Influenced by DJ Arafat, Magic System, Serge Beynaud, Tam Sir, Suspect 95. Kader Onze was supposed to be the next star striker for Les Éléphants. A product of Abidjan's legendary ASEC Mimosas academy, his pro dreams were shattered by a career-ending injury at 18. He took the passion he had for the pitch and poured it into a microphone, becoming the official coupé-décalé commentator for the Ivorian national team. As the eldest of five siblings, he's spent his life as a leader, and now he leads the entire nation in song, celebrating the AFCON 2024 victory and paving the road to the World Cup.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trois heures du mat' sur la Rue des Jardins,
L'odeur de térébenthine et le bruit du voisin.
Sur la toile, une couleur qui refuse de prendre,
Une racine sèche qu'elle essaie de fendre.
Elle taille dans le vif, c'est la saison des pluies,
Mais dans son atelier, la terre est sans fruit.

[Pre-Chorus]
Chaque échec est une branche qu'elle doit élaguer,
Pour que la sève monte, pour ne pas s'étouffer.
Le doute est un chiendent, il rampe sous la porte,
La toile la regarde, presque une nature morte,
Elle attend, elle attend que le sol se réchauffe...

[Chorus]
Oh, la pousse lente,
Quand le cœur est en dormance.
Juste une graine patiente,
Qui attend sa seule chance.

[Verse 2]
Elle se parle toute seule, un murmure dans le noir,
"C'est la dernière tentative, après, je vais voir..."
Son reflet dans la vitre, fatigué, un peu flou,
Companion planting, elle est seule avec le tout.
Le quartier s'endort, Yopougon est si loin,
Elle est la seule à veiller sur ce foutu jardin.

[Bridge]
Et puis soudain, une ligne, un trait de lumière verte,
Comme la première feuille après l'hiver, offerte.
Ça y est, elle le tient, le bourgeon a percé,
Toute la nuit de travail vient de tout effacer.

[Chorus]
Oh, la pousse lente,
Quand le cœur est en dormance.
Juste une graine patiente,
Qui a trouvé sa chance.

[Outro]
Le béton s'est fendu.
La toile est terminée.
