I can't go to the bout-mara because I'm afraid of the sky
I can go to spy because I'm a man of tess.
I have stupid principles I have to respect
When people ask me why, I awnser: "because it's how it is in this neighborhood."
A little inncoent, a little capable
All of the police control brings me closer to a feature with 2Pac
In my dreams theres demons and crop circles
They're sure I'm not going to do anything, I rest in the marble of the coffins
I would like to say its because of you, because I love everything will be fine
but every African knows there isn't a man thats faithful for his whole life
I'm going crazy, I see happy people all around
Either love isn't for me, or I'm not for love
I come from a continent and country that bleeds when violence doesn't solve the problems.
Its witchcraft that does it, we are used to our shabs, we dress like normal people.
If you're surrounded by sons of bitches its because you're one to
Before, I wanted to change, now I accept who I am
I make paintings to kill the time like Salvador Dali
I lost myself, its not up for debate
I am cameroonian, a family name of blood and the first name of a slave
I bad memories, and bad thoughts
I think of all these faults, and all the misplaced money
before I believed I was praying, now that I'm grown I know all I'm doing is reciting the phrases I've learned by heart
My style bipolar, my ballpoint pen cries
I'm old enough to be right, be deserve respect, and stop wanting to please people
At our age the tragedy is how long I lie like a cop when I say
I'm outraged, its trash
The way a broken heart can give love
The same way a broken clock tells the right time two times a day
I'm laid down in the delivery truck, we facilitate death
When we contimplate life,
But happiness in the simple things
morals are in the are in the raps, yeah
I close my eyes and observe with my ears,
I need to trust but to admit I'm too afraid
But how long has the time gone? how long have we been running?
How long have we been lying? how long have we been suffering?
With my head in the clouds the stars sooth me,
On the roof of the building, you and me, stuck in a spiders web
We do what grown-ups do when we're all naked
And forget that most children are unwanted
Maybe they'll have your eyes, maybe they'll have my head, have my voice, they'll have your nose
But we'll never know because we're sending him back into the sky, Sailing without a visa
Its ironic how theres nothing familial with Planned Parenthood
So few truthes, so many lies, I'm wispering because
God hears me
I speak more of God than I speak to God
I go in alone but come out two
I'm so resentful, I am, I am, I am, so resentful
I pardoned who did me wrong
and when I do wrong they'll pardon me
I'm going to fix my ride, I cry chardonnay, stop your ride
I'm afraid of judgment before I see my life,
I never speak because I'm still the Dino of d'Imany
Lifless bodies, The human isn't humanity
Just like how God isn't unnanimous
Flat nostrils
I'm afraid of this France, however, I'm in the nice neighborhood
Leave the door open, its even worse than slamming it
But hapniness in the little things (hapniness is in the)
The happiness is in the little things (happiness is in the)
Every day I sin and sink
I belive in God but I don't know if he belives in me anymore
I say "he" but if its found its a woman,
If its found, its vauge if its found, its a soul
I have things to say but no one to say the to,
Sometimes I would like to leave bur running away isn't allowed,
I ask who makes the laws
and respond to myself : "it's those who don't follow them."
But I'm barley dying, commotion as a way of moving
Older, and I have less control of my emotions
Life makes me afraid of a Desert Egal
Like a death, of a DZ yelling.
They give me a lot less than what I was promised
Because I want to go back and find the fire I was in Prometheus
I think thats why I'm afraid to see the stars,
The happiness doesn't come to you, it comes from you
Slow down a little, you're driving way too fast
Remember when I prayed for everything I have today
Simple things, happiness is in the little things, yeah
Why am I lost, why do I push it down,
Who makes the little spirits when the grown ups meet?
Simple things, happiness is in the simple things,
Everything ends badly, I stop paying
Because if God gave me what I wanted I would abuse it.
Simple things, Amen
