Esclave 2000


Je ne veux pas faire de politique,
Ma mission est artistique...
Si je te dis qu'il y a encore des esclaves aujourd'hui
Sur cette terre et peut-être même dans ton pays
Des personnes qui ont le droit de vie ou de mort sur d'autres
Autrement dit droit de propriété sur autrui.
Historique: 1769 abolition de l'esclavage en Pennsylvanie
C'est dit, c'est écrit pourtant Iqbal Massih ne l'a pas vécu ainsi.
Vendu à l'âge de 4 ans par ses parents au Pakistan
Il avait réussi à s'affranchir de sa condition d'enfant esclave
Et milité pour les enfants
Pour le droit des enfants contre l'exploitation des enfants.
Le 20 avril 95, il fut assassiné à l'âge de 12 ans
Quoi, tu es surpris, là ? Tu ne savais pas ça ?
On ne t'a pas dit que beaucoup de jeunes filles au Bangladesh sont destinées
À des bordels indiens et pakistanais ?
On ne t'a pas dit que les jeunes garçons au Bangladesh ont aussi leur destinée?
Dans les pays du Golfe pour les courses de chameaux ils ont besoin de jockeys...
Des femmes, des hommes, des enfants sont exploités
Punis, torturés et mis à mort en toute impunité
Et persiste l'esclavage de castes en Mauritanie

Va vérifier par toi même si tu ne crois pas en ce que je dis !Au Soudan le gouvernement islamiste du Nord à réduit
30 000 chrétiens animistes en esclavage de guerre aussi
L'esclavage pour dette est en vigueur dans toute l'Asie
Gangrène aussi l'Amérique latine, Guatemala, Brésil et Colombie

Réveillez-vous ce n'est pas qu'une chanson
Esclave 2000 relève de la prise de position
Réveillez-vous ce n'est pas qu'une chanson
Esclave 2000 relève de ta prise de position

Refrain
Esclave 2000, sont les enfants qu'on prostitue
Esclave 2000, sont les petites bonnes aux visages perdus
Esclave 2000, sont les cris qu'on entend plus
Etouffés par des lois qui cautionnent ce genre d'abus
Esclave 2000 c'est derrière les ambassades
Esclave 2000 c'est derrière les palissades
Esclave 2000 n'est pas une fiction
Des millions de concernés derrière des maisons
On n'oublie pas que beaucoup de fortunes aujourd'hui fort respectables
Ont été montées à Bordeaux ou à Nantes sur la traîte des esclaves
Tu me diras "c'est le passé"
Mais le passé se répercute
Et aujourd'hui l'esclave n'est pas qu'enchaîné derrière une hutte

Même la justice française reste aveuglée
Vas-y ressors du tiroir le dossier de Véronique Akobé !
L'esclavage moderne n'est pas reconnu par l'UNICEF !
L'esclavage moderne n'est pas reconnu par l'UNESCO !
Sur le sujet, langue de bois, il vaut mieux pas
S'attirer la foudre d'une bonne cinquantaine d'états
Membres des Nations Unies
De toute façon le sujet n'intéresse ni Amnesty
Ni la fondation de France
Ni France Liberté de Madame Mitterrand
Anti Slavery, la seule assos qui va de l'avant
Sur le sujet "big up" ! Obligé de la représenter
Pour qu'ils sachent que dans le HipHop, il y a des gens concernés !

Refrain
Hey b.boy, b.girl tu kiffes Adidas ?
Reebok, Nike, tu kiffes aç ?
Le salaire annuel cumulé des 6500 employés
Travaillant pour Nike en Thailande et en Corée du Sud
Equivaut à la moitié de ce que gagnaient les 13 membres
Du directoire de la firme, dont j'affirme
Qu'une paire de chaussure vendue 400 francs
Peut avoir généré un salaire de 70 centimes seulement
C'est ouf, non ? C'est ouf, non ?

As-tu déjà entendu parler de Harry Wu ?
En tout cas la marque de jeans Lévi's
A résilié 150 contrats d'un coup
Avec la Chine ils n'avaient pas vu le vice
Tout était fabriqué par des prisonniers politiques
Lis les livres de Harry, tu verras, il t'l'explique !
Donc à mon tour je m'implique
Comme Dominique Torres
Respect à cette soeur grâce à laquelle on progresse !
On veut que tous les esclaves redeviennent des princes et des princesses
Et pour ça il ne faut pas faire preuve de faiblesse !

Refrain (x 2)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
