Gratitude
WOL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
C'est éclaté sa mère mais j'avais un rêve, plus fort que toutes mes galères
Je chuchote mes couplets dans ma chambre, j'ai peur que papa m'entende
Dix années plus tard tout a changé
Mon ingé son c'est mon pote, mon clippeur c'est mon pote
La fille que j'kiff fais mes designs, le gosse que j'étais, c'est vengé
J'fais c'que j'aime, j'ai un toit, j'ai à manger
Ou tes docteur Dre
J'suis plein d'gratitude, gratitude
J'le fais avec mes amoureuses et mes amoureux
Tellement de gratitude, gratitude
C'est nous la nouvelle ère, on veut seulement marquer le monde
Gratitude, gratitude, j'suis plein d'gratitude, gratitude
