First time

[Verse 1: Imen Es]
Kassim, what I’m about to say is going to hurt you
Are you ready for it?
Like I’ve been doing all this time
I admit that mama was aware of it
We’ve been together for three years
I can’t forgive myself for hiding this from you
I thought I had found a perfect man
Until he started laying hands on me
I’ve got bruises all over, covered by clothes
Whether I say yes or no, mister attacks me
Humiliated, I lost confidence in myself, I suffered
Withdrawing to myself, I lost friends
Kassim, I love him, I thought he was going to change
Forgive me, brother, I put myself in danger
And now that I’ve told you everything, what are you going to do?
 
[Refrain: Imen Es & Alonzo]
This is not the first time he’s doing that
I know you, I was afraid to tell you about it
Who laid their hands on you? Tell me, tell me
On my life, I’ll be jailed for years
I know that he maltreats me but I love him
After all, I’m at the end of my rope
I swear I’m going to deal with him even if you love him
I don’t care, where is he?
 
[Verse 2: Alonzo]
Imen, sister, how could you hide such a thing from me?
My hands are getting sweaty and my heart is racing
I don’t know which point to start from but between him and me, one of us is going to die
Tonight, on my life, I’m going to follow him and I’m going alone
You already know me, I’m not going to file a report at the police station
You may have loved this scum, but he’s dishonored a whole family
Since we lost our father, I’ve felt the need to protect you
I do business in the hood and I’ve always been proud of it
Imen, a woman is a queen, Imen, a woman is like gold
She robbed you of your dignity, I’ll find him before daybreak
Because he’s not a real man, and it’s too late to say anything
This will be his last, even if you tell me that
 
[Refrain: Imen Es & Alonzo]
This is not the first time he’s doing that
I know you, I was afraid to tell you about it
Who laid their hands on you? Tell me, tell me
On my life, I’ll be jailed for years
I know that he maltreats me but I love him
After all, I’m at the end of my rope
I swear I’m going to deal with him even if you love him
I don’t care, where is he?
I know that he maltreats me but I love him
After all, I’m at the end of my rope
I swear I’m going to deal with him even if you love him
I don’t care, where is he?
