And if I told you who I was
Before they invented a life for me
I prefer to make this clear
Don't-don't-don't-don't-don't want to pretend
That my life was pretty, fifteen years before these bursts of melody came out
Speak-speak-speak-speak-speak again, again-again-again-again, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Speak again, again-again-again-again-again-again

If you knew my past, try to imagine
Empty fridge, forced to sing in damaged places
Just to be able to eat, never ask for anything
Soldier's pride, I prefer to fall than to beg
I don't want to pretend that my life is about making people laugh
Before that, my first love is music
Speak-speak-speak-speak-speak again, again-again-again-again, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Speak again, again-again-again-again-again-again

I already hear you saying, "and why only now?"
And why? Because before I had no choice
Nobody wanted me, for me it's "no, go home"
"Nice voice but that's not enough, oh I thought
And it's true that auto-tune brings in money
If I'm here today, it's thanks to my audience
Always there, whether I'm on Insta, on stage or in music
Speak-speak-speak-speak-speak again, again-again-again-again, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Speak again, again-again-again-again-again-again

Hey, I have the oar and the style, me
Indelible rap, me
Go back to playing marbles or I'll eat your marbles, me
Proud to death, me
Ah and so what? If you knew how much I am
Singer, rapper, author, composer, actress, comedian
I am an artist, never ask me again
To choose between the heart and the lungs
My desire to believe, it's thanks to your love
Your words, your screams, your applause when I enter the track
It's worth go-o-o-old again-again-again-again, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's worth go-o-o-old again-again-again-again, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Speak again, oh-oh-oh-oh
Speak again, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Speak again, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh, again

And if I told you who I was before they invented a life for me
I prefer to make this clear
