Verse 1: Ça prend plus de temps quand tu pars en bas de la pente. ca d'mande plus d'efforts, chaque jour est un jour pour apprendre. Chaque jour est une bénédiction en plus pour faire péter la banque. Vider le coffre, s'péter une clope. Embrasser ses gosses, embrasser sa maman. Partager d'bons moments, avec sa bande. Niquer les Opps, faire le job, entrain'd faire le gang. Tous les jours rebelote. Tous les jours rebelote, chaque jour on bosse Le jeune négro devient tron-pa du bloc Je suis parti a la conquète du globe Pour ramener la médaille a mon club Pour redonner de l'espoir à mon clan J'ai mérité, chaque client. Hiver comme été, j'suis jamais close Pas b'soin des clés pour démarrer la gov' Pas d'regard a droite, pas d'regard a gauche. J'suis sur ma file, j'suis sur ma ro' J'suis dans le banks, sur la FM Comme NTM, ou Etienne Daho Par la musique, j'fais des euros Sur le terrain, j'mouille le maillot. Et sur le ring, j'met des K.O. Car la vie ne m'a pas fait de cadeaux Hook: Hababa na haba, Hujaza kibaba X2 Hujaza X3 kibaba Hujaza X3 kibaba Swahili language Translation: step by step, small things when combined together make big things Verse 2: Kibaba, je ne fais que r'garder d'vant moi Kibaba, j'ai ce que les autres n'ont pas Kibaba, les autres ont ce que je n'ai pas Kibaba, Kibaba Hook: Hababa na haba, Hujaza kibaba X2 Hujaza X3 kibaba Hujaza X3 kibaba

Hook: Like the sun in the sky like a prince and a crown like the beat of my heart You were made to be king From my blood, to my soul All my gold, and my throne I will give you my all, You were made to be king When life get rough and wild , call on the allmighty. No pride, get on your knees, Pray with me, pray with me. Future's bright, you've been blessed, I'm your shield 'til I rest, Africa on your chest. You were made to be king Verse: As a Pop I just wanna to protect him, from every cop ever gonna select him. Next president you gonna elect him, My best blessing's a son a spectrum. Now we coppin' fly shoes out in Neemen and as a child you've been used to ear in every crowd loosin and start screaming. I was selling out arenas, then I found out that you had the IQ of a genius. That's my lil' soldier, finally got prime exposure, that's rock bottom right body's poses, but that smile is what got me sobber. That glow bought me and you Mommy closer. Restored my new faith in life in two parts Record thru the day and night to do art. and of course my A yo like blue hearts. work and change like tragically as fame can't, if I had it then it had to be a name brand. Become an addict was no game plan, when the gambling turned habit i'm rehabin' i'm the rain man Judge slamme got but that was a reign man, thrown in a same cage than police thief loans that i can't pay, back at least he was, born that day they released me. King Hook: Like the sun in the sky like a prince and a crown like the beat of my heart You were made to be king From my blood, to my soul All my gold, and my throne I will give you my all, You were made to be king When life get rough and wild , call on the allmighty. No pride, get on your knees, Pray with me, pray with me. Future's bright, you've been blessed, I'm your shield 'til I rest, Africa on your chest. You were made to be king.
