1. J'ai grimpé, j'ai grimpé, j'ai grimpé sans lâcher mes principes et mes valeurs

   I climbed, I climbed, I climbed without letting go of my principles and my values

2. Jamais j'oublierais d'où je viens, je sais ce que c'est d'être un homme de couleur

   I will never forget where I come from, I know what it's like to be a man of color

3. Je sais ce que c'est de taffer deux fois plus pour pouvoir être à la hauteur

   I know what it's like to work twice as hard to measure up

4. Si je chante la cosmopolitanie c'est parce que j'en ai vu de toutes les couleurs

   If I sing of cosmopolitanism it's because I've seen it in all its colors

5. On m'a dit, on m'a dit "petit, réveille-toi t'es un peu trop rêveur"

   They told me, they told me 'little one, wake up you dream a bit too much'

6. Petit, tu as un trop gros appétit, la réalité est fade et sans saveur

   Little one, you have a hunger too big, reality is bland and without flavor

7. Oublie tes rêves d'ados, comme tout le monde suis le troupeau

   Forget your teenage dreams, like everyone else follow the herd

8. Mais le têtu que j'étais avait de la détermination plein le sac-à-dos

   But the stubborn one I was had determination packed in my backpack

9. Aucune de leurs dissuasions m'a mis le genou à terre

   None of their deterrents made me kneel

10. Aucun médecin au monde ne pouvait soigner ma fièvre

    No doctor in the world could cure my fever

11. Tout est possible quand tu sais qui tu es

    Everything is possible when you know who you are

12. Tout est possible quand t'assumes qui tu es

    Everything is possible when you embrace who you are

13. Aujourd'hui, regarde-moi contempler mes sacrifices au sommet de mon Everest

    Today, watch me reflect on my sacrifices at the peak of my Everest

14. I spend my life climbing, hiding

    I spend my life climbing, hiding

15. And fighting for what I want

    And fighting for what I want

16. And I don't want my mind stuck

    And I don't want my mind stuck

17. Just my pain, my hunger and my cries

    Just my pain, my hunger and my cries

18. I know, I know, I know

    I know, I know, I know

19. I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

    I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

20. Fight, fight for who I am

    Fight, fight for who I am

21. And I will

    And I will

22. J'ai chanté, j'ai chanté, j'ai chanté l'amour et la paix pendant des années

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

23. Je suis ce mélancolique qui se soigne quand ses m-a-u-x se mettent à rimer

    I am the melancholic one who finds healing when my woes start to rhyme

24. Un rappeur positif pour donner de l'espoir à cette jeunesse désabusée

    A positive rapper to bring hope to this disillusioned youth

25. À l'heure où on nous braque avec un AK 49.3 pour nous faire plier

    At the time when they threaten us with an AK 49.3 to make us bend

26. Ma famille, ma famille, ma famille tout roule pour moi car ce sont mes moteurs

    My family, my family, my family rolls with me because they are my engines

27. Mon carré VIP c'est mon cercle familial, pour eux j'brillais avant les projecteurs

    My VIP corner is my family circle, for them I shone before the spotlight

28. I love you Comoria, I love you Massilia (Alléluia)

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

29. Mon image, mon discours, mon parcours, mon combat, tout ça c'est pour pouvoir leur faire honneur

    My image, my speech, my journey, my fight, all this is to honor them

30. Le cancer m'a volé un frère il n'y a que mes gosses pour éponger mes pleurs

    Cancer stole a brother from me, only my kids can dry my tears

31. Toujours debout à chanter que l'amour est le meilleur fusil contre la terreur

    Always standing up to sing that love is the best weapon against terror

32. Je le décharge quand je chante, dans une MJC ou dans les Restos du Cœur

    I unload it when I sing, in a community center or at the Restaurants of the Heart

33. J'suis de retour plus humain que jamais, envoyez-moi des sourires plus que des fleurs

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

34. I spend my life climbing, hiding
