Imagine un matin la ville de Lille
Cette heure sonne ce matin en ville de Lille (x2)
J'ai 17 ans, j'arrive ici en 1964
Une valise à la main, toujours prêt à me battre
En descendant du bateau ils m'demandent de changer d'nom
Mais j'leur dis : « J'm'appelle Mohamed, pas Stephane » et j'dis :
« non »
J'suis à la mine, zebda dans la chicorée noire est ma mine
On fonctionne au salaire et la prime
Entre les ch'tis, les polaks, drôle de langue qu'on m'baragouine
On vit dans des baraques pour une France qui nous baratine
Mais c'i pas grave, moi j'suis ici que pour l'oseille
Dans c'drôle de pays où il n'y a jamais de soleil
J'amasse et j'envoie l'flouse direct au pays
Et puis j'rentre et direct j'me marie
J'viens d'Maroc, du protectorat
En France, ils disent qu'y'a du taff, des droits et des syndicats
J'vais choisir la fille la plus Miedda, p't-être pas la plus zwina
Loin de Lille, Lille la médina.
refrain:
Imagine un matin, imagine, la ville de Lille
Lille, Lille ma médina
Cette heure sonne ce matin, en ville cette heure sonne de Lille
Dans Lille ma médina
Imagine un matin, la ville imagine de Lille
Lille ma médina
Cette heure sonne ce matin en ville cette heure sonne de Lille
Dans Lille la médina.
Moi, j'ai pas d'année, j'arrive ici en 75
Un jour de pluie, ciel gris, sous le froid qui pince
Né dans une de ces cités
dortoirs, quartier où tu saisis très tôt où sont les nécessités
A la maison on parle l'arabe et en dehors le français
Je suis l'fils de Mohamed, à l'école, faut toujours qu'jsois le
premier
Ma mère aurait voulu qu'jsois docteur
Je suis l'aîné donc tu vois, j'ai pas l'droit à l'erreur
Mais savait-elle comment on nous parlait dehors ?
J'm'appelle Hicham et pas Stéphane, voilà c'qui dérange les porcs
Mais savait-elle comment mes potes partaient dans l'halam
où tout autour s'écroulait, que j'pouvais pas trouver le salam
J'ai eu d'la chance, j'suis passé au travers du filet
J'me réfugiais dans la zic pour pas dealer
Je choisirai p't-être pas la fille la plus zwina
Mais elle sera de Lille, Lille ma médina.
Imagine un matin, imagine, la ville de Lille
Lille, Lille ma médina
Cette heure sonne ce matin, en ville cette heure sonne de Lille
Dans Lille ma médina
Imagine un matin, la ville imagine de Lille
Lille ma médina
Cette heure sonne ce matin en ville cette heure sonne de Lille
Dans Lille la médina.
J'm'appelle Tarek, j'naîtrai plus tard à Lille
Mon père, c'est Axiom, un rappeur dans les années bissextiles
Il est « beur » comme il aime pas qu'on dise
Moi j'suis son fils et j's'rai docteur, ouais, quoi qu'il en dise
Paraît qu'cétait dur avant, que j'ai grandi dans l'confort
Que maint'nant c't'avec les slaves que les gens jouent les porcs
Pour le taff, ils sont arrivés en masse de l'Est
Maintnant c'est vrai, les gens les craignent comme la peste
En vérité, moi j'suis français, j'me sens pas concerné
Z'ont qu'à travailler et arrêter de faire chier
J'suis en privé, j'travaille bien à l'école
Loin du halam, mon père n'a toujours pas trouvé le salam
Moi, quand j's'rai grand, je m'barrai loin d'cette ville
D'son ciel gris, d'sa pluie, à mille lieues, mille !
Et j'choisirai la femme la plus zwina
Loin d'cette maudite ville, Lille la médina !
Imagine un matin, imagine, la ville de Lille
Lille, Lille ma médina
Cette heure sonne ce matin, en ville cette heure sonne de Lille
Dans Lille ma médina
Imagine un matin, la ville imagine de Lille
Lille ma médina
Cette heure sonne ce matin en ville cette heure sonne de Lille
Dans Lille la médina. (x2)
Imagine un matin, la ville de Lille
Cette heure sonne ce matin, en ville de Lille.
