[Verse 1]
Hell is empty, from what I've heard they're all in MTL
That's where I live, born between these bricks that damage our hoods
We lost shine in the streets where we fight for luxury, it's always grey
To get out of them, you have to be sharp, I even pick up what's left on the scale
I have not lost anything except people
A lot of time due to a prison sentence
Some stressful moments but I haven't lived through hard times (In jail)
The aftermath of our lifestyle messes up our spirits
All loathsome, over here you're the insane one or the smart one
Respect comes when no one thinks you're dumb
Fear comes when you go crazy and no one tells you you're insane
Some are excited to die giving the impression to be brave
I tell you, they're going to stop acting like thugs the day they receive love
It's your true nature that'll win, when it's in your DNA, it's either the streets or the morgue
Either hoes, fraud or drugs
We hate receiving orders, we probably joked with your dealer's plug
We like to show off, it shows when we get money in MTL

[Chorus]
In MTL, in MTL
I'm talking about Montreal
In my hood we say normal from the east
And let go of your show business 'cause here each neighbourhood has it's own celebrities
Street legends who left us or are planning to kill themselves
After we come up, watch how we act
Come watch our stress and gains, our losses, our glories and our wars in Montreal, in Montreal, in Montreal
[Verse 2]
In Montreal, Villa-Maria, do you believe in God ?
Over here, it's impossible to be black in a nice car without the cops pulling up
Systemic racism from Berri to Martial, the cops are bothering us
The medias are ruthless, hard on pimpin' trying to break the charm
The game is old school, it's not a scoop, I don't hear any S.O.S
Only scouts talking but the clients worry you
It's not them who complain, it's them who pay
You gotta pay for your team to win
I love Montreal like Tim Raines
After hitting a lick, it looks like my Timberlands are bleeding
Those who think big but see the city as too small are in an optical illusion
I let go of toxic people and their gossip
Over here we chill around what gives you minimum three years in prison just because we want to go drink
Since I had a charge, they won't get me without going on the run
From what I've heard, here we have sexy women, picky rap fans
A lot of people aren't mentally stable, if you bother them they'll stab you
On the spot, it's not complicated, get as high as the suicide rate
We say the block is hot when it's time to hunt so there's no time to lack, don't be stupid you know

[Chorus]
I'm talking about Montreal
In my hood we say normal from the east
And we don't let stress consume us, we take responsibility for what we do
Put fragrance on our wounds so they heal, fight racism through light skins
Artist and monks, graffiti artists, my verses cover the wall of sound
And accomplishing my only mission, to rep the city the right way in MTL, in MTL
