I paint to feel alive
When all I need is time
To find the right words
Oh, the painter
Yeah, yeah
Premier jour de promenade, j'crois qu'ils ont brulé mon auréole
Premier taff, mon premier joint, mes pieds ont décollé du sol
Premier passage en radio, j'ai perdu v'là les potos
Premier frère qu'on enterre, accident de moto
Première fois j'ouvrai l'Coran, mon dernier mandat de dépôt
Premier entretien d'embauche, t'aimais pas ma couleur de peau
Premier concert en banlieue, embrouilles, ça tirait dans la foule
Première garde à vue, pas d'billet, juste OCB dans la fouille
Premier she-fla dans la poche, première fois qu'j'séchais les cours
Première fois à Bois-d'Arcy, [à l'atout ?], jamais d'premier tour
Première go (pète sa mère), premier oin-j (pète sa mère)
Première moula (pète sa mère), j'vais aux puces prendre ma paire
Première fois, sans capote, mashallah, première maternité
Première fois qu'mon front toucha le sol pour dire la vérité
Première fois qu'on m'tirait d'ssus, j'ai vu la mort pour de vrai
Obligé d'aller d'l'avant, la vie n'fait pas d'passes en retrait
Y a qu'des Arabes et des noirs, gros, dans les rues de ma ville
La première fois qu'j'ai vu une blanche, les grands l'avaient dans les narines
Premières fois qu'j'ai vu la juge, dernière fois qu'j'ai vu le jour
La cité, c'est explosif, ils ont détruit toutes nos tours
Premières balades en voiture, première fois qu'j'ai fait les files
Les huissiers frappent à la porte, première trace indélébile
Le poto se fait planter, première fois qu'j'vois l'sang couler
Première instru, premier drame, j'écris mon premier couplet
Fouiny babe, babe, babe, babe (babe, babe, babe)
I paint to feel alive
Fouiny babe, babe, babe, babe (yo, yo)
When all I need is time
Au cas où t'avais oublié (au cas où t'avais oublié)
To find the right words
J'rappe comme si c'était la première fois (première fois)
Oh, the painter
La première fois
Yo, sans dire au r'voir aux parents, ma première nuit au foyer
Première fois qu'on m'a poucave, j'ai vu l'amitié s'noyer
"Unité", mon premier hit, sans même chercher à le faire
Ma première nuit au mitard, ma première nuit en enfer
J'ai perdu quelques potos, j'sais pas s'ils en valaient le coup
Quand t'as plus rien, ils ont les doigts sur le front comme Sangoku
Scénario chaotique, j'attends l'verdict dans ma geôle
Dans ce film dramatique, j'ai toujours eu l'premier rôle
Premier cross (pète sa mère), première gov' (pète sa mère)
Première liasse (pète sa mère), premier contrôle : "mains en l'air"
Ma première sortie en boite, enjaillement avec les frères
J'aurais pu souffler dans l'ballon, j'avais pas d'quoi m'payer un verre
Premier tour au parloir, première fois qu'l'ai vu pleurer
J'ai fait de ma vie un rêve, j'm'endors sur ma réalité
Premier maxi, demande aux anciens, ma plume est sacrée
Les jaloux essaient de détruire ce qu'ils ne peuvent pas créer
Fouiny babe, babe, babe, babe (babe, babe, babe)
I paint to feel alive
Fouiny babe, babe, babe, babe (yo, yo)
When all I need is time
Au cas où t'avais oublié (au cas où t'avais oublié)
To find the right words
J'rappe comme si c'était la première fois (première fois)
Oh, the painter
La première fois
I paint to feel alive
When all I need is time
To find the right words
Oh, the painter
