My past weighs heavy in my eyes
My future draws itself in my mistakes
When I get it all right, it's a rare fact
Maybe deep down, I prefer terror
I feel guilty when I smile 'cause real quick
I remember the harm I've done
I don't know if I deserve everything heaven
Sent me these last few years
'Cause I did some dirt not long ago
I won't go up there if I die in the dirt
I'd have no baggage like Lufthansa
I'm only good at preaching good, doing bad
But is the messenger
More important than the message
I think I already have the answer
Like all the other answers
That sit in my head and my book
The one that makes me feel free
The one that makes me feel free
The one that makes me feel free
The one that makes me feel free
Too many people love me and I never asked for it
I didn't think I'd miss my old life
When I didn't need to worry
About my folks' safety but now
Every move I make is to leave the land
'Cause there're too many vipers here
With the people who love me most
Till they don't love me anymore
Till they don't love me anymore
There're too many stars in the sky
And I'm gonna grab them all
My grandma's proud of me
And I think that's my biggest pride
But sometimes I look at the sky and question it
I search for my grandpa's eyes
Closing mine to find his approval
I see thousands of euros
And crowds dying of hunger
While on Avenue Wagram they offer me food
Where the little people line up
After a month tightening the belt
Just to taste a bit of life
Just to taste a bit of luxury
Just to impress their followers
Just to impress their followers
Here I'm just a pawn in the system
I'm gonna slip outta here fast
'Cause the more euros come in
The less I feel at peace
And to count the weight of my sins
There aren't enough digits on the scale
Everybody tells me to smile
Yet I only endure
I don't have a sublime life, no
Barely a few months since I blew up
If tomorrow I wreck a whip
I'll want another, nothing to be proud of
No, I'm not even talking about the djinn
No, I'm not even talking about the djinn
No, I'm not even talking about the djinn
No, I'm not even talking about the djinn
If I get it tomorrow, I don't give a f*ck
Tomorrow I'm going to Los Angeles
Look at the sadness in our eyes
I think I'm gonna pack my bags
Far from here, Melanie-style
I think I'm gonna pull a Melanie
Gonna pull a Melanie on a sad melody
And maybe I haven't said it all but maybe I did
But maybe I've said it all
Cut far from here, Melanie-style
Be happy in peace, Melanie-style
Leave France, Melanie-style
Sail the sky, Melanie-style
Be happy in peace, Melanie-style
Unplug everything, Melanie-style
Live my life, Melanie-style
Before my fam, Melanie-style
Before my wife, Melanie-style
My little kids, Melanie-style
See Africa, Melanie-style
Live in the bled, Melanie-style
Far from all that, Melanie-style
Far from hate, Melanie-style
Far from hate, Melanie-style
Far from war, Melanie-style
Solo in peace, Melanie-style
Far from the media, Melanie-style
Far from the networks, Melanie-style
Far from the music, Melanie-style
Far from showbiz, Melanie-style
Far from evil, Melanie-style
Close to the sky, Melanie-style
I'd be happy, Melanie-style
I'd be alive, Melanie-style
