Paranoia
C.C.T.V. Lyrics

Un gramme, deux grammes, trois grammes, yeah yeah
Counting up the grams of drugs sold, but feeling paranoid due to the presence of informants

Trop de poucav' j'suis parano quand j'bicrav, yeah yeah
Feeling paranoid while selling drugs due to the presence of snitches around

Quatre grammes, cinq grammes, six grammes, yeah yeah
Continuing to count up the grams sold, but still feeling paranoid about the dangerous nature of the drug game

Trop d'envieux, trop d'enjeux, j'suis parano, yeah yeah
Feeling paranoid due to the high stakes and competition in the drug game, with jealous rivals always looking to take over

Yeah yeah
Repeating the phrase for emphasis

Yeah yeah
Repeating the phrase for emphasis

Sept grammes, huit grammes, neuf grammes, yeah yeah
Continuing to count up the grams sold, but still feeling paranoid about the constant threat of law enforcement

Trop de lance-ba, j'me mélange pas, j'suis parano, yeah yeah
Feeling paranoid and not trusting anyone, especially not those who carry around weapons for protection

C'est fini le hood
No longer a part of the dangerous drug game in the streets

Et les transports de stup' dans la soute
No longer involved in smuggling and transporting drugs

Les cuissons de scélérat joue de mazout
No longer involved in cooking and processing drugs

Y'a deux trois poucav' qui ont semé le doute
Feeling paranoid due to the presence of informants who have spread doubt and mistrust within the community

A ces enculés de keufs qui m'ont sur-écouté
Still holding resentment towards the police for wiretapping and spying on him

Poto sur le terrain de drogue et de foot
Used to be involved in both the drug game and soccer

Pour une putain tu dis n'importe qui tu shootes
Made bad decisions and was willing to do anything for money, even if it hurt others

Mais en prison est-ce qu'elle contenait pas que des gouttes?
Reflecting on the consequences of his actions and wondering if it was all worth it in the end

Sois ma doggy
Asking for loyalty and trust from those around him

En pleine journée, on liquide la dope on liquide la fournée
Still involved in drug trafficking, but now trying to be more discreet

Bientôt la tournée, contrôle le quartier donc j'en ai détourné
Preparing for another drug run and trying to avoid getting caught by authorities

Faire des sous dans la rue
Making money in the streets through drug trafficking

Je t'assure que c'est encore ni vu ni connu
Feeling confident that his drug deals will go unnoticed by law enforcement

Ne retiens pas ce que t'entends
Warns not to believe everything you hear about him or the drug game

Oui y'a souvent des pertes et t'as pas ce que t'attends
Acknowledging the risks and dangers of the drug game, including the possibility of losing money or even your life

J'en ai fait v'la les sous maintenant j'suis plus partant
Having already made a lot of money, he is now less interested in the drug game and willing to find a new path in life

J'ai connu le milieu et les haut et les bas
Reflecting on his past experiences in the drug game

Fais très gaffe à ce dont pourquoi tu te bat
Warning others to be careful about why they choose to get involved in the drug game

Au commissariat j'mettais pas de débats
Acknowledging that he used to have run-ins with the police, but now tries to avoid them

J'fais plus de braco, non je fais plus de dégâts (ooh yeah)
No longer committing crimes like robbery and causing trouble like before

J'suis sur Skyrock, t'es sous sky drogue
Still involved in the drug game, but now trying to promote it through his music on the radio station Skyrock

Finis les fraudes, sur les Champs, je rôde
No longer involved in scams or frauds, now trying to make a living through other means while still hanging around a dangerous area

Ça commence tout petit
The drug game starts small and eventually grows into a larger issue

Dans l'atelier comme chez Geppetto
Comparing the start of the drug game to the story of Pinocchio, where he was created by the craftsman Geppetto

Un grain que j'ai pété
Starting small, but eventually growing into something more significant

Les heures sont précieuses comme les métaux
Time is precious and valuable, just like precious metals

La jeunesse est dans la ville
The youth are present and involved in the drug game within the city

À BXL en Afrique
Referring to Brussels, Belgium and the African immigrants who often live there

Les couleurs restent homogènes
Despite differences in race and culture, everyone involved in the drug game is united by their shared struggle

On sait pas parler aux jeunes
Realizing that the drug game often preys on youth who are vulnerable and in need of guidance

J'suis dans le 1.6.30
Referring to his location within the city by using the code for his neighborhood

Politique récalcitrante
Feeling frustrated with the current state of politics and government

Les flamands, les francophones
Acknowledging the political and cultural divide between the Flemish-speaking and French-speaking regions in Belgium

Les prises de tête insistantes
Feeling exhausted and fed up with the constant political arguments and disagreements

J'suis dans le 16.3.0
Repeating his location within the city and emphasizing its importance to his identity

Avec Hisham, Mouss et Jérome
Mentioning the names of his friends who are also involved in the drug game

Ma vie c'est une BD
Comparing his life to a comic book or graphic novel

Il me manque une case et y'a 26 planches
Feeling like something is missing or incomplete in his life, despite the many experiences he has had
