Mon Everest [English translation]

I've climbed, I've climbed, I've climbed without letting go of my principles and my morals

Never will I forget where I came from I know how it is to be a colored man

I know what it's like to work twice as hard to get to the top

If I sing Cosmopolitanie* it's because I've already seen all of its colours

They told me, they told me child, wake up you're a little too much of a dreamer

Little one you have too big of an appetite reality is bland and flavorless

Forget your childhood dreams, follow the crowd like everyone else

But my stubborn self had a backpack full of determination

None of their dissuasions made me kneel down

No medicine in the world could cure my fever

Everything is possible when you know who you are

Everything is possible when you accept who you are

Today look at me contemplate my sacrifices at the summet of my Everest

I spend my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

« And I don't want » my mind say, just my pain, my hunger and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am, and I will

I sang, I sang, I sang of love and peace for years

I am this melancholic who heald himself when his evils start to rhyme

A positive rapper to give some hope to this disallusioned youth

As they hold us up with an AK, Article 49.3** to make us bend down

My family, my family, my family everything is going well for me because these are my motors

My VIP square is my familial circle, for them I would shine ahead of the spotlights

I love you Comoria, I love you Massilia (Hallelujah)

My image, my message, my journey, my struggle, it's all to bring them honor

Cancer stole a brother from me, I only have my kids to soak up my tears

Always standing to sing that love is the greatest gun against terror

I fire it when I sing, in a youth club or in the soup kitchen

I'm back more human than ever send me smiles more than flowers

I spend my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

« And I don't want » my mind say, just my pain, my hunger and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am, and I will

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

For who I am

I spend my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

« And I don't want » my mind say, just my pain, my hunger and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am, and I will

Everything is possible when you know who you are

Everything is possible when you accept who you are

Everything is possible when you know who you are

Everything is possible when you accept who you are
