On Se Connaît

Love starts again, sometimes it leaves us
I take responsibility for all my steps, because only God guides us
And when we talk, the story is written
Don't thank me: Don't worry, we're even
The street made me live, but the street disgusted me
School made me read, but school made me doubt
Mom taught me that money is not an end in itself
That aging is mandatory, but growing up is a choice
They told me 'don't mess up', there's no one helping me
I don't like rap, me: It's rap that loves me
It gave me back tenfold everything I give it
And sometimes when I stop singing, that's when I isolate myself
And I have no idol, except the greatest
Except my creator: The more I talk about it, the more I tremble
Nothing tempts me anymore, except a few doubts that I carry
We resemble each other: Call me Youss', we know each other!

So many years, so many years, Youss' we know each other
So many years, so many years, Youss' we know each other
I can't forget you
I can't forget you

Wanting to exile myself elsewhere so much
And praying for the best
I realize that the same dreams
Make us and bring us together
There is love in my words
You sing with me and I fly
You find yourself in me
I know we resemble each other
You nod your head to the music
Time stops and it's magical!
That's the whole story of my life
And you know it, we know each other...
Another step towards the future
I invite you again to follow me
We know each other
And I know we resemble each other...

Stars decline, one day they are replaced
Crowds are anonymous, and one day we embrace them
Pressure dominates, no one is in my place
I don't have a pseudonym: Youssoupha is my real name
I have a rising label, too bad for the critics
And then pleasing everyone is pleasing anyone
The goal of my music, the rap I present
Was to remain authentic, not to remain poor
And France has been watching me, its appearances lie to us
My homeland scares me, I miss my family
Love made me cry for all that I feel
But hate gave me waterproof eyes
Prove that you fight, prove that you exult
Prove that the goal is to break tough hearts
They want us to clash, waiting for the mistakes we make
We resemble each other: Call me Youss', we know each other!
