Lyrics and translation Tony Parker feat. Jamie Foxx - L'Effet Papillon

L'Effet Papillon

Well, well
Tony P, Tony
Ouh, oui
Yeah, c'est ma vie et rien d'autre

La vie est faite de détails à la base
Avant d'avoir un ballon dans les mains
J'l'avais dans les pied comme Thithi ou Zidane (Et Zidane)
Déjà numéro neuf à l'époque, j'kiffais mettre des buts pendant les matchs
La vie est drôle et bizarre, telle est mon histoire
À cause ou grâce à Jordan (Oh), maintenant j'brille dans le noir
Année 91 la date clé, il est trois heures du mat', je m'emballe (Je m'emballe)
Les Bulls sont champions pour la première fois
Ce soir là, j'ai su qu'le basket serait ma voie (Ma voie)
Combien de shoots, combien de tés-je j'ai dû mettre dans le mille avant d'effleurer les cieux? (Trop)
Point d'départ, l'INSEP en 97, quinze ans mais déjà focus sur le game (Yeah, yeah)
J'apprends les bases, je fais mes classes (Ouh), quatre ans plus tard, me voici à la draft

Lean back [???] what we used to
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to
We are the national hustlers, all the girls wanna buss with us
I'ma [???]
Lean back [???] what we used to (That's what we used to)
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to (Black diamonds baby)
We are the national hustlers (International), all the girls wanna buss with us (Oh)
I'ma [???]

La vie est faite de détails (La vie est faite de détails)
Tony, let them know what you're talking about
La vie est faite de détails, la mienne: un grand défi
J'voulais planer dans les airs, être le premier Frenchie (Frenchie)
À fouler les terrains de NBA, j'en ai usé de la gomme sous les paniers
Dieu m'a donné ce don et je le sais, le basket, la vitesse
Mes talents je m'en sers (Je m'en sers)
Les yeux ouverts, la tête sur les épaules, les clés d'la réussite sont dans mes paumes
J'ai su rester moi (Moi), je sais qui je suis (Suis), je sais d'ou je viens (Viens), je sais ou je vais
Avant les matchs j'écoute Biggie et Pac, Victory, All Eyez On Me, c'est dans la boite
Le Rap (Rap) fait partie de ma life, aujourd'hui je prend le mic' c'est pas une blague, Gametime (Gametime) (Gametime, yeah, yeah)
Tony P au machine, j'irai jusqu'au bout, le ciel comme seule limite

Lean back [???] what we used to
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to
We are the national hustlers, all the girls wanna buss with us
I'ma [???]
Lean back [???] what we used to
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to
We are the national hustlers, all the girls wanna buss with us
I'ma [???]

The Butterfly Effect

Well, well
Tony P, Tony
Ouh, oui
Yeah, this is my life and nothing else

Life is made of small things at the base
Before having a ball in my hands
I had it in my feet like Thithi or Zidane (And Zidane)
Already number nine at the time, I loved to score goals during matches
Life is funny and strange, such is my story
Because or thanks to Jordan (Oh), now I shine in the dark
Year 91 the key date, it is three o'clock in the morning, I get excited (I get excited)
The Bulls are champions for the first time
That night, I knew that basketball would be my way (My way)
How many shots, how many tests have I had to put in the net before touching the sky? (Too many)
Starting point, INSEP in 97, fifteen years old but already focused on the game (Yeah, yeah)
I learn the basics, I do my classes (Ouh), four years later, here I am at the draft

Lean back [???] what we used to
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to
We are the national hustlers, all the girls wanna buss with us
I'ma [???]
Lean back [???] what we used to (That's what we used to)
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to (Black diamonds baby)
We are the national hustlers (International), all the girls wanna buss with us (Oh)
I'ma [???]

Life is made of small things (Life is made of small things)
Tony, let them know what you're talking about
Life is made of small things, mine: a big challenge
I wanted to glide through the air, be the first Frenchie (Frenchie)
To tread the NBA courts, I wore out the rubber under the baskets
God gave me this gift and I know it, basketball, speed
I use my talents (I use them)
Eyes open, head on my shoulders, the keys to success are in my hands
I knew how to stay myself (Myself), I know who I am (I am), I know where I come from (I come from), I know where I am going
Before the games I listen to Biggie and Pac, Victory, All Eyez On Me, it's in the box
Rap (Rap) is part of my life, today I take the mic it's not a joke, Gametime (Gametime) (Gametime, yeah, yeah)
Tony P on the machine, I will go all the way, the sky as the only limit

Lean back [???] what we used to
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to
We are the national hustlers, all the girls wanna buss with us
I'ma [???]
Lean back [???] what we used to
Chang a Lang, black diamonds, what we glue to
We are the national hustlers, all the girls wanna buss with us
I'ma [???]
