Lyrics[]

I am me
And I know I will always be
Je suis free, oui, j’invente ma vie
Ne me demandez pas qui je suis

Moi je suis
Le même depuis tout petit
Et malgré les regards, les avis
Je pleure, je sors et je ris

You put me in a box
Want me to be like you
Je suis pas dans les codes
Ça dérange beaucoup

At the end of the day
You cannot change me, boo
Alors, laisse moi m’envoler

I’m not rich but I’m shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
Quand je rêve, je suis un roi
Quand je rêve, je suis un roi

I’m not rich but I’m shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
Quand je rêve, je suis un roi

And I know oh oh oh
Even though oh oh oh
You try to take me down
You cannot break me nah nah

Toutes ces voix
Fais comme ci, fais comme ça
Moi je n’les cala pas
You’ll never remove my crown

Who are we
When we hide, when we fight for free
Only God can judge you and me
Ce qu’on est, on ne l’a pas choisi

On choisit
Son travail, sa coiffure, ses amis
Sa routine, parfois l’amour aussi
Ça passe ou ça casse mais ça regarde qui

I’m not rich but I’m shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
Quand je rêve, je suis un roi
Quand je rêve, je suis un roi

I’m not rich but I’m shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
Quand je rêve, je suis un roi

And I know oh oh oh
Even though oh oh oh
You try to take me down
You cannot break me nah nah

Toutes ces voix
Fais comme ci, fais comme ça
Moi je les cala pas
You’ll never remove my crown

Quand je rêve, je suis un roi
Quand je rêve, je suis un roi

I am me
And I know I will always be
I am free, yes, I invent my life
Do not ask me who I am

I am
The same since very small
And despite the looks, the reviews
I cry, I go out and I laugh

You put me in a box
Want me to be like you
I am not in the codes
It disturbs a lot

At the end of the day
You can not change me, boo
So, let me fly

I'm not rich but I'm shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
When I dream, I am a king
When I dream, I am a king

I'm not rich but I'm shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
When I dream, I am a king

And I know oh oh oh
Even though oh oh oh
You try to take me down
You can not break me nah nah

All these voices
Do it like this, do it like that
I do not cala
You'll never remove my crown

Who are we
When we hide, when we fight for free
Only God can judge you and me
What we are, we have not chosen

We choose
His work, his hairstyle, his friends
His routine, sometimes love too
It goes or it breaks but it looks who

I'm not rich but I'm shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
When I dream, I am a king
When I dream, I am a king

I'm not rich but I'm shining bright
I can see my kingdom now
When I dream, I am a king

And I know oh oh oh
Even though oh oh oh
You try to take me down
You can not break me nah nah

All these voices
Do it like this, do it like that
I did not stall them
You'll never remove my crown

When I dream, I am a king
When I dream, I am a king
