrt, rrt) 

[DJ Khaled & Future] 
On fait la meilleure musique 
J'ai décapoté, j'ai décapoté 
J'ai décapoté, j'ai décapoté 
Roc Nation 
J'ai décapoté, j'ai décapoté 
J'ai décapoté, j'ai décapoté, ooh-ooh
