Ma Direction Lyrics in English Sexion D'Assaut

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ma Direction by Sexion D'Assaut from French to English.
Intro
We do not claim to be role models for the kids
Nor for anyone else
We just want to say that
The bridge to success
Intro
Is a fragile bridge
I asked for forgiveness without being granted it
I asked for my path without being shown it
I traded my studies for a platinum record
Knowing that sooner or later your audience will trample you
I saw things on a large scale, I have time, I have talent
I stay on my guard, I am only a man
It captures my image in Canon 7D
I do all this for myself, those who doubt, and my mom
I lost my temper
I left school
If only you knew
All the pain I keep
It's my direction
I lost my temper, without giving up or backing down
No news, low battery, curse
From now on, I'm moving forward, it's my direction
My direction
I avoided the ringing, the noise of chairs
I was looking for a different kind of wealth
From Anne Frank's diary to Bridget's
I never liked reading since I was 12
Despite the erasures, I scratch the paper
It's my direction, I didn't scatter
Dumped more than once, back against the wall
Too proud to ask for help from social welfare
The guys as family, the stage as a goal
Hindered by the sons of shhhut
I remember that originally
We didn't even want to make money
It was dirty rap
When we all crowded at Blanc's place
You don't know hypocrites, it's the real deal
I was writing in the hallway before breaking my back
Today all this wouldn't make sense
Without all these sacrifices, without all this patience
It's my direction
I lost my temper
Without giving up or backing down
No news, low battery, curse
From now on, I'm moving forward
It's my direction, my direction
I recall the clashes, rap contests, the hassle
In the street, rap is abundant
They even skip going to nehess
For a 16, my guys attack you
Only the kicking soothes us
Our voices, our hands rise
When the dirty cops put us down
The dream is at our feet so we sleep head to toe
We swim in wealth
But our lips remain dry
I want to live off my homeland
Because all the jobs displease me
We were only seeking recognition
We didn't want to talk about money
Now we kick out the hassle
Even if our pasts host it
They want to buy cars
Enter the US market
If we struggled so much
It's to be a hit in the end
To really impress the haters
Who wanted to make us fail
But I quit that job
To move mountains better
Result, my faith decreases
My mistakes are countless
Don't search too much for the light
The sun burns your skin
Yeah, success smokes you, you barely even puff on it
It's my direction
I lost my temper
Without giving up or backing down
No news, low battery, curse
From now on, I'm moving forward, it's my direction
My direction
F work, a vocational diploma doesn't pay
With the guys, for rap, we stay up late
Despite the overdrafts, the dirty bosses
I left everything for conquering the stages, let's go
A suicidal project, it either works or we break
And you follow us if you love it, bro
Determined, we go to the front without armor
And the more down-to-earth say
That we're heading for a wall
The parents don't know what I do, they say I sleep
They think their son is always out, living outside
Without knowing that this little brat is preparing gold records
And all those who neglect him are more than wrong
I know where I'm going, without knowing if I'll be welcome
I'm not invited and I'm accompanied by UFOs
I'm heading towards glory and problems
Music is a problematic woman
But damn, I love her too much
It's my direction
I lost my temper
Without giving up or backing down
No news, low battery, curse
From now on, I'm moving forward, it's my direction
My direction
You're screwed if you fail, in your situation
Screwed if you fail in your situation

SONG MEANING

Imagine locking eyes with your dreams, quitting school, draining your phone battery, and still shouting "I won’t back down". Ma Direction is Sexion D’Assaut’s rallying cry for every underdog who swaps textbooks for beat-making, steady paychecks for late-night studio sessions, and comfort for the fragile bridge to success. Through punchy verses, the group confesses their doubts, family tensions, and money struggles, yet they never sugar-coat the thrill of chasing a platinum record while friends film it all on a Canon.

At its heart, the song is a fearless declaration of self-chosen destiny. The rappers look back on cramped rap battles, empty wallets, and sceptics who told them they were heading straight into a wall. Instead of folding, they turn each setback into motivation, promising to push forward no matter how risky the path. Ma Direction reminds listeners that the road to glory is shaky, fame can burn like the sun, and sacrifices pile up—but if you keep your compass fixed on passion, every scar becomes proof you moved in the right direction.
