[Akhenaton]
Si tu pouvais voir ce qui brûle dans mon thorax
Ma vie j'la dois au rap, j'la dois à l'orage
J'ai pas eu l'parcours de pt'its cons dans la hype, non
Adolescent j'étais pas le king de la night, non
J'avais mon groupe c'était l'Criminosical
On trainait près des bars à pute à deux pas du Pussycat
J'ai embrassé la nuit sur ses lèvres
Et la rue m'a pris par la main
Elle a fait d'moi un putain d'bon élève
Debout jusqu'à la fin
J'ai pris les blocs qui m'entouraient
Au fil de l'épée avec mes mains comme Saladin
Pourquoi confier mes s'crets
Dans le boulot tête claire
Mon imagination j'laisse faire
J'écris mes BO des cages à lapins
Au jour le jour mes traits s'allongent sur la feuille
Non j'pense toujours pas à demain
J'suis c'que l'rap a créé d'plus solide
Tu t'pêtes le dos sur deux pignons d'olives
Y'a pas d'amour ici, cette guerre à plein régime
Régie par les lois du bitume qu'importe les origines
J'ai du rater un truc : "Peace, Love et Having fun"
Sont devenus "Bitch Drogue et Heavy Gun"
Rares sont ceux qui ont des roses à offrir
Bienvenue à la table garnie au fish et aux frites
Où le sens de la vie s'est égaré dans la brume
Où les p'tits ne savent pas poser un nom sur un légume
Au coeur du pire ennui j'ai posé ma balise
Élaboré mon plan attendant que Dieu me l'avalise
Depuis dans c'pré où les vassaux me tolèrent
J'écris un peu tous les jours les raisons de ma colère
[Refrain]
Quand on se tue à la tâche, pour rien dans la récolte
Normal que les vents portent la révolte
Que la terre où l'on marche est labourée par des molaires
Comprenez vous au moins les raisons de la colère ?
[Shurik'n]
J'ai toujours le feu depuis l'jour où j'ai croisé sa route
J'ai appris à voir dans le noir et occis tous les doutes
On a voulu m'parquer mais j'ai flairé le piège à loup
Et la passion m'a enlevé et élevé comme une louve
Grain d'sel dans l'océan j'ai pas voulu m'dissoudre
J'ai remonté l'courant jusqu'à ce qu'une autre porte s'ouvre
Il m'fallait un ailleurs là bas ça sentait trop le souffre
Par manque d'envie combien des nôtres croupissent dans les douves
Laisse moi traîner ma plume sur cette route immaculée
Semer les graines les plus dures les mots les plus ciselés
Sans but, isolé, déçu, l'abandon les recrute
Et le vide les attend pour les faire rissoler
J'suis désolé
C'est pas ma faute si les esprits les plus durs
Commencent à vaciller sous l'poids de leur bracelets
Du coup le monde s'arrête là au coin de la rue
Tellement sûrs d'échouer qu'au final ils n'essaient même plus du tout
Et ça tombe dans l'facile, ça grossit les statistiques
Ça fait des choix douteux aux moments les plus fatidiques
Aucun exemple à l'horizon la place est désertique
Il en faut peu aux affamés pour brûler leurs principes
A force d'entendre qu'on était bons à rien
Beaucoup ont fini par le croire
Quoi ? Pourquoi je sers les dents ?
Mais qu'est ce que tu veux que je fasse d'autre ?
Je veux pas me faire avaler
Y'a une goutte d'avenir à glaner
Laisse moi foncer droit dessus au lieu de rester assis à râler
Trop de barrières, moi je veux les voir les vertes vallées
Si je fatigue c'est le courage qui va me chaler, aller
Maintenant j'ai plus le temps, les aiguilles tournent vite
Et je veux pas finir par me dire que la vie c'était mieux avant
J'suis personne aucun être sur terre ne me fera taire
Sur ma feuille j'étale toutes les raisons de ma colère
[Refrain]
Quand on se tue à la tâche, pour rien dans la récolte
Normal que les vents portent la révolte
Que la terre où l'on marche est labourée par des molaires
Comprenez vous au moins les raisons de la colère ?
