Lyrics

Verse 1

Stone walls hold my shadow tight

Bricks know my name better than the preacher

Cracks in the sidewalk mapping out my flight

Watch the watchers while I climb the higher feature

Pre-Chorus

No sleep for the dreamers

No peace for the believers

Just heat from the pavement

Chorus

Welcome to the cité

My brothers work all night and day

Welcome to the cité

The tower blocks where we stay

We stay

We stay

Post-Chorus

Oh la la la

Vive la vie

Oh la la la

This belongs to me

Verse 2

Grandma stirring iron pots of red sauce

Red sauce for the soul and the broken heart

Counted up the wins against the heavy cost

Pick the locks or pull the world apart

Keep moving

Keep breathing

Keep fighting

Chorus

Welcome to the cité

My brothers work all night and day

Welcome to the cité

The tower blocks where we stay

We stay

We stay

Post-Chorus

Oh la la la

Vive la vie

Oh la la la

This belongs to me

Bridge

Underneath the copper sky

Through the narrow metal gates

Pass the hunger

Pass the anger

Pass the hunger

I will be the one to find the light

Chorus

Welcome to the cité

My brothers work all night and day

Welcome to the cité

The tower blocks where we stay

We stay

We stay

Post-Chorus

Oh la la la

Vive la vie

Oh la la la

This belongs to me
