| Ils voulaient qu’je reste sur le pallier
| They wanted me to stay on the landing
|
| Sur moi personne voulait parier
| On me nobody wanted to bet
|
| Ils m’voyaient déjà dans un tiroir
| They already saw me in a drawer
|
| Mais j’voulais chanter une autre histoire
| But I wanted to sing another story
|
| J’voulais porter ma banlieue sur le grand écran
| I wanted to wear my suburb on the big screen
|
| Ils m’ont dit t’es pas d’la famille renoi laisse bétom
| They told me you're not from the renoi family leave it betom
|
| Désirs bruyants
| Loud desires
|
| Du mal à dormir et en m’réveillant
| Trouble sleeping and waking up
|
| Toujours le même, je m’suis dis toi t’es plutôt du genre à mourir en essayant
| Always the same, I said to myself, you're more the type to die trying
|
| Challenger, challenger, challenger
| Challenger, challenger, challenger
|
| Challenger, toute ma vie j’ai du challenger
| Challenger, all my life I had to challenge
|
| Challenger, challenger, challenger
| Challenger, challenger, challenger
|
| Challenger, toute ma vie j’ai du challenger
| Challenger, all my life I had to challenge
|
| J’suis resté debout, j’suis resté debout
| I stayed up, I stayed up
|
| J’suis resté debout, j’suis resté debout, j’suis resté debout
| I stayed up, I stayed up, I stayed up
|
| J’suis resté debout, j’suis resté debout, j’suis resté debout
| I stayed up, I stayed up, I stayed up
|
| J’suis resté debout, j’suis resté debout, j’suis resté debout
| I stayed up, I stayed up, I stayed up
|
| J’suis resté debout
| I stayed up
|
| Nos rêves de valeurs enfermés
| Our dreams of values locked away
|
| Il a fallu vraiment trimer
| It really took some work
|
| Debout contre vents et marées
| Standing against thick and thin
|
| Challenger, challenger, toute ma vie j’ai du challenger

| Ils voulaient qu’je reste sur le pallier
| They wanted me to stay on the landing
|
| Ils m’ont prit pour un fou à lier
| They took me for a madman
|
| Mais ils me restais encore des balles dans le barillet
| But I still had bullets left in the barrel
|
| S’ils prennent l’ascenseur alors j’prendrais l’escalier
| If they take the elevator then I would take the stairs
|
| Toujours un RER d’avance
| Always one RER ahead
|
| C’est nous la banlieue
| We are the suburbs
|
| On fait la mode et on défait les tendances
| We make fashion and we break trends
|
| Cramé en haut lieu
| Burnt in high places
|
| Ça fais longtemps qu’on ne calcule même plus c’qu’ils pensent
| It's been a long time since we even calculated what they think
|
| On est audacieux
| We are bold
|
| On a pas l’temps on a grandit dans l’urgence
| We don't have time, we grew up in a hurry
|
| On a grandit dans l’urgence
| We grew up in a hurry
