Iam - Petit Frere [english Subtitles] translation to english of the song "petit frere" from the french rap band iam.
sorry for the grammatics and vocabulary mistakes that can be in it, it's really hard for me to translate from french to english.
----------lyrics----------
little brother has one wish: growing up
that's why he became wild at the age of 10
becoming an adult with the tv news as mentor
means breaking faces of the ones who don't agree with you
at the time when big brother was a child
we had fun with snow-white and the seven dwarfs
but now the dwarfs have kicked and beaten up the snow-white
and are bursting and fighting people in mortal kombat
at the age of 13 he began to love money
but the pockets are empty, so he acts as a pimp
in the parties which are now all nights long, no more syrup
little brother want beers
i don't think it was deliberate, but sure, the adults
have indirectly shown him that acting evil is good
tomorrow his notebooks will be full of deletions
little brother smokes joints and breaks cars
little brother deserted playgrounds
he just learned how to walk but he already wants the seven mile boots
little brother wants to grow up too fast
but he forgot that "slow and steady wins the race", little brother
little brother dreams about car, clothes and money
he wants the reputation of a bad boy and for that he could steal the moon
he makes collection of misdemeanours without wondering about the pain he causes
and asks for respect in the same time
he doesn't care about tomorrow
giving people reasons to despise him
in his head the light of a crt
makes the vibration of african drums disappear
he doesn't have a school bag any more; anyway he wouldn't know what to do with it
he doesn't play marbles any more, he prefers playing with guns
he trashed his little soldiers to become a warrior
and thinks about the money he'll earn
little brother deserted playgrounds
he just learned how to walk but he already wants the seven mile boots
little brothers wants to grow up too fast
but he forgot that "slow and steady wins the race", little brother
journalists create fashion; violence at school existed before
when i was young there were rackets, punch-ups and damages
the teachers' windshields were being broken with a baseball bat
and they were getting muddled with a cutter
but speaking about it every night in the tv news makes it become banal
in retina it already became a normal situation
and if little brother wants an ephemeral glory
he just has to repeat what he saw in the news before 8:30 p.m.
shit, in the eighties it was facts
but now these journalists made normality out of it
and i don't think that little brother is worse than before
just overexposed to the advertisement and the violence
for the old, the young are the best lemon
the target number one for consumption
and to be sure that he provides
little brother has an insurance: a gun behind the belt
people know who you are when they see your possessions
little brother keeps this fact in mind
money will open the door of heaven for him
as easily as his screwdriver opens the door of cars
major standing is all what he wants
and looks better in a giorgio armani
he wonders how people see him
in spite of his young age, little brother smokes to appear older
he wanted to drive the "fortune express way"
and didn't realise that he can leave feathers
he's just out of his egg
and little brother wants to be bigger than a bull
little brother deserted playgrounds
he just learned how to walk but he already wants the seven mile boots
little brothers wants to grow up too fast
but he forgot that "slow and steady wins the race", little brother+9.86
