I put words on a notebook
I put words that I sorted
I was hoping to get caught
I put words that I shouted
I put words in your ears
Or emotions, it's the same
In your theaters and your speakers
I put words like a footprint
I put words everywhere
Redistributed blow by blow
I don't even know where I put them
I put words, I didn't moan
I put words but never too many
In a subway, in a microphone
I put words, I was hungry
New words, retro words
I put words to compensate
I don't have the destiny we thought
But by going over the past
We can trace without erasing
I put words, I didn't slander
I put do's, I emit mi's
Whole words, not halves
I put words from Saint-Denis
I put words that I brooded over
I tried to make them groove
Without hindrance and nothing to prove
Without drooling, everything to find
Words go fast, we have to hang on
I took the tempo to the hook
It's not to fill my pockets
Because all these words are for my loved ones
And when the music accompanies
The words sparkle like champagne
And the best, don't deny it
It's on a harmonica tune

I put words, do you believe it
The first time in 2003
I forgot the detractors
I put words, it's my 10 years
I put words, I have reasons
Guilty of combinations
And I create without comparison
Horizons every season
In many countries I put words
Berlin, Quebec or Bamako
I even found words on the way
I put words all the way to Beirut
I put words in all directions
Upside down, to effervescence
Nice words or angry ones
Straight words or in trouble
I put words, it's derisory
Sometimes sharp, they're razors
But well placed, it's opportune
I put words, it's important
I found inspiration
To inspire my directions
To continue without tension
I take my breath again

All these words, they make encounters
I realize, I'm not against it
I put words to infinity
I didn't fail, it's not over
I put words, I move people
I make wishes, never urgent
I put some of me, I put some of you
Emotions from our meetings
And when the music accompanies
The words sparkle like champagne
And the best, don't deny it
It's on a harmonica tune
