Me, in my street, in every house
Scars inhabit faces
I count the dead every season and the toll is despicable
I would surely be better
If I gave up my dreams and was stable
I loved them like my family
I even put them on a pedestal
If you're my friend, don't abandon ship
Even if we capsize
Protect my back because I lead a risky life
We promised each other life
Oh, but life, it's tragic (tragic)
At ten years old, I saw everything in black
I was looking for the light
I stole, I dealt
I brought home to fill the spoons
They didn't give me, they took from me
Only my God can guide me
Today, I change my life
I sing misery in requiem

I can only do that
I can only do that (oh)
I can only do that
They didn't give me, they took from me

I remember those years
I cursed my birth, I dreamed of writing my legend
I saw my brother lose his father
While he didn't even feel his presence
In prison, it's mean
My mother lost her daughter, that's not a gift
Since then I walk in an arid desert
Against a little water, I exchange it
It's a dream, where I dream that my days brighten
It's a dream where I dream of shining when I wake up
It's not me, it's for mine
Who let out cries of distress
In the Garden of Eden, I have many relatives above
I dream of taking flight
Even if they cut off both my wings
If I can't make it, it's my fault
I still have bruises
The times when I saw the photos
We wanted to get away from problems, misunderstandings
As if it was easy, as if we had a choice
At first, I wanted a Visa, I hoped to change the landscape
Now that we're here, what do we have?
All these sacrifices for what?
I don't even see my parents anymore
They, they did everything for me
They tell me, "Ayoub, protect yourself"
I've always stayed straight
I'm nobody's valet
Because in my mother's heart, I'm a king
I have to enforce my rights
But now, everyone's harassing me since I left Bab Doukkala
To plant my flag in Marseille
Music, I can only do that
I can only do that (oh)
I can only do that
They didn't give me, they took from me

I can only do that
I can only do that
I can only do that
They didn't give me, they took from me
I can only do that
I can only do that
They didn't give me, they took from me
