Refrain :
Médine, aux mélodies des minarets
Une bête noire qui vit trop près d'une maison d'arrêt
Celui qu'on met à l'épreuve, qu'on accuse sans preuve
Issu d'un peuple de main-d'oeuvre
Qui ne parle que de guerre d'histoire/géographie
Qu'on penne à comprendre depuis l'écographie
Comprend la lettre « I » et le chiffre dans le « E »
Ca s'épelle M.É.D.I.N.E
Pourquoi je rap comme rugit le Lion ?
Pour trouver et apporter la solution
Non, je crois bien que c'est plus profond que ça
Grandir avec que ça de 12 à 22ans
C'est dans mes gênes, dans mes veines et dans ma peau
Parler de ce qui ne va pas c'est ça mon boulot
Un crayon, une feuille blanche et un bon dictionnaire
Pour combler les lacunes élémentaires
Moi je m'en veut d'avoir sécher des cours
D'avoir choisi la sortie plus que la roue de secours
On s'refait pas mais on se rappelle de nos erreurs
Il faut que je m'améliore avant que vienne mon heure
Face à la mort, le monde croit se dépêcher
Mais c'est comme vouloir mettre un terme à nos péchés
Mes projets ? la victoire décrocher
Avant d'entendre le clocher voir ma famille protégée
Ecoute ! moi j'ai rien de particulier
J'suis pas braqueur et mon discours est régulier
Là où je suis né, c'est là qu'est mon récit
Naturellement moi-même c'est risqué aujourd'hui
Ce n'est pas un chat que j'ai dans la gorge mais un tigre enragé
Alors j'le crache avant de finir allongé
Et ensuite je reviendrai aux minarets
Loin des miradors et des maisons d'arrêt
C'est ici à Médine que reposera mon esprit
Comprend l'immigration de toute une vie
Et adopte ma pensée le temps d'une musique
Ma vision de monument en mosaïque
De l'empire Ottoman jusqu'aux royaumes d'Asie
D'Andalousie en passant par les buildings de Malaisie
De l'ascension de Jésus à la chute de Rome
Jusqu'à la traite des Hommes
C'est mon histoire ! et c'est plus que la tienne
Je l'arracherai comme scalpe le Cheyenne
Et j'en ferai une chanson, un album ou un livre
Peu importe du moment qu'on la délivre
Alimenté par les conflits armés
Ce sont mes écrits et leur logique désordonnée
Un jour on m'a dit vouloir comprendre les humains
C'est comme vouloir stopper les vagues avec ses mains
On apprend l'importance des choses mais bien trop tard
Et tant qu'il y aura de la vie il y a de l'espoir
Que tu soit blanc, Magrébin ou d'Afrique noir
Ecoute mon histoire !
