lyrics

Persévérance/French


Un jour / j’en ai eu marre d’être stressé / compressé
comme une orange pressée
j’me suis donc empresses /de chasser/ les mauvaises pensées
qui m’empêchaient d’progresser
ceci étant fait/ le fait qui fait que j’avance
s’appelle la persévérance
l’assurance/ la confiance
j’balance les rimes en abondance
je n’subit pas l’influence
des personnes qui m’entourent/des vautours
qui tentent tous les jours / de modifier mon par /cours
on a tellement tente d’me modeler/ d’me museler / de me rabaisser/ on m’a empêcher d’évoluer et de respirer
jusqu’à c’que j’en ai eu assez/ d’être sous estimé
pourtant je savais
que j’avais/ un talent latent
mais pour l’exploiter/ il a juste fallu du temps
d’tout façon/ j’ai toujours su /
que j’aurai / de la clientèle potentielle
et que je devlop’rait mon style en exponentiel (reverb)

chorus: la persévérance (huming..)

Konselediz/ je n’aime pas du tout qu’on me contrediz
Mon zephra/ je l’aiguiz a ma guiz
Et lorsque je freestyliz/ je prophetiz comme moise
Surtout quand je tease avec ease
C’est comme un quiz/ je me masturbaliz l’hypophyse
Je me déguise pour le bal de Venise
Pendant qu’mes rimes redressent la tour de Pise
La persévérance est ma devise/ alors vite/ donne moi ma friandiz de vocaliz/ avant que je frise la crise/ et que je m’enlise dans mon analyse/ il faut que je m’acclimatiz a l’instrumentaliz/
Et que j’utilise / ma matière grise/
sans que je baliz/ je suis le gâteau sur la ceriz/
j’écrit des franges/ qui dérangent /le verbe et l’analyse/
et quoi qu’on en dise dans ce biz/ y’aura toujours quelqu’un pour augmenter la mise/ car la persévérance est sa devise

(Refrain)

Alors is tu m’écoute/ que tu doute/ et que tu t’sens/ au 36 dessous/ comme quelqu’un / au bord de la bankrout
reprends-toi/ parce que personne n’a le droit/
de changer ta route/ ou de te traiter d’inférieur/
j’te dit ça en connaisseur/
C’est pas une tare /d’être un bourlingueur/ du moment qu’tu met du Cœur/ à l’ouvrage/ et cela /peux importe ton âge/
Car les bonnes choses arrivent a ceux/ qui savent attendre/
dans la vie/ Il faut savoir donner/ sans vouloir reprendre
Onesp t’le dit/ j’realise tout c’que j’veux entreprendre
Sans me méprandre /ou me répandre /dans des méandres
Car à l’évidence il faut que tu te rende/
J’pars d’en bas/ et croit moi/ j’compte monter /
et jamais redescendre/ et j’srai comme ça jusqu’à c’qu’on brûle mes cendres..


Perseverance/English


Perseverance/ rough and tough translation.

One day/ I got enough/ of being stressed out/ squeezed out like orange juice/
So I decided with haste/ to get rid of the bad thoughts/ that used to prevent me from progression/ so the next step/ that makes me come correct/ is called perseverance/
I got confidence and eloquence/ and I kick the rimes in abundance/
I don’t undergo the bad influence/ of people around me/ vultures that attempt everyday/ to modifie my path/ I’ve been so much undermined/ patronized/ shaped to the wrong image/ I was put under/ stopped from breathing and growing/I’ve been raped artistically/ until I got enough to be underestimated/ still I knew that I had a hidden talent/ to make it profitable/ it was just a question of time/ anyway/ I’ve always knew that I would get clientele/ and that I would develop my style to the fullest

Chorus:

Perseverance is my principle
So I got to rhyme with ease
I don’t need no prophet or guru
I just got to come correct and do what I do
And just wanna be the best that I can be
Because only good things come to those who wait
Because only good things come to those who wait
I

Believe that/ I don’t like being cut off/ my flow I sharpen to my convenience/
And when I freestyliz/ I prophetize as moses/ especially when I’m drunk and high/
It’s like a quiz/ I masturbate my hypophysis/ I put my disguise ready for venise bal/
While my rhymes are putting the tower of pisa back in place/ perseverance is my principle/ so quick, I want my vocals dedicacies/ and before I go bananas/ and I get stuck in my analysis/ I need to get used to the instrumentaliz/ and utilise my grey cells/ keep my cool/ coz I’m the cheery on top of the cake/ I write fringes / that are tickling the verb analysis/ and no matter what they say /in this bizness/
There will always be someone to raise the standards/ because is principle is perseverance…

Chorus

So if you’re listening to me/ and you have doubts/ feelin’ down and out/ like someone close to bankruptcy/ get your act together/ because no one has the right/ to change your ways/ or to treat you as inferior/ I say that to you as a mentor/ it’s not an odditie/ to be a drifter/ if you makes your hand sweat/ to change your fate/ and no matter your age/ coz/ good things come to those who wait/ in life/ u have to give to get/ onesp is straight/ I accomplish all I want/ with no shorts/ or no mistakes/ you got to understand/ I come from the bottom/ and trust me/ I intend to be on top of the stairs/ and never come back down gain/and I’ll be like that till I become ashes again, aiight!
