Je suis un 100% métèque, importé d'un pays sec
Jadis vulgaire pion passé pièce maîtresse du jeu d'échec
Et si l'obscurité de ces mots encombre
C'est Dieu qui l'a voulu, j'ai dû trop jouer sur des cases sombres
En fait mon équipe se respecte c'est tout
Pas de pions, pas de roi, pas de reine, que des fous
Tous partis sur un échiquier pourri, vingt ans plus tard
Ils ont atteri sur du lapis lazuri
Ils disaient ce sont des ramasseurs d'oranges, des naïfs
Mais pas un faisait le mac devant des calibres et des canifs
La pro-latinité est mon rôle
Pas étonnant venant d'un napolitain d'origine espagnole
Les surnoms dont j'écope reflétaient bien l'époque
Je suis un de ceux qu'Hitler nommait nègre de l'Europe
Et j'en suis fier, peut-être sommes-nous trop coléreux
Mais le respect est sacré, on n'appelle pas nos parents: les vieux
Cousin, si tu changes de camp mon pauvre
Nous te rappellerons le temps où tu avais encore la morve
Elle te sera contée comme une fable grecque
L'histoire des métèques et mats et du jeu d'échec
{Refrain:}
Nous avons subi la loi des visages pâlesCar mat est le métèque
Pour dix balles, accompli les tâches et les travaux les plus sâles
Car mat est le métèque
Fascinés par le mirage des idéaux de modernité
Nos peuples se sont acculturés
C'est pourquoi la fierté
Demeure toute seule dans nos sacs
De métèques et mats
On dit que les jeunes envient ceux qui
Sont les seuls de ces quartiers à s'en être vraiment sortis
Peut-être est-ce vrai, mais je préfère évoquer
Le fait d'être heureux de ce que l'on est
Petit, on me racontait l'histoire de truands, de boss
Qui pouvaient saigner trois mecs puis bouffer des pâtes en sauce
Scarface, le film, est sorti, puis il a vrillé l'esprit
De beaucoup de monde et moi y compris
Tu venais voir chez moi, on te disait "Entra, entra, Pana
Bienvenue chez Tony Montana"
On nous a fait croire que l'on était des merdes et à force on l'a cru
Le stéréotype a pris le dessus
Aucun héros à notre image, que des truands
L'identification donne une armée de chacals puants
Donc le métèque est un pur produit génétique
De réactions racistes et de pays pompes à fric
Méfiez-vous de l'eau qui dort ou vous dormirez dans l'eau
Inimitiés sincères du plus cruels des "Zingaros'
De nouvelles pièces arrivent, la défense éclate
En échec par des métèques et mats et c'est foutu pour toi mon gars
{au Refrain}
Fini le temps où les bazanés étaient des esclaves
Les pauvres larves sont sorties de leurs enclaves
Les uns ont engendré une génération d'ingénieurs
Les autres des crapules attendant un monde meilleur
Mais les aspirations sont les mêmes
Fonder un foyer, trouver une femme qui les aime, sans problème
Mais l'oppression de la société est telle
Que riches ou pauvres, ils pêlent et en gardent les séquelles
Numéro 7 l'a condamné, pourtant cette idée roule
Etre agressif de nos jours devient de plus en plus cool
Tu chahutes fort dans la masse mais que feras-tu
Quand une équipe de fondus te tombera dessus?
Les valeurs changent, les gens sont fous
Pourquoi faut-il que le respect s'enseigne avec les coups
Ou un de plus donné est une victoire?
Mais j'opte pour le profil bas, à la manière de mon ami appelé Nouar
Tu dis ne pas avoir de scrupules tu mens
Et tu peux croire un des ex-prisonniers de l'Aimant
Et si je retombe quand tu t'emploies à tes coups bas
Il y aura toujours un métèque pour s'occuper de toi
{au Refrain}
