Il est arrivé comme Belsunce dans notre quartier
Comme s'il débarquait d'un livre de Pagnol
C'est sensiblement pareil le Neuhof et le Quartier Nord
Violent comme nous sauf que lui, dégageait notre ciel
Comme le mistral lorsqu'il parlait
Il disait:" Je crains dégun avec la confiance de ceux qu'ont
Le soleil comme patrie."
Il tirait selon lui sa baraka de la Bonne Mère quand il faisait de la tune
Et ça nous faisait "goleri"
A l'époque, franchement, on ne pensait qu'à notre gueule pour être honnête
Alors que lui, il envoyait des mandats à ses potes à la prison des Baumettes
Quand le soleil tapait fort, il nous parlait des îles du Frioul
Avec tant d'éloquence que dans la cité on disait qu'il était fou!
Il était rasta mais plutôt côté Massilia Sound System
Avec l'esprit de Marius en plus mais côté victime du système.
Refrain:
Le marseillais, on est là, seul, seul (4x)
Il avait le biais pour faire caguer son monde
Parce qu'il pouvait être lourd quand ça le prenait
Et dans la cité on finit toujours par ostraciser celui qui fait de l'ombre
Et avec son tempérament mistral, fallait surtout pas l'incendier
Il commençait à avoir du mal à traîner son ombre jusqu'au soleil
Mais avec toujours l'âme de ceux qui sont unis par une ville
Il disait que même loin Notre-dame montait la gare pour lui
Mais c'est surtout dans notre milieu que les valeurs commençaient à se taire
Pourtant lui en loyauté restait aussi traditionnel comme une bouillabaisse
Quand le soleil hissait son drapeau, il nous contait les calanques de Sormiou
Comme une contrée magique et dans la cité on disait qu'il était fou
Toujours rasta mais il virait côté mauvais trip
Un peu dans le style Fanny côté esprit de sacrifice
Refrain
Il souriait mais piquait du nez à cause de l'héroïne
Baver fait du bien à Bertrand avec Laurent caguant
Lui, il nous aimait vraiment quand nous on le trouvait juste marrant
En vrai c'est à cause de nous, à cause de la cité qu'il n'a plus été clean

Parce qu'après Avignon c'est le nord et le climat peut y être glacial
Pour tous ceux de toutes les couleurs qui sont de la race de Frédéric Mistral
On le regardait comme s'il n'était pas comme nous et c'était bête!
Parce que comme il le disait lui-même, on était tous pareils, prisonniers de la Tess
Alors qu'il y avait un cagnard à faire évaporer la mer
Lui il était allongé dans une cave du Grand Test
Il était plus ou moins rasta mais côté Jim Morrison
La vie avait été pour lui comme Panis pour Césario
Et maintenant il n'y avait plus personne!
