I Didn’t Have the Words

The second single from the album Drôle de Parcours was released on November 19, 2012. The lyrics and music video pay homage to La Fouine’s parents.

This song has much significance as the intro to Drôle de Parcours. La Fouine revealed he had tried to address some issues in his previous albums (such as a song in tribute his daughter or a piece where he talks about love) but he failed as he could not find the right words. Especially since topics such as love are often taboo in the banlieues (hood). However in this album, he was able to open up a little more and found the words to express some things he could not in the past, so it is for this that he decided to make the song “J'Avais Pas les Mots” and he has placed it as the intro to the album. La Fouine leaves nothing to chance.
