Mon Everest - Soprano, Marina Kaye

J’ai grimpé, j’ai grimpé, j’ai grimpé sans lâcher mes principes et mes valeurs

Jamais j’oublierais d’où je viens je sais ce que c’est d'être un homme de

couleur

Je sais ce que c’est de taffer deux fois plus pour pouvoir être à la hauteur

Si je chante la cosmopolitanie c’est parce que j’en ai vu de toutes les couleurs

On m’a dit, on m’a dit «Petit, réveille-toi t’es un peu trop rêveur

Petit tu as un trop gros appétit la réalité est fade et sans saveur

Oublie tes rêves d’ados, comme tout le monde suis le troupeau»

Mais le têtu que j'étais avait de la détermination plein le sac à dos

Aucune de leurs dissuasions m’a mis le genou à terre

Aucun médecin au monde ne pouvait soigner ma fièvre

Tout est possible quand tu sais qui tu es

Tout est possible quand t’assumes qui tu es

Aujourd’hui regarde-moi contempler mes sacrifices au sommet de mon Everest

I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hunger and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am

And I will

J’ai chanté, j’ai chanté, j’ai chanté l’amour et la paix pendant des années

Je suis ce mélancolique qui se soigne quand ses M-A-U-X se mettent à rimer

Un rappeur positif pour donner de l’espoir à cette jeunesse désabusée

À l’heure où on nous braque avec un AK 49.3 pour nous faire plier

Ma famille, ma famille, ma famille tout roule pour moi car ce sont mes moteurs

Mon carré VIP c’est mon cercle familial, pour eux j’brillais avant les

projecteurs

I love you Comoria, I love you Massilia (Alléluia)

Mon image, mon discours, mon parcours, mon combat, tout ça c’est pour pouvoir

leur faire honneur

Le cancer m’a volé un frère il n’y a que mes gosses pour éponger mes pleurs

Toujours debout à chanter que l’amour est le meilleur fusil contre la terreur

Je le décharge quand je chante, dans une MJC ou dans les Restos du Cœur

J’suis de retour plus humain que jamais envoyez-moi des sourires plus que des

fleurs

I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hunger and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am

And I will

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

For who I am

I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hunger and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am

And I will

Tout est possible quand tu sais qui tu es

Tout est possible quand t’assumes qui tu es

Tout est possible quand tu sais qui tu es

Tout est possible quand t’assumes qui tu es

Marina, Soprano

I climbed, I climbed, I climbed without letting go of my principles and my values

I'll never forget where I'm from I know what it's like to be a man of

color

I know what it's like to work twice as hard so I can measure up

If I sing cosmopolitanism it's because I've seen all the colors

They told me, they told me "Child, wake up you're a little too dreamy

Child you have too big an appetite reality is bland and tasteless

Forget your teenage dreams, as everyone follows the herd"

But stubborn me had my backpack full of determination

None of their deterrents brought me down on my knees

No doctor in the world could cure my fever

Anything is possible when you know who you are

Anything is possible when you own who you are

Today watch me contemplate my sacrifices on top of my Everest

I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hungry and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am

And I will

I've been singing, singing, singing about love and peace for years

I'm that melancholy who cures himself when his M-A-U-X start to rhyme

A positive rapper to give hope to this disillusioned youth

At a time when we are held up with an AK 49.3 to make us fold

My family, my family, my family it's all rolling for me 'cause they're my engines

My VIP square is my family circle, for them I shone before the

spotlights

I love you Comoria, I love you Massilia (Hallelujah)

My image, my speech, my journey, my fight, all of this is to be able

honor them

Cancer robbed me of a brother only my kids can wipe my tears

Always up singing that love is the best gun against terror

I discharge it when I sing, in a MJC or in the Restos du Cœur

I'm back more human than ever send me smiles more than smiles

flowers

I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hungry and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am

And I will

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

This time I know I fight for who I am

I know, I know, I know, I know

For who I am

I spent my life climbing, hiding, and fighting for what I want

I had no one by my side, just my pain, my hungry and my cries

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I gotta fight, fight

Fight, fight for who I am

And I will

Anything is possible when you know who you are

Anything is possible when you own who you are

Anything is possible when you know who you are

Anything is possible when you own who you are
