Soleil levant Lyrics English Translation by Orelsan
Don’t worry, we’re sticking to the plan
I don’t know why you’re talking about GOATs
You’re not even the best in your shitty town (You’re trash)
You can quickly think you’re really hot when you only train with scrubs (It’s true)
Normally I don’t do the whole competition thing but they’re really gonna have to understand (What?)
Multiply your sales by three, you’ve got half of my first week (It’s true)
Before I had nothing to lose, I’m stronger now that it’s the opposite
Before I didn’t like love, before I didn’t know how to say I love you (It’s true)
I run to dodge my problems
But I run in circles so they come back
Life, it’s hard not to stay on the ground because someone screwed your mother (It’s sad)
Every day I turn down checks
One out of two times I accept one
I didn’t say I’m a fucking rebel
I said I write fucking lyrics
Music too loud in the car
I don’t know, maybe it’s a Mercedes
Your era of the mixtapes
At parties I slept on the back seat
How many times are you gonna say that I’m dead?
1, 2, 3, 4
It turns into a pogo, I’m on stage
1, 2, 3, 4
Now I know how to recognize twerking
They say that all the others are traitors
Vipers, snakes, pythons, boas, cobras, mambas, welcome to the game
Sorry, you’re not gang gang
Andromeda when I unleash
O-R-E-L-S-D-M
I’m entering my phase of the bullshit
They all have their noses in the white
It’s snowing, gotta put on chains
Nobody is afraid of what awaits them, until the light goes out
Grah
I turn the light back on with a glock
I start my verse with a “grah”
I started my artist career with a friend (ocho, ocho)
I start in the back, I finish in front
I’ll lock you down, I’ll do ten bucks for twenty
I slam this shit and the rising sun, and I’ll leave this world with a glass of wine (arhiba)
Yeah, foul on me, I’ll let you check the VAR
I’m aiming at you, I’ll let you check for death
I’ve got my hands in the dirt and on a gold disc (it’s real)
You want some cash, I can put you to work
Say my name, we’ll throw you a party
Who made you think you’d make it without working?
I start a verse when you were waiting for the chorus (yop)
When I’m in this one, I’m way too hot
Change the channel, you’ll still see my face
Six rings on my finger, I’m like Michael
Everybody wants to become an artist, influencer, or athlete
I can’t blame them, I did the same and I made it out
I thought I had climbed Everest, I was on a hill
Nothing to prove, I’m removing the labels from the stash
Too many toxic tweets, too many good things too
There’s a fine line between being a clown and a comic
They want me to blow up the concrete slab like John Wick
I wish for them to be happy so they’ll leave me alone because I’m selfish
