[Intro]
I really want a vodka-Red Bull
Seriously, I really want a cigarette
Even if you quit drinking a long time ago, it never really goes away

[Verse 1: OrelSan]
I wake up at noon, head a mess, mouth on fire
Feeling like I spent the night in an ashtray
The first thing I say to myself is “never again”
The second is “can’t wait until 6 PM so we can start chain-smoking again”
In my living room, there’s a guy I barely know
Lighting up some really bad stuff
So I ask him if I can take a hit
I fall asleep during the episode, I get up at 6 PM, so I go
I’m the definition of being out of control
It’s not even bad habits anymore, it’s routine
The booze, the Cigarettes, weed, friends, joints
I say I’ll quit whenever I want, four years later, I’m still in the same place
Balconies, terraces, bottles, flasks
There’s always some stoned guy giving me weird looks in the mirror
Nicotine, strep throat, in my lungs, in my veins
And I keep saying it helps me deal with my problems
Basically, that was me before
Normally, now, I’m not into that stuff
But from time to time, the past resurfaces
And I hear that voice saying to me:

[Chorus: Yamê]
Hello, how’s it going? I’m not doing well
I’m the old you, you thought I was gone, but I’m still here, here, here
La la la la la la la la
Why don’t you even notice me?

La la la la la la la la
Once again, we see each other, you and me, ah, ah, ah, ah
Once again, we see each other
Once again

[Verse 2: Yamê & Orelsan]
It’s not about who wants it, no, it’s about who can
A moment of stress, you burn everything for a little something
I’m like Sukuna, waiting for a misstep
The past we have, forget it if you can
You say it was before, stop lying
You haven’t changed, no, it’s just the product
Instead of rolling, you scroll endlessly
In front of videos of our old life
And when, without brown, life turns gray
Happiness, true happiness, isn’t in smiles
Because as soon as they fade, we see who’s who
Even the final boss will be Kill
As soon as I come up for air, he wants to pull me back down
As soon as I start to get back on my feet, he wants to drag me down again
Maybe you don’t really want to beat them, your demons
Sometimes, there’s nothing else to do but cut ties
How do you cut ties? You kept the plug
You kept a bottle in case it rains
You’re depressed, it’s not good
I’m not your enemy, I’m your truth
Same escape, same life, same problems
You do drügs differently, but you still do drügs

[Chorus: Yamê]
Once again, we see each other, you and me, ah, ah, ah, ah
Once again, we see each other, once again
Hello, how are you? I’m not doing well
I’m the old you, you thought I’d left, but I’m still here, here, here
La la la la la la la la
