On ne les voit pas, là où on l'on passe de branche en branche
Ils veulent que nos vies se déplacent en rang
Surtout pas que leurs et nos mômes dansent ensemble
Ou pire, s'amourachent et se fréquentent sans soupir
Ils prennent nos grosses basses pour des tambours de guerre
Alors ils nous la font perchés sur le mic', on observe et ça les énerve
Tout ce qu'ils attendent c'est qu'on nous muselle
Et qu'on rentre dans le rang, si possible à grands coups de pelle
Tu sais je vis de petits riens, leurs gueules de petits saints
Veulent que moi, le petit singe, je devienne un petit chien
À leur guise, fasse le beau, donne la patte
Et la ferme sans dire un mot et rapporte leurs balles
Quoi? Est-ce nos écrits qui gênentà Est-ce une question de gènes?
Une culture indigène qu'ils voient comme une chose indigeste
Non désolé, il n'y a pas de gun sous ma veste
Juste un cœur qui bat et qui ne veut pas qu'on le prive d'oxygène
Au volant des 4x4 avec des grosses basses dans le coffre
On est ces bêtes à 4 pattes qui font changer les modes
Si on voulait on pourrait même faire pencher le vote
De cette jungle on irait jusqu'à fissurer le socle
Ton fils aime nos sons de macaques, Freedom
Ta fille aime nos sons de macaques, Freedom
Leurs potes aiment nos sons de macaques, Freedom
Alors mange toi du gros son de macaque, Freedom
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
Comme un cerf-volant, on veut prendre les airs
Ici-bas, trop souvent on nous somme de nous taire
Ouais, mais ça on ne sait pas le faire, ça les fout en colère
Alors leurs médias s'en prennent à nos s?urs et nos frères
À l'époque on était ces ados, dans le métro, sautant les tourniquets
On a tué dégun, non, on n'a pas tout niqué
C'est juste, qu'on était jeunes, sauvages et libres
Nos cris résonnaient dans le quartier vide
Laisse-moi te dire que nos vies, ce n'est pas de l'eau de coco, poto
Beaucoup voudraient bien nous attacher au poteau, poto
Face à leur bêtise, on brandit le stylo, oh oh !
On dirait que ça ne va pas s'arrêter d'aussitôt
Coco, on change l'ordre établi, désarmés, les mots, la mitraille franche
Pas de tape à l'?il, rien qu'une paire de Nike blanche
Qui va casquer l'addition des pots cassés ?
Diamants de Bokassa, eux se sont déjà placés
Ils disent il y a trop de zulus sur les ondes
Trop de gars qui droppent des rimes, comme ils droppent leurs bombes aux 4 coins du monde
A chaque seconde un gosse tombe et leur compte grossit
Oui tout a un prix, freedom, démocratie
Ton fils aime nos sons de macaques, Freedom
Ta fille aime nos sons de macaques, Freedom
Leurs potes aiment nos sons de macaques, Freedom
Alors mange toi du gros son de macaque, Freedom
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
Ouais c'est moi le macaque, le Hip Hop est ma liane
