Il est toujours à l'heure, à chacun d'nos rencards
Et il m'engueule même pas trop quand j'arrive un peu en r'tard
Je monte dans sa voiture et j'm'assois à côté d'lui
Pour qu'il m'emmène à la gare, à Roissy, à Orly
Rachid il est taxi depuis 15 longues années
En banlieue ou à Paris, il fait rarement la même tournée
Comme j'suis amené à voyager, j'le vois souvent et on discute
Rachid il est bavard, et avec lui j'apprends plein d'trucs
Sa voiture elle est grande et pis elle est toujours nickel
Rachid taxi il est serviable c'est un grand professionnel
Il fait jamais la moindre infraction au code de la route
Mais pour l'itinéraire le plus rapide, parfois j'ai des doutes
Dans la voiture de Rachid y'a toujours un peu les mêmes disques
Chanteurs français, chansons à textes, avec des mélodies tristes
Rachid il a quelques certitudes impossibles à déranger
Il dit qu'un bon chanteur ça doit être un artiste engagé
Rachid il aime la politique et il en fait, c'est toute sa vie
Et vu ses opinions, il aime pas que j'écrive pour Johnny
Moi j'lui dis qu'ça n'a rien à voir, et qu'faut pas tout mélanger
Mais Rachid taxi il est têtu et c'est pas moi qui vais l'changerRachid taxi quand il s'énerve il lâche l'accélérateur
Pendant une bonne embrouille, on roule à 10km heure
Si t'as pas envie d'louper ton train ou ton avion
Vaut mieux pas trop l'titiller, lui dire qu'il a raison
Rachid il a une opinion sur chaque sujet d'actualité
Il sort des bonnes chambrettes, un peu cyniques, mais vérité
Rachid c'est un sensible, un écorché et un vanneur
Et y'a d'émotion dans l'rétro quand il raconte la marche des beurs
Dans la voiture de Rachid y'a toujours un peu les mêmes disques
Chanteurs français, chansons à textes, avec des mélodies tristes
Il connaît bien les paroles, et il sait même jouer d'la guitare
Rachid, taxi parisien et chansonnier banlieusard
Rachid il aime écrire dans des journaux militants
Ou simplement quelques p'tits mots qu'il laisse traîner pour ses enfants
Ca, il aime sa famille, ça transpire dans chaque discussion
Et tant qu'son fils devient pas flic, il en parlera avec passion
Rachid taxi déteste prendre le périphérique
Y'a pas d'décor, y'a qu'des voitures et des radars automatiques
Il préfère traverser Paris et mettre le coude à la fenêtre
Pouvoir regarder les gens et allumer sa cigarette
Il connaît toutes les astuces et c'est vivant, Paris ça bouge
Il prend les couloirs de bus en observant, le feu est rouge
Il connaît bien Paris l'matin et démarre souvent avant l'soleil
C'est l'heure où moi je vais m'coucher, il est 5h, Paris s'éveille
Dans la voiture de Rachid y'a toujours un peu les mêmes disques
Chanteurs français, chansons à textes, avec des mélodies tristes
Ca met du cœur dans l'habitacle et du vécu dans l'atmosphère
Il est pilote, il est DJ, j'me laisse porter, le feu est vert
Parfois quand on a l'temps, on s'arrête prendre un p'tit plat
Avec le verre de rouge qui va bien pour accompagner un bon repas
Bah ouais Rachid il boit du vin, et il fait pas ramadan
Bien sûr il est croyant, il est musulman, pratiquement
Rachid il a un regard particulier qui crée du lien
Un regard de grand frère, le regard d'un mec bien
Un regard de tendresse, un regard un peu mouillé
Un regard concerné et des rêves un peu rouillés
Rachid il a un regard, un regard sur la vie
Un avis sur le monde et du monde dans son taxi
Si j'en fais une chanson elle sera pas très engagée c'est sûr
Mais si la mélodie est triste, elle passera p't'être dans sa voiture
