J'me rappelle d'un temps, c'était plus facile
Y avait moins d'oseille, j'avais plus d'amis
On était dans la vente, BEP te-shi
Pas de comptes en banque, moins de blehni
Fonce-dé, on regarde la lune, en scred, on la vise
J'voyais vie en rose même sans carte grise
Les flics cassaient la porte mais c'était pas fermé
On laissait ouvert, chez moi, rien à taper
On connaît l'paragraphe, papa cherche du taf
Maman squatte la CAF et moi, j'tire une taffe
On enterrait Zakaria, j'rêvais d'une Clio Baccara
On s'faisait courser par la BAC en s'faisant traiter d'sale arabe
Y a pas le Net, on s'tapait pour de vrai
Caillasse dans la tête à la gare de Châtelet
Grandi dans la pisse, j'faisais un mètre dix
À l'école du vice, j'avais bac +6
Parfois j'mangeais bien, parfois y avait rien
Parfois j'ken une tchoin, parfois j'ai ma main
Et on montait sur les Champs, tapait bouteilles à Auchan
Poursuivis par les méchants parce que poucave par les gens
Sèche l'école un peu, maman qui ré-pleu
Allocations coupées, couper plaquettes
Papa rentre au bled, noyé par les dettes
Les huissiers nous jettent, j'dors plus in my bed
Donc on bicrave à la gare et j'finissais à Bois d'Ar'
La vie m'a taclé sur l'terrain, à l'époque y avait pas la VAR
J'me rappelle d'un temps, j'étais délinquant
Foyer pour enfant, prison d'temps en temps
J'ai pas connu l'lycée, jamais diplômé
À part avec la rue, j'ai jamais flirté
J'me rappelle d'un temps, quartier tout l'été
Cashir dans du pain et cola 2D
Si tu sais pas d'où tu viens, comment savoir où tu vas ?
Dis-moi avec qui tu traînes, j'dirai dans quelle prison tu vas
Là j'vous parle d'un temps que les moins d'vingt ans
Ne peuvent pas connaître sauf en googlant
Tu m'appelles « Le sang » mais tu fais couler l'mien
Pour quelques billets d'cent, pas le même groupe sanguin
J'me rappelle d'un temps, on respectait les grands
On squattait devant l'hall, on rappait dans les temps
Ouais, il fut un temps
Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, il fut un temps
Ouh-oh-oh-oh, ouh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The lyrics IL FÛT UN TEMPS of LA FOUINE is also present in the album Bénédictions (2020)
