Marsilia, Bab Doukala, Arset Aouzal
Listen to me with your heart

I come back hooded, I know that God watches over me like a shepherd guiding his sheep
My brothers and I, we want to change our lives, "sad to say" was our only motto
I'm going back to my homeland, what am I going to do on a gondola in Venice?
I know they don't really love me, they're just attached to my future project

It's a funny life but no one finds it amusing
We are all exceptional but we just have trouble getting started
I was born with nothing, I didn't even have time to prepare for it
Between the dream life and mine, all the oceans separated us

I will rest at the very end when I join my treasure, Aïcha
When you're full of life, you're detestable but you're perfect when you're dead
At the mosque, in a tunic, outside, you have two choices
Either you're a businessman, or you kill for money
Everyone is unique except the suckers who don't understand that sucking is disabling
Even in need, you have to stay dignified so I never begged
We have the shoulders to carry the weight of the Earth added to ours
A bit of streaming, a few thousand euros and they think I'm an extraordinary guy
Sir daban, chrrg zzamel li wldk ya mabitch nban brhoch
Man is dangerous, the neighborhood is dangerous, I wish my life would smile at me like Shakira
I become stronger with each mistake and at worst, tomorrow will be better
We do as we said, to life, before it ends in a drama like Dalida
Before, I was afraid that my parents would leave before me, but if I leave, who takes care of my mother
Inside, it's tense, we want to kill each other even if we got along well
In times of war, its financing costs me dearly so my feelings, I sold them
I wasted my time, so much wasted my time that now, I'm even afraid of clocks
And every time I smoke, I'm levitating like a hanged man
I have brothers who have taken lives and who, since then, are very cold
At the base, we were three hundred warriors, after the war, we are three
My sister, I love you, the day of your funeral, I felt a cold
I feel so screwed that I'm going to give birth to the hatred I feel living in me
I big up momo, sarah and all the others, apart from them no one assisted me
I come from Bab Doukkala it's very far from Oklahoma city
I talk to myself as if I had installed Siri in my head
Son of the people, no one will represent the city better than me (here)

I come back hooded, I know that God watches over me like a shepherd guiding his sheep
My brothers and I wanted to change our lives "sad to say" was our only motto
I want to go back to my homeland, what am I going to do on a gondola in Venice?
I know they don't really love me, they're just attached to my future project

It's a funny life, but no one finds it amusing
We are all exceptional, but we just have trouble getting started
I was born with nothing, I didn't even have time to prepare for it
Between the dream life and mine, all the oceans separated us
