Dinos - 93 mesures (English Translation) paroles de (lyrics)

I cannot go to marabou because
I'm afraid of God
I cannot go the the therapist
Because I'm from the hood
I've got many stupid principles that
I've got to respect when they ask me why?
I answer "that's the way we
Do it in the hood"

A little bit innocent, a little bit guilty
Every police control brings me closer
To my featuring with Tupac in my dreams
A lot of demons and crop circles
For sure I won't do anything, I stay solid
Like coffins
I would love to tell you that I'm all yours
That I love you and that
Everything will be new
But all of Africa knows that no
Man stays faithful for life
I'm getting crazy


I see happy people everywhere
Either way love is not meant for me
Or I am not made for love
I come from a continent and
A country that bleeds
When violence is not enough
To resolve conflict, we use black magic

We are who we are with
We attract what we have in common
If you're surrounded by motherfuckers
That means you're one of them too
Before, I wanted to change
Now, I accept who I am
I paint to kill time like Salvador Dali
I've lost myself, it's undeniable
I'm from Cameroon
A family name from there and a slave name

My memories hurt, thinking hurts, I
Think of all the flaws
All the money badly spent
Before, I thought that I prayed but then
I grew up and I understood
That all I did was reciting sentences
That I had learnt by heart
My style is bipolar my pen is crying
I'm old enough to think, I want
Respect I don't want to please
People anymore
At our age, the road is still long
And I lie like a cop when
I say that I am outraged, that's bad
Even a broken heart can give love
Like a broken clock gives the right time
2 times a day
I fell from the truck or the ship
We make dying easy

When we make our lives
Complicated but happiness
Finds it'self it the simple things
The mood is down, yeah
I close my eyes and look around with my ears
I need to talk to someone but I'm
Way too proud to admit it
For how long have we been fleeing? For
How long have we been running?
For how long have we been lying? For
How long have we been suffering?
Head in the clouds
I see the stars calming me
On the roof of a building, you and I
Trapped in a spider web
We do what grown up people
Do when they're naked
Forgetting that most of the kids are unwanted

Maybe he'll have your eyes
Maybe he'll have my looks
Maybe he'll have my voice
He'll have your nose
But we'll never know because we'll give
Him back to the sky
He travels without a visa
That's ironic but there is nothing like
Family in the family plan
Few truths and so many lies
And now I'm whispering because I don't
Want God to hear me
I talk more about God than I talk to Him
I came alone but we'll leave together
I'm so resentful, I'm, I'm, I'm so resentful

I forgave those who hurt me when I saw
That those whom I hurt forgave me
I go to work in my car, I cry Chardonnais
Stop whining
I'm afraid of the final judgement
But I'm living my life
Don't ever talk to me like I'm
Still the Dinos from Imany
Inanimate corpses, the Human lacks humanity
Even God makes nobody unanimous
Wide nostrils
France is afraid of me even though I'm
The nice guy in the hood
Leaving the door open is even
Worse than slamming it
But happiness finds it's way in simple things
(happiness is in simple things)
Everyday I sin and bring myself even lower
I believe in God but I'm not sure
That He still believes in me

I say "He" but maybe it's a woman
Maybe it's a wave maybe it's a soul
(So many things to say but I don't
Know who to say them to
Sometimes I'd like to leave
But it's forbidden) i wonder who makes laws
Just remembered
It's those who don't respect them
I remember concussions as a way to go
The more I get older
The more trouble I have
Dealing with my emotions
Life scares me like a
Desert Eagle, like death
Like an Algerian person screaming

They gave me less but promised way more
So I came back to spit
Fire like I'm Prometheus
I think about what we were when
I look at the stars
Happiness doesn't come your way
It comes from you slow down a little
You're driving way too fast
I remembered when I prayed for
Everything that I've got today
Simple things, Happiness is in simple things
Yeah why am I loosing myself? Why
Am I getting down?
What does the small minds do
When the big minds meet?
Simple things, happiness is in simple things
If everything would go wrong
I'd stop praying
Because if God gave me everything I wanted
I would use it the wrong way
Simple things, Amen
