[Intro]:
Hip Hop is your child
This is your baby
We gave birth to
[Refrain]:
Ils résument le Hip Hop à une façon de s'habiller
à des bandes de jeunes insolents qui ne pensent qu'à briller
Des as de la gachette déterminés à appuyer
Mysogines et violents dont le destin a vrillé
Consommateurs de drogues qui revendent et qui achètent
Dégradent le mobilier urbain et dansent sur la tête
Bon à traîner le soir tard, à boire et faire la fête
Délinquants notoires qui misent tout sur le paraître
[Couplet 1]:
Ma définition du Hip Hop ne mettra pas tout le monde d'accord
Ils ont galvaudé le mot "classique" tout comme le mot "hardcore"
Tu ne m'as pas vu accourir pour soutenir Pierre Bellanger
Toute cette facette du mouvement, j'y suis totalement étranger
J'ai mis tous mes lyrics dans le même panier, ai-je l'air d'une girouette?
Même si les contours du Hip Hop n'ont plus qu'une vague silhouette
La musique n'appartient à personne c'est bien ça que je trouve chouette
Au fond je suis pour que chacun lui donne la direction qu'il souhaite
Heureusement qu'on rappe pas tous pareil, on s'ennuierait franchement
J'assume ma démarche même repoussé dans mes derniers retranchements
J'ai des couplets aiguisés car les clichés ont la peau dure
Rappeurs et médias sont coupables de quelques belles impostures
à force de véhiculer et de raconter de la merde
Vous obtiendrez que les valeurs de base du Hip Hop se perdent
Aujourd'hui j'écris moins par passion que pour leur faire entendre ma façon de penser
Et j'aimerais les empêcher de résumer...
[Refrain]
[Couplet 2]:
Si tes principes fondamentaux sont le respect et la tolérance
Quelques soient les différences de culture et de croyance
Ta manière de vivre n'est pas guidée par l'indécence
Tu ne fais pas insulte à la misère lorsque tu dépenses
Tu aimes tes enfants et condamnes tout type de maltraitance
Tu as recours à la violence uniquement pour ta défense
Tu réalises ton influence, tu as conscience de l'impact
De tes paroles, de tes faits et gestes et de tes actes
Tu dénonces l'injustice, rejettes la discrimination
Ton but n'est pas de nuire pour asseoir ta domination
Ta démarche est pacifique envers tout ce qui t'entoure
Tu ne fais pas partie de ceux que l'égoïsme rend sourd
Tu veux repousser tes limites, plus haut, plus loin, plus fort
Ta détermination s'amplifie après chaque coup du sort
Professionnel et honnête dans la gestion de tes affaires
"manipuler" et "exploiter" ne sont pas dans ton vocabulaire
Tu sais encourager, écouter, transmettre et partager
Tu joues un rôle positif au sein de ta communauté
Parmi les mots que tu affectionnes "entraide" et "solidarité" sont en bonne place
Tu prends parti contre la haine, le crime, ton attitude est classe
La liste est longue alors j'en passe au moins retiens ac :
Qui que tu sois, d'où que tu viennes et quoi que tu fasses
Si t'es tout ça à la fois, y'a pas plus Hip Hop que toi (X2)
Pourtant...
[Refrain]
J'ai des couplets aiguisés parce que les clichés ont la peau dure
(parce que les clichés ont la peau dure)
J'ai des couplets aiguisés parce que les clichés ont la peau dure
(parce que les clichés ont la peau dure)
