[Verse 1: Kool Shen]
It all started one morning when at 10:10 am
I was jolted out of bed by the asshole of the day
My upstairs neighbor, a big Elvis fan
Spends his weekends blasting
Live albums from Memphis
Worst of all, I hardly got any sleep last night
You gotta understand, last night I was out, man
'Til 6 in the morning
You get me?
That means I got no more than four hours of sleep exactly
I'm gonna spend the rest of the day in a haze
On top of that, I got important meetings, interviews
This could be tough, I'm in a bad mood, I admit
But I accept it, I take control
In fact, I'm already at the wheel of my car
Headed for Les Abbesses
Where I got a meeting with
The man they call Joey Joey Starr
But I didn't make it 500 meters before the cops stopped me
And asked me to pull over
To see my ID, a simple formality
When you have your papers
But this time, I didn't have them on me
So I was asked to go to the police station where
They "gave me a fever" for hours
[Chorus: Kool Shen]
They "gave me the fever" for hours
They "gave me the fever" for hours
[Verse 2: Joey Starr]
Fuck! Three hours now I've been waiting for him
Tired of being stuck here like so many times before
I can see him emphasizing, insisting
That I be on time for something important
When a biatch appears in front of me
It's impossible to stay waiting here
It's impossible! I gotta decide and make my choice
Time to react, it's clear, very clear
I got more than one idea in mind, I gotta shoot my shot
Before I miss out, I gotta make her mine
But I gotta control my excitement
'Cause I already "got the fever" from the sight of this hottie
So hypnotized, deep in thought, I wouldn't dare
No, no, no, give me a little longer, it's not the right time!
I know I don't got all day but I can take my time
As long as she wants me to put the moves on her
That swaying body, I like it, too bad for Kool Shen
I'm not letting her go, no, I chain her like a goldsmith should
Never, never two rabbits with one shot
So for hours
[Chorus: Joey Starr & Kool Shen]
She "gave me the fever" for hours
She "gave me the fever" for hours
[Verse 3: Kool Shen]
Oh, they "gave me the fever" for hours
I sat on a bench against the radiator
I had so many things to do
I told them again and again, but there was nothing I could do
It was definitely not my day
Woken up by rock, it was already off to a bad start
There are days like this where nothing goes to plan
There are days where everything goes to shit, everything goes under
[Verse 4: Joey Starr]
Speak for yourself, ne-Shè, 'cause for me it was awesome
I spent the day with an amazing girl
A bitch straight out a magazine
So much hotter than the hottest of your girlfriends
So I'll let you imagine the rest
I won't draw you a picture, it might get censored in the music video
Anyway, there were no breaks, no pauses
For hours and hours
[Chorus: Joey Starr & Kool Shen]
I "gave her the fever" for hours
I "gave her the fever" for hours
