[00:32.60]Do you remember when we didn’t have a penny to our names
[00:34.84]
[00:34.96]We didn’t wait until Halloween to knock on doors
[00:37.20]
[00:37.34]Not always been wise, I wanted to be like the adults back home
[00:39.66]
[00:39.82]Mum used to call me, I didn’t reply when she left me messages
[00:42.04]We walked together, going around Paris
[00:44.48]
[00:44.66]We used to fight just for a bad look, a sick generation
[00:46.82]
[00:47.06]I used to play the clown in class, now my maths teacher counts on me
[00:49.88]I have to make the kids dance, it’s wild
[00:51.66]Of course my life has changed, no longer behind on rent
[00:54.08]
[00:54.22]Now I treat myself, I can get a pair of Zanottis
[00:56.28]I’m not wrong about my mates
[00:57.76]We were young and unruly
[00:59.06]We had the same detention times in our diaries
[01:01.26]
[01:01.52]I’ve never run away from a fight, sometimes with four against me
[01:03.64]
[01:03.76]I’ve got the dingari mentality, I don’t talk crap
[01:06.06]
[01:06.18]Conakry’s in my blood, Dakar’s in my blood
[01:08.50]
[01:08.64]I don’t forget my roots, that’s why the beat is bouncing
[01:10.92]
[01:11.16]At night I think about the future but the past resurfaces
[01:13.18]
[01:13.38]They wonder when I’ll sink, they think I’m the Titanic
[01:15.64]
[01:15.80]I’ve never been stingy, my heart is wide open
[01:17.88]
[01:18.14]Ask my mates, even bastards still eat at my table
[01:20.36]
[01:20.60]Some true soldiers still remain and other end up dust
[01:22.86]Even if you always have money, you’ll have to pay up one day
[01:24.94]
[01:25.08]My heart is encased in barbed wire, love has rejected me
[01:27.64]
[01:27.78]Young ladie doesn’t know Mohamed, she wants MHD
[01:30.08]Life is sad, yeah, cupid has walked away
[01:32.34]
[01:32.64]In two weeks they want a ring and to call you bae
[01:34.94]But it’s not the same now, times have changed
[01:37.28]
[01:38.82]I’m out of breath, I didn’t finish the race
[01:41.12]
[01:41.38]I’ve known misery, I didn’t cry for help
[01:43.48]
[01:43.70]One eye on the clock counting down, but when is it going to end?
[01:46.22]If I’m taken from this life, I have no regrets, it was my pleasure
[01:48.46]
[01:48.58]The streets stole my youth, genuine friendship
[01:50.72]
[01:50.90]I can’t hold it against them, they made a true warrior out of me
[01:53.20]
[01:53.46]True to my principles, true to my family
[01:55.54]
[01:55.68]I haven’t changed my life just for some hits or groupies
[01:58.08]God forgive me, my passion put me on a different path
[02:00.28]
[02:00.48]We spend our time sinning, we ended up drowning in it
[02:02.60]
[02:02.94]And I’ve had the real experience, no need to make up stories
[02:04.98]I come from the bottom, they take my hand to get theirs on the Rolex on my wrist
[02:07.52]
[02:07.68]And those who love me today, did she love me yesterday?
[02:09.82]
[02:10.06]Is she going to love me tomorrow when I’m no longer in the iTunes chart?
[02:12.44]
[02:12.70]No need for reassurances, no need for new friends
[02:14.82]The night moves in on Paris, I have no need for my guards
[02:17.16]
[02:17.36]We lost Harri, rest in peace
[02:19.36]And my mother’s life, those guys down there never fi...........
