T'es Un Peu Comme Moi
Hooss Lyrics

Wesh
A slang greeting between friends

Wesh Gunroulett
Another slang greeting, perhaps a reference to the game Russian roulette

Des fois, tu vois y'a des matins comme ça tu t'réveilles
Sometimes you wake up in the morning feeling a certain way

Et t'es triste mais tu sais même pas pourquoi
You're sad, but you don't understand why

Et tu crois que ça va s'arranger, mais en fait ça s'arrange pas
You have hope that things will get better, but they don't

Et en fait t'es un peu comme moi

Toi aussi t'as coupé tes plaquettes à la maison

Tu rentres tard, que des culs de joint dans l'cendar

J'me suis battu comme Mahalba et Tito Ortiz

Le rêve, acheter un baraque au daron sur Orpi

Rêver d'une autre vie et puis faire semblant

Si tu sors, tu rentres avec des billets

Si t'es comme moi, plusieurs fois t'as perdu ta raison
The singer and listener have both lost their minds multiple times

T'as demandé au procureur une dernière chance

J'ai l'impression d'entendre sa voix, Mama, rassure-moi
