Normal
Niro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a grandi à l'écart
Normal, normal
On a grandi à l'écart, normal
J'patiente au fond du tribunal
Le procureur nous voulait du mal
Et nous aussi on voulait qu'il dorme mal, normal
Bientôt j'vais tailler comme Badara Ousmane
Mais pour l'instant, j'suis là, j'suis bon qu'à faire du sale, normal
Soyez pas étonnés, seuls les vrais savent
Le succès des 'tasses on a pas rêvé d'ça
Tu veux rester trop sah, la peine est colossale, normal
Des livres et un schlass dans mon cartable
Pour tes parents, j'étais pas fréquentable
J'ai plus envie d'rafaler dans l'tas, normal, normal
On a grandi à l'écart, normal, normal
On s'est senti à l'écart, normal, normal
Poto, j'suis trop néfaste, normal
On a grandi au milieu des cafards
Chez nous la drogue a fait des ravages
C'est pas l'genre de souvenir qu'on efface, normal
Faut faire des sous, faut pas qu'ils nous fassent
On va sûrement crever avant qu'on s'refasse
Ouais poto, la rue c'est pile ou face, normal
Mais avant j'mets mes deux fils en place
Parce que demain gros la rue me remplace
Le corps intact mais le cœur est dans l'plâtre, normal
J'veux péter l'million avec des phrases
Investir des euros sur mes braves
J'ai plus envie d'rafaler dans l'tas, normal, normal
J'sors le calibre pour mes gars, normal, normal
On a grandi à l'écart, on a grandi dans l'tas
On a rafalé dans l'tas, on a rafalé dans l'tas
On a grandi à l'écart, on a grandi à l'écart
On s'est senti à l'écart, normal, normal
Ouais ouais, normal
J'sors le calibre pour mes gars
Normal, normal
Normal
Normal
In Niro's song "Normal," the lyrics talk about growing up isolated and feeling like outsiders in society. The first verse describes waiting in court for a trial against the prosecutor, who they also wish to suffer just as they have suffered. The lyrics then transition to talk about the desire to become successful, but currently being caught up in doing wrong. The line "seuls les vrais savent" (only the real ones know) emphasizes the idea that only those who have gone through similar struggles can understand the difficulties of their situation.
The second verse begins by repeating that they grew up isolated and surrounded by drugs. The lyrics mention the importance of making money and not letting others get in their way. The line "la rue c'est pile ou face" (the street is heads or tails) highlights the unpredictability of their environment and how their fate seems to lie entirely in luck. The verse ends by discussing the desire for the future generation to have a better upbringing and for the singer to succeed financially and invest in their community.
Overall, the song captures the harsh realities of growing up in rough environments and the struggles that come with trying to succeed despite all odds, all while recognizing that their experiences are unfortunately "normal".
