Does anyone have any books, websites, etc., that happens to have a list of commonly used phrases or idioms in colloquial French? I ask because I've been listening to a fair share of French music lately, but they often use words and phrases that I have trouble finding anywhere, and certainly won't find in a dictionary. I also hate having to ask around all the time. Once in a while is okay, but I'd prefer to have a resource as well. It's kind of disheartening because I thought I knew French pretty well and yeah, I don't. Lol.

So if anyone has anything, I'd greatly appreciate it. Seriously.

Où tous les perroquets ne vivent plus en cage
Des jaunes, des verts, des blancs, je fais ce qui me plait
Car c'est comme ça que j'imagine un monde parfait...

Is it rap that you're listening to?

French rap is the BEST.

You smiled the whole way through it,
I guess maybe that's what's worse.

Can't really find any good sites on the net but I saw a couple of good books around, if you're willing to buy them. Just Google it.
