Couplet 1 (Ethan Atwood) :
Let me introduce myself, I was a man
Today I'm dead
I look at you from up there
Without saying one word like a kid
Alcoholic in order to exterminate the evil better
The bottle killed me
My Lamborghini ended the work
I can see everything even the bottom of the bottle
I've seen my old best friend telling my wife that she's beautiful
I see my tombstone
Those who come & those who don't come
Rather those who love me & those who don't love me
I can see everything & I won't hide anything from you
Some are crying there, some have come to spit
I see my daughter, I cry when I have the blues
I look at her growing up, I wake up when she coughs
I don't want her to see my name on a slab of marble
It's raining because
I'm crying puddles of tears
So many regrets because I've let my chance pass by
Because I've watched my youngest brother clearing out my room
Because I've seen him turning insolent, stubborn
Beaten up, finding refuge in cans of beer
I catch sight of Jessica, all the haters that want her to die
Yesterday I saw a weird guy near her door
I see all these rappers
Rapping loud what they thought in a whisper
Selling my death as if I was Tupac
Refrain (Eva Alexander) :
I see the world, but from the hereafter
Words catch my throat
I could fill buckets with tears
They encouraged me to sin
From up there
I feel so lonely, so bad
So far away from others...
Couplet 2 (Ethan Atwood) :
I've noticed that to some, I wasn't irreplaceable
I'm dead but all they speak about is the size of my Plasma screen
All these dogs that I used to love so much, that I've sheltered under my roof
Are fighting to get the care, not of my kid but of my quad bike
From up there, I see the mayor conspiring
I've seen how these bulldozers have destroyed the C building
Eros, I was at your wedding
In a posthumous capacity, up there I wore a suit
My wife can't make it
Bank statements are monthly
I get crazy, yesterday I saw her brother raising a hand to her
A few fans miss me, I've seen one cutting his veins
I smoke a cigarette, looking at my brothers hanging around in Fresnes
Every morning at the same hour, I see my mother going to shop
You can't figure out how it hurts when I hear her crying on the sly
My father is so brave, a whole life of sacrifices
I've pointed out that his face got ten years older in two years
Don't worry, my money is transfered to you
Ryan, I'd so like you to hear me
I didn't get the time to thank you
I've seen everything from up there
Jealous people throwing the bad eye at you
But in my mind, I remained young
I still love throwing eggs...
I didn't know my sight was coming from the sky
I've well seen that in Jeanne D'arc Street, some children sell drugs
V.I.P., I've seen the judge playing footsy with De Villepin
Convicting, sending Biggs to Villepinte's walks
Yeah dude, it's been so long, our trajectories are weird
Here you are alone & since a few time your brother Amine walks by my side
Everyday we create a new world
Talking, our gazes are far away
You're aware, unfortunately Sabrina
Has joined us
Missed, I think even the most weak-kneed aren't young enough anymore
United, so we hang around from clouds to clouds
From up there
Don't forget that I see everything
That stars are my eyes...
Refrain (Eva Alexander) :
I see the world, but from the hereafter
Words catch my throat
I could fill buckets with tears
They encouraged me to sin
From up there
I feel so lonely, so bad
So far away from others...
