I heard people screaming, but it was in my head
If I listen to myself think, I'm not in the party anymore
I do it how I feel, that's why they like me
It's been a while now
Now I've got the good life, I'm in it all the time
If I dodge you, don't stress me
Peace, strength and thanks to those who give me energy
My guys from Bercy, my guys from Perpi'
When I touch money, you know what I do with it
I don't cross the périph and I don't party
I gotta reinvest, dance for me baby
It's been a while now
Nobody can take away what we've got in our heads
I'm with Syz, music in the ride
I do it for the West Side, of course for the East
It's been a while now
It's only a matter of time
I do everything the way I feel
The more you give, the more you take
I've got love for my people
I heard people screaming, but it was in my head
If I listen to myself think, I'm not in the party anymore
I do it how I feel, that's why they like me
It's been a while now
Now that I'm steady, I'm in the room
I replaced them all in their seats
Dodging the hood, it's been a while now
Now that we're more and we're old enough
We're coming for the cash we dropped
Maybe we didn't study but we didn't screw up
Our moms are happy now
Now that we're more and we're old enough
We're coming for the cash we dropped
Maybe we didn't study but we didn't screw up
Our moms are happy now
It's only a matter of time
I do everything the way I feel
The more you give, the more you take
I've got love for my people
It's only a matter of time
I do everything the way I feel
The more you give, the more you take
I've got love for my people

Réinvestisse comes from the verb réinvestir, meaning 'to reinvest'. While it might seem like a business term, its use in this song is quite unique and compelling.

Ichon sings, "Quand j'touche de l'argent, t'sais c'que j'fais avec / Faut que j'réinvestisse, danse pour moi baby." This line reveals a mindset of growth and strategic thinking, even amidst celebration. It suggests a focus on building for the future rather than just spending, offering a glimpse into the artist's values and ambition, making it an intriguing word choice for a learner.

Maintenant captures the thrill of finally living the good life after a long grind, yet never forgetting the people and instincts that got you there. Ichon hears the distant “cries” of doubt in his own head, but he refuses to let them kill the vibe. He moves on intuition, shares every win with his crew from Bercy to Perpignan, and reinvests his earnings instead of blowing them on flashy parties. The chorus keeps reminding us: success is only a matter of time when you stay real, give love, and trust your gut.

Beyond the swagger, the song is a heartfelt thank-you letter to family and friends who fueled the journey. Ichon celebrates growing up, making money without a traditional path, and making his mother proud. The message is crystal clear: do what feels right, spread love, and the universe pays it back. "Plus tu donnes, plus tu prends"—the more you give, the more you get—turns this laid-back track into an anthem of gratitude, self-belief, and shared victory.
