Hmmmm thanks to you we are well, we are well

Hmmmm nobody can be well without the help of others. Thanks to you, thanks to you


Where do I live? I live in Ouaga


Let me tell you something about life in Ouaga

My neighborhood, Samandin, new paved road


Not far from Arzoum Missiran, the Friday Mosque


Often called Koukin Yaaré, the Caîlcédra market

Very early mornings, face barely washed


I used to take my two buckets to the fountain


Women, children also came to get water from this fountain

Ofe after the other people helped themselves


I would often wait for hours just to get a few liters of water.


After the shower, I did I go out? In HIP HOP mode!

How to reach the next street, cross the new paved road


And get rejected at the National School for Telecommunications, BandAvoir?


A few tokes of tobacco before I begin to sing

Bark like a dog in front of the neighborhood kids


Some would clap, others would laugh, saying I was wasting


My time, saying I was wasting my time, and I say hmmmmmm

Thanks to you we are well, we are well


Hmmmm nobody can be well without the help of others. Thanks to you, thanks to you


OK! After songs came time to go back out and take the new paved road

This time, heading to "Decodeur X One" who'd be called the Ballad.


If you don't believe me ask Madam Salad


She's tell you about our complain with Ballad.

When I used to get there, I could drink coffee and speak with everybody there


Take some time with Moufta, Jackim and Alain before heading back out


Once on the road, I would head over to my friend Coolio's for a few more freestyles

From Coolio's I'd take the street across the paved road again, walking down alleyways


The place where I'd spend all my time, was the central market, by the taxi rank to be precise


Big up to all taxi drivers in the city of Ouaga

Gounghin, Pissy, Tampouy, Larlé, Kilwin, Baskuy, Kolg, Ouidi, Bassinko, Cité An3, Diisa Yaaré (Sector 10 market)

Presser...
