I wanted to become a legend, I've always loved people
I used to steal pogs from my friends and behind their backs, I would trade them
I've always wanted to sing, always wanted to change
It took me a while to understand that I was in danger
My family's education is not military
With my sisters and my brother, we are similar
We let very few people interfere
Between us, too bad if we end up alone
I have trouble getting attached, to explain my task
I told you that my mother burned my neck with coffee
If rap hadn't worked, I don't know what I would have done
I would certainly have ended up hiding
I messed up daily, I had my team
Nothing has ever been as good as when I was a kid

They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I don't want to do anything like those people
They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I know that

I did all this when I was little, eh, dad wasn't there when I was little
I will cover my family with bills until everyone has forgotten me
I did all this when I was little, eh, dad wasn't there when I was little
So, I felt like I had to offer my family a different lifestyle

I dreamed of having the power to freeze people
I was fascinated by the idea of controlling time
I was feeling down when my nights were sleepless
In my opinion, they didn't summarize the plan well to me
I wasn't really attracted to money, from my window
I watched my street lit by the moon
When my brother talked about smoking, I was always on the lookout
The only time I acted crazy, I ended up in custody
Already young, I hated being rushed too much
I had my name written on all my clothes
I thought I was good enough at basketball to go pro
Then one day I got dunked on
Reality often slapped me in the face
There was always a problem somewhere in the apartment (ooh)
Since I was little I'm like this, I don't like being yelled at (no)
I'm going to move forward with my people by sharing my part

They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I don't want to do anything like those people
They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I know that

I did all this when I was little, eh, dad wasn't there when I was little
I will cover my family with bills until everyone has forgotten me
I did all this when I was little, eh, dad wasn't there when I was little
So, I felt like I had to offer my family a different lifestyle

They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I don't want to do anything like those people
They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I know that

I did all this when I was little, eh, dad wasn't there when I was little
I will cover my family with bills until everyone has forgotten me
I did all this when I was little, eh, dad wasn't there when I was little
So, I felt like I had to offer my family a different lifestyle

They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I don't want to do anything like those people
They told me "kid, it's not good to act like adults"
And since I've grown up, I know that
