Yeah
Since we have to live, might as well do it with a smile
Tell ourselves that the best is yet to come
That the worst allows us to build what we truly aspire to
Tell ourselves during the fall that there is always hope of landing well
Life can only be breathed once
And happiness is lived without any law
Being free, that's my real fight
Do everything so that my inner dove finally has a beating heart
But sometimes I let go, in my head it's chaos
I find the strength only to tie the knot of my rope
Like that famous December 3rd
Allah forgive me for wanting to turn my life into ashes
Suicide is cowardly and selfish
It takes the heart of those who really love you and dips it in acid
You're right, Kery, why do we hurt those we love?
Today I live for them
It's for you that I rap, out of strength in the middle of the arena
In the midst of the bodies of those who wanted to shoot down my dreams
Still standing, feet raised, let them come
A glance in the stands, because it's in your eyes that I find help
In your eyes that I heal my wounds
Those found in every phase of my verses
Today I fight for my real needs
Because he who is content with little lacks nothing
I forget nothing, of all these hardships, nor where I come from
I forget nothing, my friends know that I've come a long way
I come from a slave port
I have oil-colored skin and the colonists know it
I am Comorian and I am proud to be, carrying this blood is an honor
I don't have the right to make a mistake, because mine have the right to gold
For the love of this woman, who carries my ring and my child
I must be strong, yeah, yeah, yeah
Become my straitjacket, and don't let me sleep alone anymore
I carry loneliness, like a man carries a shroud
Gaining altitude has always made me airsick
The higher I go, the more I need a blanket in this polar atmosphere
My anger towards men is enormous
As you see, the world is still as stoned
Look, Satan has a lot more Stan
And some stadium chants remind me of Amistad
At a time when roses are given to the dead more than the living
At a time when we are more taken by time than by the wind
At a time when the media are washing our brains
At a time when shepherds are making wool on our backs
We must be strong, fight against injustice
But above all fight against our damn whims
To change the world, you have to change your desires
Since we have to live, we must resist

Long live the revolution (yeah, yeah)
Long live the revolution (yeah, long live the revolution, yeah, yeah)
Long live the revolution (long live, long live, yeah, yeah)
Long live the revolution (long live the revolution)
For all our generations (since we have to live, might as well do it with a smile)
For all our generations (yeah, tell ourselves that the best is yet to come, yeah, yeah)
For all our generations (yeah, since we have to live we have to fight we must resist)
For all our generations (yeah, for a better future, yeah)

Since we have to live, yeah
Thanks to all those who have been following me from the beginning
To those who follow psychiatrist, yeah
A.L.O.N, Vinz, Sya, yeah
Since we have to live, might as well do it with a smile
For a better future
Yeah
Sopra M'Baba, yeah
