J'ai vu l'jour dans Hochelaga
Dans ce quartier malfamé
Berceau du prolétariat
Et du monde toujours cassé
Mon père était un gros cochon
Qui pognait les cuisses de ma soeur
Dépensait ses payes en boisson
Pis rentrait tout l'temps aux p'tites heures
On s'bataillait dans 'ruelle
A grand coup de manche de pelle
Pis si t'écoeurait mon p'tit frère
J't'étempait à coup de barre de fer
J'ai mis l'feu à mon école
Quand j'avais 13-14 ans
Pas b'soin d'te dire qu'j'tais pas une grosse bolle
J'avais d'la graine de délinquant
Scèner dans'rue une clope dans'bouche
Avec mes potes aux allures louches
Apostropher des prostituées pour des minouches
Buster des chars, voler des piaules
Fumer du pot pis faire le drôle
Ma mère disait qu'j'allais finir ma vie en tôle
Fa'qu'y m'ont mis avec les bums
Dans une école de réforme
Y pensaient ben m'avoir cassé
Mais l'jour où y m'ont libéré
J'ai glandé un peu dans l'métro
J'me su' r'trouvé rue Ontario
Au volant d'un char volé
A'ec mes chums d'la rue Cuvillier
J'me su' calmé pendant un bout d'temps
Pour faire plaisir à ma maman
J'ai arrêté d'boire d'la robine
J'me suis trouvé 2-3 jobines
J'ai été su'a livraison d'pizza
Lavé les chiottes d'un centre d'achats
Et comme un bon contribuable
J'étais payé en d'sous d'la table
Mais comme le travail ça rend con
Et que j'ai pas d'éducation
J'me su' payé une belle p'tite business à mon nom
Une agence d'escortes de rapaces
Jolies hôtesses qui se déplacent
Et qui réaliseront tous vos fantasmes...
Faqu'y m'ont mis avec les pas bons
Entre les 4 murs d'une prison
Y pensaient ben m'avoir cassé
Mais l'jour où y m'ont libéré
J'ai glandé un peu dans l'métro
J'me su' r'trouvé rue Ontario
Au volant d'un char volé
Avec une pute à mes côtés...
J'ai décidé d'me r'prendre en main
Pour dev'nir un bon citoyen
J'me su' inscrit aux cours du soir
Histoire de finir mon secondaire
J'ai lâché ça ça pas pris d'temps
Pour aller jouer les gigolos
Avec une bourgeoise au cul ben gros
A qui je flobbais tout'l'argent
On est allé dans des soirées
Avec du monde un peu fancy
Où cé qu'y avait du fromage qui pue des pieds
J'ai commencé à m'emmerder
D'jaser a'ec du monde cultivé
La politique pis l'vin j'en ai rien à branler....(oh yeah!)
Fa'que j'ai glandé un peu dans l'métro
J'me su' r'trouvé rue Ontario
Au volant d'un char volé
Avec une fille des bas quartiers
Adieu la vie, salut mes potes
Chu r'venu dans Hochelaga
A'ec mon couteau, mon sac de pot
Mon char pis mon secondaire 3...
