I'm up
Alidou TOUGMA aka Vendeur De Cola 1992 (Bamako)
Look at me: do I look like a hopeless person?
Can't you see how I go?
I was never afraid to succeed
I was never afraid to walk,
Hope without any thought,
Believing without ulterior motive has always been a natural act for me since the summer
Don't worry i'm confident
I always believed in myself
I always had faith
Nothing can make me despair
I have taken steps of fire
I put out hot irons that burned my feet
See how you got there
Thanks to the light of my hope that I projected to you
Is not it ?
Do not worry about me
I've been standing since we thought I was sitting
