It is the right minute, the right hour to show my power
So, let me shine, bloom like a flower
For those who got too much self estime
Keep in mind that knowledge reigns supreme
I used to live fast, I knew you wouldn't last
So I changed and broke a bond with the past
I saw the things clear: life is a nightmare
You make money for a year then you out of there
Too bad in school you were so brillant
Street life and drugs sunk you into oblivion
You should dig in your brain
Girls are really hard to entertain?
No, yours like to be served
Ain't she greedy, don't you think she deserves
A smack: she's the arrow, you're the target
Can't you see she's inloved with your wallet
So heed the world of a brother who don't eat swine
In a positive line, and my mind is divine
Explode in a flow of melody
Open your eyes fight the tragedy, brother Wake up
Wake Up
Dieu, Allah n'ont jamais dit : Tuez pour nous
Alors pourquoi des pleurs, des cris, des morts partout
Les religions se veulent apôtres de la paix
Mais en leur nom combien d'enfants sont tombés?
Combien de petits corps chétifs ont plié
Sous le poids d'une croix qu'il n'ont jamais portée
Par la faute d'un homme qui s'est cru entité
Qui rassembla ses fils et leur cria : Tuez
Inutile de dire leurs armes, qui les fournissait?
La vie de mille hommes vaut bien moins que ses propres intérêts
La croyance est donc utilisée
Pour soutirer de l'argent, au peuple berné
Alors se retourne dans sa tombe St Vincent de Paul
En voyant que l'église est devenu un jeu de monopole
Pour le rôle principal à présent c'est la course
Bientôt l'ostie sera côtée en bourse
Monde réveille-toi, va au-delà de ta foi
Et prend conscience du fait que l'on abuse de toi
Tu dois arrêter dès à présent de fixer les cieux
Et regarder enfin la réalité dans les yeux
Il est aberrant qu'au nom de ça, il ait coulé tant de sang
Qu'il se soit déifié en affluant leurs dents
Faut-il qu'on vous secoue comme des shakers
Pour comprendre qu'à ce problème, il n'y a qu'une solution:
Wake up
Wake Up
You wake up in a world of combinations
Where is the future of the next generation
You go to school to get a good education
Work to live and live to strive for your nation
Down with my possee we refused to dig that
To admit that get played like "pitty pack"
The asiatic automatic Akhénaton, might be raw
But is a better paragon
Than any other rhymer unstable
Remains green like a ping pong table
Than any politician, I teach revelation
All kind of diss is a weak manifestation
Some say my brain is an encyclopedia
I guess it's why I don't lie like a media
I break the wrath of the evil in half
Strickliy science in this paragraph
Ulema IAM soul of islam
Listen, you will come to no harm
By the way in the light we rest
While the evil is plinged in the darkside of the mooncrest
A.K.H.E.N.A.T.O.N. is a pro and
Elaborates a battle plan with no end
This is the tongue of the truth, no fakin', no make up
Get up and stand up, fight for your rights, brother
Wake Up
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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
