Have you ever felt like people judged you before they even knew you? In "Qui vivra verra," French reggae artist Yaniss Odua sings about this exact feeling. The lyrics describe being put in a box, given a "bad label" (mauvaise étiquette), and being told you won't succeed. It's a powerful message against a "system" where some people try to control the lives of others.

The song's title, which means "Time will tell," is a defiant response to all the doubters. Yaniss Odua encourages listeners to choose their own path and believe in their own future, because no one else can truly know what's ahead. The ultimate message is one of empowerment and perseverance: rien ne nous arrĂȘtera—nothing will stop us!
