Ha ha Prim's the lyricist
And when we talk, the story's written
Don't thank me, relax we're even
The street made me live but the street disgusted me
School taught me to read but school made me doubt
Mom taught me money isn't an end in itself
That getting old is mandatory but growing up's a choice
I was told "don't mess up" but there's nobody helping me
I don't love rap, rap loves me
It paid me back a hundred times everything I give it
And sometimes when I don't sing anymore
That's when I isolate and I've got no idol
Aside from the Greatest, aside from my Creator
The more I talk about it the more I tremble
Nothing tempts me anymore
Except a few doubts I carry around
We're alike, 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
So many years, so many years
Youss', we know each other
So many years, so many years
Youss', we know each other
Wanting so much to exile myself elsewhere
I realize the same dreams
Make us and bring us together
There's love in my words
You sing with me and I take off
You nod your head to the music
Time stops and it's magic
That's the whole story of my life
And you know it, we know each other
Another step toward the future
I invite you again to follow me
So many years, so many years
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
So many years, so many years
Youss', we know each other
And one day we embrace them
Youssoupha's my real name
I've got a label that's rising
And then pleasing everybody
They want us to kill each other
Waiting for the mistakes we make
We're alike call me Youss' we know each other
