Etoile
Maes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust me

Gros joint d'aya
J'essaye d'oublier mes amis d'avant qui m'ont trahi
J'monte aux Pays-Bas
J'récupère la came, j'vais la refourguer dans tout Paris
Entre mal et le bien
Mauvaise graine finira parmi les arbres les plus fleuris
J'ai des potes au PA
D'autres qui perdent la santé, l'procureur les freine à Fleury

Ne t'attaches pas à moi, sur mon pull, tu vas laisser ton eye-liner
Ne t'attaches pas à moi, le parloir ne va durer qu'une demi-heure

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'ai visé la lune, finis parmi les étoiles
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'oublie pas quand j'me levais pour faire des temps pleins
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'ai visé la lune, finis parmi les étoiles
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'oublie pas quand j'me levais pour faire des temps pleins

Allô, comment va?
J'essaye de prendre des nouvelles de ceux qui étaient là et d'ma famille
Dans les hauts et les bas
J'fais les comptes chez la nourrice, j'ai récupéré l'colis
Pour qu'tu retiennes bien
J'te dirai pas tout car moins on sait, moins on oublie
J'ai du sang sur les mains, des armes
Une équipe qui peut venir te chercher dans ton lit

Ne t'attaches pas à moi, sur mon pull, tu vas laisser ton eye liner
Ne t'attaches pas à moi, le parloir ne va durer qu'une demi-heure

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'ai visé la lune, finis parmi les étoiles
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'oublie pas quand j'me levais pour faire des temps pleins
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'ai visé la lune, finis parmi les étoiles
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'oublie pas quand j'me levais pour faire des temps pleins

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'ai visé la lune, finis parmi les étoiles
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'oublie pas quand j'me levais pour faire des temps pleins
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'ai visé la lune, finis parmi les étoiles
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) J'oublie pas quand j'me levais pour faire des temps pleins

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh




Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
