[Intro: Daddy Kery]
Love from its path forever crossed me out
The day when…

[Verse 1: Daddy Kery]
The day, I die I want people to remember
That I never dreamt of a life such as the one I lead
Hate, I wasn’t born with it and I assert that
For his associates, Kery James the melancholic
This immense pain in my heart, sister, I don’t know why
I think I suffer a life that doesn’t satisfy me
May God watch my steps as I’ve come a long way
A throbbing pain that only He may witness
Clutches me, I aspire to a better life
Inhale, exhale, around me only feel rancor
I loved a friend, from friendship he betrayed me
I loved a woman, she lied to me so I banished her
Understand my pain, I love women in all their splendor
I don’t like seeing them weep, I’m a Black man in all its greatness
Sanctioned from destiny, I’m affected, hardened
Love has surely put my file in deferment
Every man for himself, God for all, so you’re all set
The rules have been set, sadly they persist
Many events shatter our convictions
“Trust no one” becomes our position
Love too often flirts with hatred
And when it promptly ceases, many decease
[Chorus: Daddy Kery, Rohff]
Love crossed us out
Love crossed us out
Love crossed us out
From its path, but we’ve dreamt of loving
I think we’re born to despond
Condemned to row, bleed out
And our dreams go up in smoke
A horrific pain entrances us
You know we’re trying to live?
I think it’s fate that wanted things this way
It’s love that crossed us out

[Verse 2: Demon One]
I feel that love crossed us out from its path, from its course
Choosing to ignore us from its fate, and that forever
Being conscious, mastering the events
From childhood feelings had no place in my ranks
Hard to forget the deep sorrows
When your destiny suddenly changes paths
When your brothers become adversaries
What do you want to do?
What can you do, brother?
If sometimes you choose, too often you submit
And then life’s returns
Make it so that your pain grows
As you grow up, everything muddles
Quarrels with cops
Consequence of a lack of bank
As far as I’m concerned, cushy
I live on hustling and cold beers
I make do with what they sow
While avoiding dry seasons
It’s because, without regrets
You can attach to very few things
Apart from God, your family, your mates
Few are the people you can count on
Some indeed would let you die for money
Better maybe, to laugh than to cry about it
I inverted this rhyme, for those who wanna contradict me
I made my life a dream and my dream a reality
I get to speak out with help from the M-I-C
The love for my path disappointed me so
I got its message: after it, I run no more
[Chorus: Daddy Kery, Demon One, Rohff]
Love crossed us out
From its path, but we’ve dreamt of loving
From childhood feelings had no place in my ranks
And our dreams go up in smoke
A horrific pain entrances us
You know we’re trying to live?
I think it’s fate that wanted things this way
It’s love that crossed us out

[Verse 3: Rohff]
Love turned me down since the day I was born
From the bled to France, my childhood is a string of mischance
I’ve realized that my experience feeds my hope
My brief passing through this world ought to strike history
Every second is counted, I have no right to cave in
I have no choice, my destiny is just confronting
Understand why I’m not sentimental
Why I don’t feel like smiling nor speaking nicely
My stare is cold, bruised, iced by letdowns
Resembles contempt because I don’t master its action
Blinded by the fog of malediction
I feel the need to fill this desert of affection
The state of the landscape attains my character
My life’s summary, in flashes, rubs off on my face
I’m enraged, furious to defeat the invincible
I’ve got to access the inaccessible, what the system has for target
Understandable, when happiness has only brushed past you
My mom cried too much, 'cause in the ranks I got deluded
I was raised by tears, screams, punches, scenes
Got back on my feet 'cause my soul had been hardened
A real grown up who can withstand is a wall
Misery’s blade can’t pierce my armor
Nor the charms of a woman, an actress of vice
Complicit in haram, I need to repent
Or else I’ll scorch in flames
[Chorus: Daddy Kery, Rohff, Demon One]
Love crossed us out
From its path, but we’ve dreamt of loving
I think we’re born to despond
Condemned to row, bleed
And our dreams go up in smoke
A horrific pain entrances us
You know we’re trying to survive?
I think it’s fate that wanted things this way
It’s love that crossed us out
…That wanted things so
But we wanted to love
…That wanted things so
And our dreams go up in smoke
Under pressure, I lose it
Watch out, my nerves are frayed
A horrific pain entrances us
When brothers become adversaries
You know we’re trying to live?
Your path is traced
It’s love that crossed us out
I think it’s fate that wanted things this way
It’s love that crossed us out
