The Supremes Lyrics

I make music for my people
I create music that speaks to the experiences and struggles of my community, because they are the ones I care about and represent through my art.

'Cause that's my people
I am dedicated to using my platform to uplift and amplify the voices of my community because they are the ones I identify with and want to support.

J't'explique que c'que j'kiffe
Let me explain what I enjoy - smoking and writing guitar riffs that are competitive and engaging.

C'est de fumer des spliffs
I love to smoke marijuana.

Et puis de construire des riffs qui soient compétitifs
I enjoy creating guitar riffs that are unique, captivating, and stand out in the competitive world of music.

Pouvoir faire de la musique tout en gardant mon éthique
I strive to create music that reflects my values and beliefs, and I am committed to maintaining my integrity and authenticity as an artist.

Faire du fric sans jamais tâcher l'image de ma clique
I want to make money without compromising the reputation or image of my community or the people I work with.

C'est fou! Mais c'est comme ça
It may seem crazy, but this is just how I feel and operate as an artist.

J'me nourris de ça
Creating and performing music is like food for my soul, and I need it to thrive and be happy.

J'ai besoin de ça, mon équilibre dépend de ça
My emotional and mental wellbeing are dependent on my ability to create and express myself through music.

J'suis sur le mic' mec, et puis j'aime ça
I am on the microphone and I love it - performing and sharing my music with others brings me joy and fulfillment.

J'aime quand ça fait "paw", quand ça vient d'en bas, et puis quand c'est pas
I enjoy creating music that has a raw, unpolished sound and comes from a place of authenticity - I don't want my music to sound overly produced or manufactured.

Peaufiné, léché, trop sophistiqué c'est pécher
I believe that music that is overly polished or sophisticated loses its soul and authenticity, and is therefore less impactful and meaningful.

Je préfère m'approcher de la vérité sans tricher
I want my music to be genuine and honest, without resorting to gimmicks or insincere tactics to gain popularity or success.

Sans jamais changer mon fusil d'épaule
I will always stay true to myself and my values, even if it means going against the mainstream or popular opinion.

Et puis garder mon rôle, tenir la taule
I will continue to fulfill my role as an artist, staying true to my values and creating music that reflects my community's experiences and struggles, regardless of any obstacles or challenges that come my way.

Rester en pôle position
I strive to stay ahead of the game and remain a leader in my industry.

Peu confortable, mais c'est pas grave, j'aime le challenge
Although it may be uncomfortable or difficult, I enjoy the challenge of pushing myself and my music to new heights.

Porter le maillot frappé du sceau de ceux qui dérangent est un honneur
It is an honor to proudly represent and speak up for those who are marginalized and oppressed in society, even if it means being seen as a troublemaker or outsider.

Pour moi, comme pour tous mes complices, mes compères, mes comparses
This sentiment is shared not only by me, but also by my fellow artists and collaborators.

Fatigués de cette farce
We are tired of the injustice and oppression that persists in society, and we are determined to use our music as a means of resistance and change.

On ne veut plus subir
We refuse to be victims and passive recipients of the injustices we face.

Et continuer à jouer les sbires
We will not continue to play the role of obedient subordinates who are willing to tolerate oppression in order to gain acceptance or success.

Sache que ce à quoi j'aspire
Know that what I strive for as an artist is to create music that empowers and uplifts my community, and speaks to their experiences and struggles.

C'est que les miens respirent
My ultimate goal is to create music that not only resonates with my community, but also gives them hope and the strength to persevere in the face of adversity.

À part fumer des spliffs
Aside from smoking marijuana, my favorite thing to do is to relax and spend time with my loved ones.

Mon premier kiff, c'est de chiller
My greatest joy comes from being able to unwind and enjoy the company of my friends and family.

Rester tranquille au sein des miens
I find peace and comfort in being around the people who know and love me best - my community and support system.

Me laisser aller à déballer des conneries
I enjoy letting loose and being silly around my loved ones, even if it means saying or doing things that may seem foolish or nonsensical to others.

Parler juste pour parler
Sometimes, the act of simply conversing and being in the presence of others is enough to bring me happiness and a sense of belonging.

Refaire le monde avec notre vision décalée
We enjoy engaging in discussions and debates about the world around us, and bringing our unique perspectives to the table.

