From now on, the past will be erased
In order to move forward, you will paint a new future

The first time I saw the truth face to face (yeah)
I had to understand the system that was being put in place (ok)
Our brains are complex and many of our attachments (what?)
We write it ourselves with what we show and what we hide (ok)
Does my life boil down to generating cash? (No)
Will I suffer the product of my education?
If I receive violence, do I redistribute it
Or do I strengthen my armor to stop the degradation
Together, we all form a nation
No one learns to think for yourself, the answer is in the question
But the day you decide to jump the barriers
And fly like a free spirit, you won't even feel the pressure anymore
The truth is in the sound of a voice when it lies
In the eyes or in the movements, it's just in front of you, big
It's in the love of your loved ones despite their lesions
In the strength that makes you get up tomorrow for your mission

Hmm, the truth is right in front of you
Hmm, the truth is right in front of you (in front of you, right in front of you)
Hmm, the truth is right in front of you (in front of you, it's right in front of you)
Hmm, the truth is right in front of you (in front of you, right in front of you)
Hmm, hmm
But it's in front of you, it's right in front of you
Open your eyes
In front of you, right in front of you
If you refuse to see certain things, you won't see them
But it's in front of you, it's right in front of you
Open your eyes

Money before good times, they consider my dreams incinerated
We enlighten them when we immolate ourselves
I didn't think we'd ignore each other like Simone, because of the amount
I didn't think we'd sign or assign me (yeah)
I'm not even telling you what these ulcerated guys told me
When they saw that I was tightening my jeans and that I would negotiate my deal (without a manager)
Who could believe that I would dodge their ceremonies
That Paris Sud would be my hideout, that Île-de-France would be my island
That on the highest of these trees, I would make a nest
A migratory bird with pan-Africanist thoughts
I'm not in Paris frequently, frequently but no city has scarred me like it
I understand the rioters, if you want to know, I even frequent them
I remember the nes-ski that we ves-qui in the square
Now the squa is in the kiosks, who dares what?
I'm sure mama, my label ensures the mesh (ooh)
I reassure the dead, we are many on the map, yeah

Hmm, the truth is right in front of you
Hmm, the truth is right in front of you (in front of you, right in front of you)
Hmm, the truth is right in front of you (in front of you, it's right in front of you)
Hmm, the truth is right in front of you (in front of you, right in front of you)
Hmm, hmm
But it's in front of you, it's right in front of you
Open your eyes
In front of you, you have to weigh up
If you refuse to see the ball, well, you won't see it
Erase your steps, display a pope's face, Nekfeu

The first time I saw the truth face to face
I realized that I was just a coward, living out of sync, out of sync, out of sync
