Since I hang around down there
_____
At night at home I hear Mom cry, cry
_____
In this rat hole, nobody wants me
_____
I see the teachers laugh, laugh
_____
Building A, police station, I don't even know where to go, go
_____
When it's bad, no cash
_____
Impossible to get away, away
_____
No diploma, a few chrome rims
_____
And I hear them talk, talk
_____
Olympia, Bercy, Dôme, and I catch myself dreaming, dreaming
_____
Police lights, siren blaring and I sleep light, light
_____
Real champagne, silicone, gotta let yourself go, go
_____
Alone at the back of the classroom
I dreamed of getting out of there
_____
But I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
I should've taken her in my arms
_____
Told her she mattered to me
_____
But I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
Mom I love you and Dad too
_____
I never knew how to say it 'cause I didn't have the words
_____
I didn't, didn't have the words
_____
Younger I couldn't find the words
_____
To tell them my story
_____
I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
When the doors close
_____
I smoke weed and let people talk
_____
I hit the ground, I get back in the saddle
_____
I see my life unfold
_____
First gear, second gear
How many times I've stalled
_____
Tell my dad, tell my mom
_____
I've got a few years to do
_____
Checked from morning till night
_____
No vacation, a little booze
_____
I'll spend the whole summer in the hood
_____
Influencing, whatever they say
_____
Facing the wind, what we aim at
_____
Will grow big whatever they say
_____
Alone at the back of the classroom
_____
I dreamed of getting out of there
_____
But I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
I should've taken her in my arms
_____
Told her she mattered to me
_____
But I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
Mom I love you and Dad too
_____
I never knew how to say it 'cause I didn't have the words
_____
I didn't, didn't have the words
_____
Younger I couldn't find the words
_____
To tell them my story
_____
I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
Misunderstood in my corner
_____
With time you won't go far
The counselor used to tell me
_____
Dad, stop complaining Mom, put down your broom
Too many years have passed
_____
Never finding time to talk to each other
_____
Often absent you worked too much
_____
She couldn't find the words either
_____
"When you grow up", often her words
_____
Got tangled in my brain
_____
I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
Buried in my silence bro
_____
Alone at the back of the classroom
I dreamed of getting out of there
_____
But I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
I should've taken her in my arms
_____
Told her she mattered to me
_____
But I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
_____
Mom I love you and Dad too
_____
I never knew how to say it 'cause I didn't have the words
_____
I didn't, didn't have the words
_____
Younger I couldn't find the words
_____
To tell them my story
_____
I didn't have the words, I didn't, I didn't have the words
