| In the aftermath I saw them playing the headscarf game
|
| I saw my ankles swell right after their damn sprains
|
| Animals die because a whore wanted their fur
|
| Men raise their fists cheering for that fucking Führer
|
| I've seen my dreams slip away and all these fleeting pleasures make me lazy
|
| I even saw myself acting on my nerves
|
| Insult the mayor because our walls are always full of shit
|
| Likewise, I've seen brothers screw up on the weed
|
| I saw polluted air, black beaches full of oil
|
| An 18-year-old friend becomes a father and in trouble
|
| I saw the cement sky and the concrete hit me hard
|
| I thought I hit Sarko while stoning the police
|
| I've seen night turn to day, day turn to night
|
| And boredom whistle death because death calls life
|
| I saw your daughter blowing pipes where you thought she was sleeping
|
| And this rapper quit his band because he wanted gold
|
| I've seen men promising, men traitors, I've seen men whores
|
| I saw it pit eat a kid, I tell you it's the master that I stumble
|
| I saw the love, the thunderbolt before a gunshot
|
| For 400 years I've seen white lashes
|
| I've seen this dirty life and this junky that addiction inhabits
|
| Who for 1 gram gets on all fours and can suck your dick
|
| I saw hell from the top of a tower, from below I saw my wrongs
|
| Seeing the rope, I saw myself hanging in the background
|
| I seen them racists shut me up because they had the flashball
|
| And on tf1, Hey Arnold replace Dragon Ball
|
| I saw my era die or pass by another
|
| Teachers judging people on a fuckin' notebook
|
| I saw my hate take control, reason compel me
|
| Lots of scrambles but rarely 1v1
|
| I saw their contract and my pe-ra flourish without
|
| Money is good but the goal is to make good sound
|
| I saw myself working, writing texts to the chain
|
| Feel rap like it's my own pulpit
|
| I've seen Hip-Hop go down the drain because of their mc
|
| Sounds farting when these fags think they're messiahs
|
| I saw that sunset, I believed in it, it was just a postcard
|
| And seen hundreds of Emilies laying in a hospital bed
|
| What to take a firecracker and blow your brains out
|
| When kids manage to cut their wrists
|
| I saw the little ones go crazy because there are no holidays
|
| That boredom drives you crazy on the benches of the galley, there's no vacant place
|
| So we camp in the lobby, fuck the neighborhood
|
| Sadness on our faces, concrete fog for the only landscape
|
| I saw that girl drive my best friend crazy
|
| Maybe her pussy was better than our time
|
| I don't know deep down there are too many questions and it drives me crazy
|
| We're only three, tell me where my downstairs gang went
|
| I've seen things and to say them I need more than a verse
|
| More than one sound, more than one album to find peace
|
| So I saw what shocks me and even things that escape me
|
| Utopia brother, I keep Arafat's scarf
|
| Yeah this is where it's at, open your eyes take a look
|
| If we travel in 3rd class it is that we did not want to queue
|
| Happy? |
| I don't really know, I live my life then I see
|
| On paper and facing the microphone it became full contact
|
| And express yourself, there's nothing better, thank you to the zik for bringing us together
|
| Thank you if you support, if you write to prevent
|
| A respect to this world to all immigrant families
|
| They messed up my color too much that it turned into a tiger
|
| Integrated it's been a while, don't ask me this question anymore
|
| And your old scum shots in the trash my son
|
| To believe that we fed in the jungle, piled up in cabins
|
| And like Rocca we ended up handling the microphone like a blowgun
|
| Shut up, no it's not okay, I'm coming back to boost the culture
|
| When I'll tell you everything's fine that's when I would have had my structure
|
| I've seen so many dirty things and like our mothers breaking up
|
| I've seen some press pause and ignore the play button
|
| Knowing that life is a fight we are always in kimono
|
| And verses so frank that I was asked to take it easy
|
| I saw that it takes work in very turbulent times
|
| I saw Chazal get angry when we weren't on his news
|
| I've seen stuff too serious
|
| I saw the lack of follow-up
|
| I saw the envious speak badly and too many jackals in civilian
|
| Do you guess in every word try and imagine
|
| I've seen little ones explode with too fragile a mind
|
| We know who our enemies are but not too sure about allies
|
| How many want us to just squat our stairwells
|
| I lose my temper, yeah man I live like an animal
|
| And then the envy in the end, told me again the envious took it badly
|
| Here I've freaked out too much, I've been cut off too many bridges
|
| I saw that France liked the handicap but only at the telethon
|
| I have seen and admit that it is we who condemn them
|
| I would be in the place of the president spraying Marie-Jeanne... |
