La Pression
Marz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a dirty game that we play y'all know
Bout to make a billion without losin' my soul
Ain't nobody ever been promised tomorrow
So I stay strong and keep on on my road
And believe me, it ain't easy but my head's high
Focus on the game and pray that I fly
A rose from the concrete of a raw street
On your mark get ready my star is rising

L'une qui me met la tête a l'envers
L'autre me stresse et me colle un ulcère
Même raide def je lâche pas mes quelques verres
Enterré comme la hache de guerre
Anti-positive attitude laisse ça aux rêves de gosses
Et mate la France d'en bas qui titube mec
Un besoin vital de changer d'air
Et pas prêt à faire ma dernière prière

It takes pressure to make diamonds
La Pression
You keep on pushin' I keep climbin'
La Pression
Fuelin' my fire till I'm top G
Nah boy you won't stop me

It's a dirty game that we play y'all know
Bout to make a billion without losin' my soul
Ain't nobody ever been promised tomorrow
So I stay strong and keep on on my road
And believe me, it ain't easy but my head's high
Focus on the game and pray that I fly
A rose from the concrete of a raw street
On your mark get ready my star is rising

C'est clair que je l'apprécierais plus dans mon verre
Bouffe mon air, ma terre, mon univers
M'enfonce dans une perpétuelle guerre des nerfs
On ne décompresse plus dans les waters
Le temps d'un riff, d'un kiff, d'un split laisse moi oublier
Ce truc qui essaye de me suivre jusque dans mes cahiers
Il n'y a que dans mon art que je peux m'exiler
Pourtant autour de moi plus d'un essaye de me la filer

It takes pressure to make diamonds
La Pression
You keep on pushin' I keep climbin'
La Pression
Fuelin' my fire till I'm top G
Nah boy you won't stop me

It's a dirty game that we play y'all know
Bout to make a billion without losin' my soul
Ain't nobody ever been promised tomorrow
So I stay strong and keep on on my road
And believe me, it ain't easy but my head's high
Focus on the game and pray that I fly
A rose from the concrete of a raw street
On your mark get ready my star is rising

N'est ce qu'une impression
Ou bien trop de pression domine ma raison
En aurais-je raison, avant qu'elle prenne possession
De mes plus viles pulsion. J'ai tant de frustrations
Si peu de satisfactions. Toujours en compétition
Pour faire valoir son opinion. Montrer sa détermination
Ou subir la domination. Sans accepter la démission
Et de cette obstination. Naît alors l'obsession
Et la pression s'empare de ma raison

It's a dirty game that we play y'all know
Bout to make a billion without losin' my soul
Ain't nobody ever been promised tomorrow
So I stay strong and keep on on my road
And believe me, it ain't easy but my head's high
Focus on the game and pray that I fly
A rose from the concrete of a raw street




On your mark get ready my star is rising
