J'veux les miens libres, de voir et de dire
De pleurer, de rire, de tomber, de se relever et pouvoir repartir
Fini de subir, libre de choisir
De grandir, d'oublier et de redécouvrir
Bien au-delà de ce qu'on nous enseigne, doute et peur entrent en scène
Tant de cœurs, tant de chaînes
On dit que la vie est une chienne, il n'y a plus qu'à la dresser
Agressés de toutes parts, ils aimeraient voir nos fois s'affaisser
Nos poings se baisser, résignés comme l'oiseau blessé
Mais l'horizon appelle notre ADN, pousse à lui céder
A chaque instant obsédés
On recherche l'infini sans barrières, sans limites, sans matériel à posséder
Ils veulent fermer nos esprits, on fera sauter les scellés
On fera l'inverse de ce qu'ils disent, unis et pas isolés
La liberté c'est une chemise qu'on aimerait tous enfiler
Mais quand elle se change en armure, beaucoup pensent à se défiler
Vas-y, cours
Te retourne pas, cours
Fais comme le vent, cours
Les écoute pas, cours
Regarde devant, cours
Relève la tête, cours
Ouvre les yeux, cours
Embrasse le monde
Et sois ce que tu veux
Make we remember, these things Fela talk you
Oh Fela talk you
Make we remember, these things Kwame Nkrumah talk you
Oh Kwame Nkrumah talk you
On se souvient de ce que Malcom nous a légué
Et l'héritage que Martin Luther nous a laissé
Make we remember, these things Marcus Garvey talk you
Oh, Marcus Garvey talk you
Make we remember, these things Lumumba talk you
Oh, Lumumba talk you
Make we remember, these things Malcom X talk you
Oh, Malcom X talk you
Make we remember, these things Martin Luther talk you
Oh, Martin Luther talk you
Make we remember, these things Sankara talk you
Oh, Sankara talk you
Make we remember, these things Mandela talk you
Oh, Mandela talk you
Remember
Chacun de nos sons aiguisés
Scient des bareaux, dansent ensemble sur le carreau
On sait que la vérité n'est pas celle des gourous paros
Pourquoi je changerais ? Mon opinion est celle d'avant
On bouge tous à la même cadence, le but final c'est chiller
Mon assiette vide n'a pas rempli mon cœur de haine, non
Elle m'a montré le chemin pour défaire mes chaînes, bon
Seuls, libres, sans milice, je vois tous ces gens se fliquer
Cachés derrière un sobriquet, dire que le méchant c'est Mickey
Le crime est commis chez le doc, quand il gave l'ordonnance
On chie sur notre part de monde, pour avoir notre part de France
Et ils se paient le vivant, on sacrifie le vivre ensemble
En validant de la merde posés sur le divan
Ça mystifie la justice, la force devient l'héroïne
D'un exode sans peuple avec des milliers de Moïse
Des faux prophètes égoïstes lâches envers l'univers
Tout ça se finira sous un déluge d'astéroïdes
On court ensemble car seuls ils marchent pour le mauvais
On pense futur, sans vendre notre cul pour le progrès
On se souvient de ce que Mandela a légué
Et de ce que Bob nous enseignait dans ses reggaes
Make we remember, these things Fela talk you
Oh Fela talk you
Make we remember, these things Kwame Nkrumah talk you
Oh Kwame Nkrumah talk you
On se souvient de ce que Fela nous a légué
Et l'héritage que nous a laissé Marcus Garvey
Make we remember, these things Marcus Garvey talk you
Oh, Marcus Garvey talk you
Make we remember, these things Lumumba talk you
Oh, Lumumba talk you
Make we remember, these things Malcom X talk you
Oh, Malcom X talk you
Make we remember, these things Martin Luther talk you
Oh, Martin Luther talk you
Make we remember, these things Sankara talk you
Oh, Sankara talk you
Make we remember, these things Mandela talk you
Oh, Mandela talk you
IAM is a French hip hop group from Marseille, formed in 1989. The group consists of Akhenaton (Philippe Fragione), Shurik'n (Geoffroy Mussard), Freeman (Malek Brahimi), Kheops (Eric Mazel), Imhotep (Pascal Perez) and Kephren (Francois Mendy). The acronym IAM has several interpretations, including 'Invasion Arrivee de Mars' ('Invasion from Mars'). Mars is often used as a metaphor for Marseille in IAM's songs. Considered pioneers of French rap, IAM have contributed to defining the sound and culture of hip hop in France. Their lyrics, often political and social, reflect the realities of everyday life in Marseille and the suburbs of France. Among their most representative tracks are 'Je danse le Mia', 'Petit Frère' and 'Le Chant du Désert'. IAM has released several successful albums, including 'L'école du micro d'argent' (1991) and 'Philibert' (1997).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
