Lyrics
Akhnaton
Petit frre n’a qu’un souhait devenir grand
C’est pourquoi il s’obstine jouer les sauvages ds l’ge de dix ans
Devenir adulte avec les infos comme mentor
C’est clater les tronches de ceux qui ne sont pas d’accord
A l’poque o grand frre tait gamin
On se tapait des dlires sur blanche neige et les sept nains
Maintenant les nains ont gicl Blanche neige et tapent, clatent
Des types claquent dans mortal combat
A treize ans il aime dj l’argent
Avide mais ses poches sont arides
Alors on fait le cad dans des boums
Qui sont dsormais des soires, plus de sirop Teisseire
Petit frere veut des bires, je ne crois pas que c’tait volontaire
La ruse c’est certains indirectement montrer que faire le mal c’est bien
Demain ses cahiers seront pleins de ratures
Petit frre fume de spliffs et casse des voitures
A: Petit frre a dsert les terrains de jeux
S: Il marche peine et veux des bottes de sept lieux
Both: Petit frre veut grandir trop vite
Mais il a oubli que rien ne sert de courir, petit frre
Scratchs: «Life as a shorty shouldn’t be so rough…»
Shurik’n
Petit frre rve de bagnoles, de flingues et de tunes
De rputation de dur, pour tout a il volerait la lune
Il collectionne les mfaits sans se soucier du mal qui est fait
Tout en demandant du respect
Peu lui importe de quoi demain sera fait
Et donn certains des raisons de mpriser son cadet
Dans sa tte le rayonnement du tube cathodique
Etouffer les vibrations des tam-tams de l’Afrique
Plus de cartable, il ne saurait pas quoi en faire
Il ne joue plus au bille, il veut jouer du revolver
Petit frre jeter ses soldats pour devenir un guerrier
Penser au butin qu’il va amasser
Voice:
Akhnaton
Les journalistes font des modes
La violence l’cole existait dj de mon temps
Les rackets, les bastons, les dgts,
Les coups de battes dans les pare brises des tires des instituteurs
Embrouilles coups de cutter
Mais en parler au journal tous les soirs a devient banal
S’imprgne dans la rtine comme situation normale
Et si petit frre veut faire parler de lui
Il ritre ce qu’il a vu avant huit heures et demi
Merde, en quatre vingt c’tait ses tats de faits
Mais l ces journalistes ont fait des tats
Et je ne crois pas que petit frre soit pire qu’avant
Juste surexpos la pub, aux actes violents
Pour les grandes causes et le meilleur citron
La cible numro un, le terrain de produits de consommation
Et pour tre sur il s’en procure
Petit frre s’assure flingue la ceinture
Shurik’n
On sait ce que tu es quand on voit ce que tu possdes
Petit frre le sait et garde ce fait en tte
L’argent lui ouvrirait les portes sur un ciel azur
Aussi facilement que ses tournevis ouvrirait celles des voitures
Le grand standing est tout ce dont il a envie
a passe mieux quand tu porte Giorgio Armani
Soucieux du regard des gens malgr son jeune ge Petit frre fume pour paratre plus grand
Il voudrait prendre l’autoroute de la fortune
Et ne se rend pas compte qu’il pourrait y laisser des plumes
Il vient peine de sortir de son њuf
Et dj petit frre veut tre plus gros que le bњuf
Lyrics translation
Akhnaton
Little frre has only one wish to become big
That's why he stubbornly plays the wild ds the age of ten
Become an adult with the info as a mentor
It's clap the faces of those who disagree
A l'opque O grand frre Tait kid
We were banging on dlires about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Now the dwarves have GICL Snow White and bang, bang
Guys slamming into mortal combat
At thirteen he loves dj money
Greedy but his pockets are arid
So we do the cad in boums
Which are now evenings, more Teisseire syrup
Little brother wants me, I don't think it was voluntary
Cunning is some indirectly show that doing evil is good
Tomorrow his notebooks will be full of scraps
Little frre smokes spliffs and breaks cars
A: small frre has dsert the playgrounds
S: he walks trouble and want boots from seven places
Both: Little frre wants to grow too fast
But he forgot that there's no use running, little brother
Scratchs: "Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough…»
Shurik'n
Small frre rve of cars, guns and tunes
Of rputation of hard, for everything he would fly the moon
He collects the deeds without worrying about the harm that is done
While asking for respect
He doesn't care what tomorrow will be made of
And donn some of the reasons to mprise his cadet
In its tte the radiation of the cathodic tube
Muffle the vibrations of Africa's tam-tams
No more satchel, he wouldn't know what to do with it
He doesn't play ball anymore, he wants to play revolver
Little brother throw his soldiers to become a warrior
Thinking about the loot he's going to amass
Voice:

Journalists make fashions
Violence the cole existed dj of my time
Rackets, sticks, dgts,
The blows of bats in the windshields of the shots of the teachers
Tangles cutter strokes
But talking about it to the newspaper every night has become commonplace
Is imbued in the rtine as normal situation
And if little frre wants to talk about him
He laughs at what he saw before eight and a half
Shit, in eighty it was his tats of facts
But l these journalists have made tats
And I don't think little frre is any worse than before
Just overexposed the ad, to violent acts
For great causes and the best lemon
The target number one, the field of consumer products
And to be on it gets
Small frre makes sure to gun the belt
Shurik'n
You know what you are when you see what you have
Little frre knows it and keeps this fact in tte
The money would open the doors to him on an azure sky
As easily as his screwdrivers would open those of cars
The great standing is all he craves
a looks better when you wear Giorgio Armani
Concerned about the look of people despite his young age little frre smokes for paratre bigger
He would like to take the highway of fortune
And does not realize that he could leave feathers there
He just barely got out of his car.
And dj petit frre wants to be bigger than the Ox
