Tonight, my brain is a mess and so is my heart
From giving it to anyone like my phone number
I told myself if there are people who can do it
That means I can do it too

Thank God I didn't listen to the bastards who made me doubt my friends
About my choices, about my relationship and about my verses
Because otherwise I would have sunk, the sky would have darkened
When someone clashes with me, I act like I didn't understand
Because frankly I don't give a damn
Now, I'm popping champagne and then I watch TV or when I have nothing to celebrate
I don't want to worry about things that aren't worth it
If fame calls me, I won't take the call
I pushed where all the balconies have satellite dishes
Where the state panics because two or three thugs steal
Money doesn't make happiness, I'd rather be sad and rich
I assure you poverty can make you hysterical
It's crazy what you can do with paper
Producing a 5 euro note costs 5 cents
A 1 cent coin costs 3 cents
Life is short, my neighbor almost died in a fire
I was small but I remember the details
The noise, the smell, the screams, the tears in the cold
At the foot of the block for hours with my sisters, hey

I was born on January 3rd, my father left twenty-eight days later
As if it was my birth that made him go crazy
I heard them screaming, my mother is the greatest of men
I know it was for us to get by that I saw her praying
Stop running after happiness
No more struggle, hundreds of round trips to Paris-East
There are only people I validate in the room
I don't regret any of my feature requests except for Rilès

Tonight, my brain is a mess and so is my heart
From giving it to anyone like my phone number
I told myself if there are people who can do it
That means I can do it too

I absolutely need to record the things I write
Because I won't take any of my verses to my grave
I grew up far from the sun, where the sky is gray
So, it turns no one on to end up in the shadows
If it doesn't work for me anymore, I'll change my voice, I'll never change my path
I'll never play a role, I have a hard time pretending, I have a hard time tempering myself
I think that's why I have hot blood even when I'm cold
I see myself again with a head full of dreams at the bottom of the stairs
There were only texts in my school notebooks
Barek told me, "if one day you reach the top it will be thanks to you
There are no people who let you win"
So if you think I'm doing ego trip rap you're wrong
I've known the fear of bailiffs, the lack of money, the shame
I get it, from your point of view it seems like ego trip
But everyone sees noon at their doorstep no matter the price of the watch

Tonight, my brain is a mess and so is my heart
From giving it to anyone like my phone number
I told myself if there are people who can do it
That means I can do it too
