Au lieu de le porter \u00e0 ta m\u00e8re tu le portes \u00e0 une idiote<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of keeping it for your mom, you keep it for some stupid girl<\/span>

But for me you are, because you’re tanned whereas she’s all pale<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c0 part elle, personne supporte ton \u00e9go\u00efsme permanent<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
