Theym might need to fit in certain phrases with the melody. Hence the usage of English.

That's just my opinion.

Probably to help get English speaking people into the music. Here in Canada we are subjected to French Hip-Hop and a lot of the chorus' are in French in some sad attempt the get Anglos to listen to it.

I don't think it works.
