Booba - Couleur Ébène (English Translation) Lyrics
Ebony color, pain and grief
One day you laugh, One day, you cry
One day you’re alive, one day you die
Ebony color, pain and grief
[Verse 1]
Black and white, white and black
My host country
Applauded cursed, I puke on my page
I’ve seen everything, told nothing
Half-thug, Half-angel
I’m too far to come back, locked I grew up
I wanna be, and I’m gonna be
Today I don’t pray, it’s sunday…
I only have one life, the munchies
I only have one target, I only have one bullet
Good as my word, I’m just a man
I’m just a flame, I got just one woman
CEO of a label, nigga, I’m a light sleeper
If my life’s shit, don’t go think your’s better
Got it? It's 9.2, over here our anger is better
The sky plays hide-and-seek, fate gets old
Smoke hash to die, smoke hash to cure
[Chorus]
Ebony color, pain and grief
One day you laugh, One day, you cry
One day you’re alive, one day you die
Ebony color, pain and grief
A blade slash for cash, a call for a big Ice deal
It’s a drama in jail, fuck you up for a gram
I believed it when I saw, I learnt when I read
Pen, visiting room, like a dog, like a black man
Our hope is dough, real values are no more
It doesn't lead hapiness, neither does it lead to misfortune
Me I like when it's shiny, when it fires, when drugs are sold
Banlieue is dangerous, it isn’t written in the Bible
One day you cry, one day you laugh
B2O is my A.K.A, nobody will go where I'm going
If you have no reason to live for…
Find a reason to die for
I want you full of hatred 'cause I shine, I wanna hear it from you
May your queen be my bitch, may you fear the worst
Me I dream, I carry out even if I die misunderstood
Got lipstick on my dick, ink in my veins
Oil on my lips, my life is unhappily beautiful
Showers of happiness, cyclones of pain
[Outro]
One day you laugh, One day, you cry
One day you’re alive, one day you die
Ebony color, pain and grief
About
#Ebony Color
Ouest Side is the third album of Booba released on February 13, 2006. It was his first album to go platinum.
Elie Yaffa was born on December 9, 1976, in the outskirts of Paris in Sèvres. His father is Senegalese and his mother is French. He took the name of Booba, in honor of his Senegalese cousin named Boubacar.
He took his first steps in the music business with his friend Ali and together, they formed the duo Lunatic in 1994. Unable to secure a record deal from a major label because of their controversial lyrics, they created their own independent record label 45 Scientific in 1999. The following year, Lunatic released its first and only album entitled Mauvais œil, which was both a critical and commercial success.
