We didn't wish for it, we didn't want it
After having plundered us, France continues to humiliate us
Social, racial discriminations
Economic inequalities, repressions
Yeah, France is putting pressure on us
It's all in the head
We don't want to let it happen, we want our share and respect
Preserve our freedom, no handcuffs on the wrists, it's war!

We didn't wish for it, but it's war
Growing up in the city, you know, it's war
Social inequalities my brother, it's war
France wants to harm us, normal, it's war
We're trying to get out of it my sister, it's war
We must build a better future, it's war
We're fighting for our parents, understand, it's war
We don't want our children to struggle, so it's war

We didn't wish for it, but it's war
Growing up in the city, you know, it's war
Social inequalities my brother, it's war
France wants to harm us, normal, it's war
We're trying to get out of it my sister, it's war
We must build a better future, it's war
We're fighting for our parents, understand, it's war
We don't want our children to struggle, so it's war

Since the euro, we suffer, it's war
France is on the brink, it's war
There's no more money, nowhere, it's crazy, it's war
Of course, it's the poorest they've declared war on
Whether we're Arabs or blacks, we're scapegoats
They only have two plans for us: prison and misery
If you want money and respect, make war
I love peace, but I can't deny it's war!

Eight Measures (?), my brother, it's war
How to get by with a small salary
You always feel like you're walking with your balls and ass in the air
His mother, it's the battlefield on the ground
Units, tanks, helicopters
The state is putting a lot of pressure on us, but we won't give up
Because I've eaten too much, been close to misery
The anger is released when the handcuffs tighten

Urban guerrilla for my barillas
Warrior 9.4, always in Serie A
Cruel on our streets, our cops, our politicians looking for a duel
Just tears and bodies at the end of the tunnel
Halls are set on fire in the suburbs, in high places
It's liquid in the middle
It cuts in the free zones, it becomes perilous
I can't even hear myself scream, it's shooting, everyone is tearing each other apart in this hubbub
So many acts of war and various facts in all our rat holes

We didn't wish for it, but it's war
Growing up in the city, you know, it's war
Social inequalities my brother, it's war
France wants to harm us, normal, it's war
We're trying to get out of it my sister, it's war
We must build a better future, it's war
We're fighting for our parents, understand, it's war
We don't want our children to struggle, so it's war

Coming from the working class, we have the weapons to wage war
I'm approaching my thirties and still here on the ter-ter
Mafia K'1 Fry, Black Panthers, 40 years later it's the same
Raise your guns, clench your fists, aim for the head if necessary
Let he who wants peace prepare for war, cross swords
I start so fast, avoid looking sideways
So I dress in khaki fatigues with a hood on my head
We shoot in the air to party, we shoot at you to wage war

It's war, in the streets the young ones are hustling
For a look, it fights, hand to hand between us and the police
It's war, there are pules-cra, seuses-cra, and cistes-ra
Outside it's the jungle, it doesn't hesitate big
It's war, the State has been giving us leftovers since we were little
We eat crumbs, we have so many gives dude, rubbing in the plate
It's war, we are often on edge, determined, armed
At dawn how many get up to go to work?

In this world of opportunists, Mafia K'1 Fry resists
Hardcore so we exist, still alive, too many racists
It's war, we have to unite, especially not divide
It's war in our streets, up to the music industry
It's the war of the biggest biff for the fam', we have to get out of it dude
I stayed authentic, I want the money to knock on my door dude
It's war, I don't lower my fatigues, my daily life is not fashion
Be determined, be brave, shut up, my friend reaction

We didn't wish for it, but it's war
Growing up in the city, you know, it's war
Social inequalities my brother, it's war
France wants to hurt us, normal, it's war
We're trying to get out of it my sister, it's war
We have to build a better future, it's war
We fight for our parents, understand, it's war
We don't want our children to struggle, so it's war

Ask the mayor, of Choisy-Le-Roi what has he done for his youth?
It's the insurgent K'1 Fry of the month, if unemployment is down
It's war, in our ghettos the State has abandoned us
They don't give a damn about the situation, they want to get rid of us with a high-pressure cleaner
Even in custody it's war, between Chiraquians and Sarkozists
Fuck their positive discriminations, their racist laws
Don't talk about integration, come to our suburbs it's war
Remember the riots, tomorrow will be worse than yesterday

It's war, that's how we land
100% zermi, K'1 Fry Mafia is the crew
Know that we fuck the State and Babylon
We represent all the large families raised by a woman without a man
I answer the call, I have hatred
They cut off my livelihood, it's my reason for being
This war is my reason for living, nothing in the belly, it's dry
And the worries are all digging into our heads, everything here is bought
Tired of debts, VAT, taxes, it's war

An emptiness to fill and a weapon in the middle of my socks
It's war, 3andek the police yshoufek 40 degrees, dry ass
10,000 thugs, high flights, Audi Q7
Arm wrestling with the civil guard
Bed of powder, tablets, pills, thinking about his family, feeding them
There are causes for which you have to be ready to die
It's war, siren, Bouna and Zied
Palestine, Jihad, Hijab, six letters: WAR
