You will earn your food with much pain
Every day of your life
For you are dust and you will return to dust
We are all going to return there

Here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am
I no longer receive welfare, I have a good life
I no longer receive welfare, I have a good life

Don't be surprised, yeah if it ends like this
Dad, I've given enough, in return I lost an arm
I'm back like KB Nueve, dad bet on me
I have brothers who are traffickers and others who pray
They take our lives and our lands, the states are criminals
Meeting at the notary's to evict your mother from your home
Sometimes I only have one desire but we'll stay nice
So I go around the city, I channel myself under taga
The rap fucks its mother, I fuck it without humility
Dad will never be odd, always profitable
A light at the end of the corridor, I go without you I'm sorry
I was ready to take a bullet for you but it's you who shot it

And it comes from the slums, all this is real, yeah you know it
My suffering is in the sound, I tell the misery, you know it
The heart oppressed, I act as if nothing was, I don't want to talk you know
You thought it was over for me, 6 o'clock sharp, I arrive at your place hooded

Here I am, on the alley I rear up in I, I dodge the cops
Here I am, I didn't sleep all night, I emptied the bottle of Hennessy
Talk to my Glock I'm not there, if you don't pay here I am
Ra-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, the whole city screams "here I am"

Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
I no longer receive welfare, I have a good life (here I am, here I am)
I no longer receive welfare, I have a good life (here I am, here I am)

I light up again, the old man told me "light them up"
I don't know who to count on anymore, my heart is too damaged
The feeling of being targeted, the street is not a movie
I have brothers in a car chase, others who end up burned
And hard to say "I love you", feelings under cellophane
I do it only for my mother, yemma is my only woman
Deep down, I know they like to see my family sick
It's true that I almost lost my father, but thank God he's still here

And I stop at the red light, there's my sound from belle ville to Brussels
I'm on two wheels, there I emptied the Belvé, I'm hungover from the night before
Another bottle and you won't see me anymore, friend, except on payday
Without the sun, you know that a beautiful rainy day won't make a rainbow
Ah yeah, Manny
So that's life, ruining your health for money and giving it all back afterwards
So that's life, purple bills under the gray sky
And then the world regains color
And even strangely when I leave
I feel the same pain everywhere, ahh

Here I am, on the alley I rear up in I, I dodge the cops
Here I am, I didn't sleep all night, I emptied the bottle of Hennessy
Talk to my Glock I'm not there, if you don't pay here I am
Ra-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, the whole city screams "here I am"

Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
I no longer receive welfare, I have a good life (here I am, here I am)
I no longer receive welfare, I have a good life (here I am, here I am)

Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
Here I am, here I am (here I am, here I am)
I no longer receive welfare, I have a good life, oh
Bottle of Hennessy, for my enemies
