Probleme D'adulte Lyrics in English Sexion D'assaut

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Probleme D'adulte by Sexion D'assaut from French to English.
He's hooked up to machines
Nailed to his hospital bed
He tells his mother to trust the medicine
But in his heart, he's calling for help
He makes his little brothers believe
It's just a game
While he undergoes surgeries
Every fifteen days
He has less and less hair
Less and less breath
The hospital smell
The same bitter taste in his throat when he swallows
The doctors' incessant gibberish
Sentenced to death at 16
A child with adult problems
A child promised the moon
An innocent child, living
With adult problems
See you tomorrow guys, I have to go home
I have to tuck in my son
Between my teenage problems and him
I'm overwhelmed
The little one grows up and I'm not done
There will inevitably come a time when we won't connect
Unfortunately, his mother is no longer with us
My heart shouldn't hear what I say because it hurts
Mine helps me as best she can
She doesn't hear me when I tell her
"Mom, don't get involved"
My father left us alone
Without even checking if we had what we needed
Thrown into studies
I wanted to become a lawyer
Today I do crappy odd jobs
Here and there when I can
Basically, it's a hassle, I have to act
Because at seventeen, bro, I find myself head of the family
He cries every night
Omar's life is no longer the same
The fire took everything from him
Left him with just a wool sweater
Without them, nothing is the same
Alone and young, he must overcome his pain
He must bring in money, repatriate the bodies to the homeland
Before they rot
It would only worsen his hatred
By calling his cousins
He expects the worst
When it comes to money, that's where Satan operates
He relies on France
But clearly, the state doesn't care
About an African family that died in its apartment
A survivor of a fire
Left alive, he kills
At eighteen, Omar struggles
For the honor of his family
You're a big sister but to them
You're a mother
You left school early to become a temp worker
Used to washing
All your brothers' clothes
All the household expenses
Always on your dime
The hardest part in this situation
It's not my adult problems
But the roles reversing
I'm my father's father
I struggle to accept it
I'm in adult problems
Under a downpour
Drowning me in problems
A child, a child, a child
All household expenses
Always at your expense
The hardest part in this matter
It's not my adult problems
But the roles are reversed
I am my father's father
I'm having trouble getting used to it
I'm in adult problems
Under a downpour
Who drowns me in problems
Child with adult problems
A child who is promised the moon
A child with adult problems
An innocent child, alive
With adult problems
A child, a child, a child

SONG MEANING

“Problème d’adulte” is a powerful storytelling rap that shines a spotlight on kids who have been pushed far too early into the harsh world of grown-up worries. Across the verses we meet a 16-year-old boy fighting a fatal illness, a 17-year-old juggling school, odd jobs and single fatherhood, an 18-year-old survivor trying to pay for the burial of his family after a fire, and a big sister who becomes the head of the household. Each vignette shows a young soul who should be dreaming of video games and summer breaks, yet is instead negotiating hospital beeps, unpaid bills, and unbearable loss.

Through vivid details and raw emotion, Sexion D’assaut reminds listeners that these are still children: innocent, hopeful, and deserving of joy. The chorus hammers the point home by repeating the phrase “enfant avec des problèmes d’adultes” (“a child with adult problems”), urging society to notice the invisible weight on their shoulders. It is an anthem of empathy that calls us to protect youthful dreams and to question the systems that let innocence collide with such heavy burdens.