On est des fous bloqués dans des cages d'escaliers
Despite our best efforts and aspirations, we often feel trapped and limited by our surroundings and circumstances.

Pris en otage par le nombre élevé de paliers
The numerous levels and barriers that exist in society often limit our opportunities and stifle our potential.

Et à la longue, mec, j't'assure, tout ça, ça pèse
Over time, these obstacles and challenges begin to take a toll on us mentally, emotionally, and physically.

96, je vois toujours des braises allumées
Despite the challenges we face, I still see a flame of hope and resilience burning in the eyes of the young people in my community.

Dans les yeux fatigués des gosses du quartier
Even though they may be tired and worn down by the injustices they face, I see a spark of determination and a desire for change in their eyes.

Passe passe le mic que je développe mes idées contaminées
Pass me the microphone, so that I can express and share my thoughts and ideas that have been influenced by the struggles and experiences of my community.

C'est vrai j'suis miné mais déterminé
Although I may be feeling down or discouraged at times, I am still committed to using my music to create positive change and uplift my community.

À ne jamais vraiment lâcher l'affaire, qu'est-ce que tu peux faire?
I am determined to never give up on my mission as an artist to create music that empowers and uplifts my community, no matter the obstacles.

J'suis pas là pour prendre des coups, ou bien même pour me taire
I refuse to be a passive victim or keep silent in the face of injustice - I will use my music to speak out and fight back.

Si le FN brandit sa flamme, j'suis là pour l'éteindre, c'est clair!
If the National Front (a far-right political party in France) tries to spread hate and intolerance, I will use my music to combat their message and promote love and acceptance instead.

Pas d'éclair de génie, juste un lyrics qui jaillit
I don't claim to be a genius or have all the answers - I simply let my lyrics flow and express my thoughts and feelings in the moment.

De mon esprit, dédicacé à mon posse
My lyrics come from my mind and are dedicated to my community and support system.

Construire est ma seule excuse au fait de prendre de l'âge
My greatest motivation as an artist is to create something meaningful and impactful, regardless of my age or other circumstances.

Si j'sens pas les miens autour de moi, putain, c'est le naufrage
If I don't feel supported or connected to my community, it feels like I am drowning and losing my sense of purpose as an artist.

Assuré, c'est vrai!
It's true and I am confident in my beliefs and values as an artist.

J'me sens rassuré, qu'en présence de ceux que j'aime
I find comfort and security in being around the people I love and who support me.

Je veux m'assurer que tout c'que j'balance soit approuvé
I want to make sure that everything I create and put out into the world is reflective of my values and is something that my community can stand behind and support.

Même si j'ai rien à prouver
I don't feel like I have to prove anything to anyone - I am simply doing what feels right and true to me as an artist.

Je veux que tous mes potes puissent s'y retrouver
I want my friends and peers to be able to relate to and connect with my music on a personal level.

Je veux pouvoir les garder près de moi, les regarder 12 mois par an
I want to keep my loved ones close to me and be able to appreciate them and spend time with them year-round.

Comme l'ont fait mes parents pour moi
This desire to maintain close relationships with my loved ones is something that was instilled in me by my parents and their example.

Parce qu'après c'est trop tard
I know from experience that it's easy to take the people we love for granted, but I also know that we must cherish and appreciate them while we still have them.

Faut pas comprendre qu'on les aimait, une fois qu'ils sont tis-par
We must express our love and appreciation for our loved ones while they are still with us, and not wait until it's too late to recognize their value and importance in our lives.

Ou bien, c'est qu't'as envie de pleurer
Otherwise, we will be left with regret and sadness, and the realization that we didn't fully appreciate the people who are most important to us.

Ou plutôt que tu sais pas!
It's better to recognize the importance of our loved ones while they are still with us, rather than regretting it after they're gone.

Dans ce cas, j'peux rien pour toi, j'ai pas la clé du bonheur
If you don't understand the importance of cherishing your loved ones, I can't help you - I don't hold the key to happiness or fulfillment.

J'ai même jamais été à la hauteur, pour ce genre de truc
I know that I haven't always lived up to this ideal of cherishing those close to me, but it's a goal that I strive for and something that I believe is important.

Mais aujourd'hui j'ai peur car l'horloge a tourné
Today, I am afraid because time is ticking by and I realize the importance of cherishing my loved ones before it's too late.
