J’avais Besoin D’un Père Lyrics in English Alonzo

Alonzo’s hip-hop confession circles around one cry – “Papa!” – as he imagines how different his vida might have been if his father had stayed with his mother. He tells us that growing up he thought he was fine, but in hindsight he sees the invisible wounds: no authority to set rules, no male role model to copy, and the street becoming the default teacher. The refrain “J’avais besoin d’un père” (“I needed a father”) captures a mix of sadness, anger, and confusion at missing someone he barely knows, hinting that blood ties create a pull even when memories are blank. Through raw verses about risk, injustice, and the lure of “le sheitan” (the devil), Alonzo lays out how the absence of a father figure can tilt life toward danger, yet he never slips into self-pity; instead, he turns his story into a powerful reminder that guidance, love, and stability are cornerstones every child deserves.
