At the beginning, there was only emptiness, neither cities nor men
These fools greedy for banknotes
Only the emptiness, after a little while, balala-big-bang, here comes the Big Bang
Thousands of particles collide in the void
Multiply in the abyss like sperm
Here comes the Earth, but it's just a barren land
Sorry scientists, I know this will make you laugh

There was no water, only volcanoes and lava
In the middle of the beyond, it wasn't worth the walk
But humans weren't there, so it was calm
Later in the verse, this will no longer be the case

The appearance of water was a big step, the blue planet, it's wonderful
A U-turn in the infinite universe that extends from galaxy to nebula
I'm moved, I continue because here appear the microbes
Cells divide in mitosis, there's life in the water, nothing in the air
Aquatic creatures with funny names
Here's when he lands on Earth and struggles

Everything starts from him, yeah, everything starts from there
Come on my guy, look, he was growing legs
Don't stop, I'm fascinated by the show
He walks with a proud gait, my friends, here are the mammals
The machine is launched, no one can do anything about it
Listen my little one because everything is hereditary
All this continues until the monkey, who do you think is next?
When one of them stands on two legs
I don't know if you realize the impact

Here's our friend, the australopithecus, from here, I'm going to go faster, dude
The rest is in all the libraries
Shh, don't talk about it with the priest

Humans organize themselves into societies, change gods according to places
And kings, according to laws, overall, he invented everything
The wheel and fire, so today, he believes in himself
Armies and walls, swords and battles
Knights or the Maasai, on earth, it's chaos
Money is cattle, cutting each other for the medal
Life is just a detail of this Battle Royale

But don't be afraid little one, don't worry there are not only bastards
There is art and beauty in the pile, magnificent palaces of polished stones
Palettes of places for all the master's paintings in the cathedrals
And all the dishes in the palaces, you see, there's a gap
The best or the worst, that's what we're capable of
I see you're turning pale, for the worst, it's not your fault
You weren't there, don't cry, it's not serious

Quickly, Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance
The discovery of America, the slavery that goes with it
The revolution in Paris, then the kings who lose their heads
Two world wars, deportation, the heart was not in the mood for celebration

All this so that my parents meet, have sex and I am born
That I grow up, and that I speak, and that I rap, and that I break through
In any case, humanity has done everything
Until this moment when you're listening to this verse

If we concentrate the history of the universe over a year
The Big Bang occurs on January 1st
The Earth forms in early September
Life appears on the 9th
On December 31st, the great apes arrive at 2pm
Homo sapiens, modern man
As modern as Bigflo & Oli, arrives at 11:48pm

Of course, the past and the future go hand in hand
Teleported there, you will have no more landmarks
Just imagine the evolution that humanity will make
Since the world is moving at the speed of light

We see quickly that in gigantic cities where buildings pile up
We might only eat insect vitamins
And vacuum-packed food, in bars, disgusting that they deliver to us in packs
Steak and fries in twenty milliliters
Big Macs in small pills, at the bottom of the bag
We will have forgotten all the colors of vegetables
And living on the Moon but like gaping in front of a tomato plant
In the museum of ancient times, we will see the stuffed animals from before
Forks to show how people ate
Squares of grass under glass, and framed flowers

Imagine the state of the flora and fauna
New finger on the hand to hold the iPhone
A chip at the back of the head, we changed the game
No more bikes, no more skates, there will only be drones
Cancer cured in two weeks, AIDS vaccine saves the human race
Life expectancy calculated in a test
Modification of synthetic biological genomes
Chemical battles, no more bullets, no tanks, Elon Musk on banknotes
Quintessence, constant evolution, expanding galaxies, big Freeze, Big Bang

In the beginning, there was only emptiness
But the challenge of life has only damaged the threads of humanity
Unlimited greed in the city
To push the damn past to try heads or tails
You get it, you show off? But in the time of a frame
You leave the game, you fuck then you freeze
You will fill the dumpster like clothes in a thrift store
You win or you lose while time crumbles
A film and fame for the atoms that avoid each other
Barely time to live, here you end up dead
You can say, "Please, help the sky"
All your grandchildren will have already forgotten your face

Religions may eventually merge all conflicts of confessions
With time are forgiven, holograms lead us
Robotics is politics, photos, only statistics
And the base rate of data
Technological revolution, demographic evolution
Diplomatic relations, digital revelation
And the world is going too fast, and time is ungrateful
Where the avant-gardists are the future has-beens

(A little scared) but I'm not going to know it
(Wholeheartedly) for the fight of the planet
(Gently) yeah, humans who connect
(All in their) tragedy
(The greatness) of humanity will be reborn
(A quarter of an hour) for thousands of kilometers
(The authors) will tell you on the internet
(That a rapper) had predicted it

But, have you seen the state of the world? Hunger, bullets and bombs
Tell Galileo he was right, the Earth was round
From the ecu to ethereum, those who lived in Rome
Too shocked to pay to visit the Coliseum
From voice to CD-ROM (neurons) linked like telecoms
Libraries burn, so Google Chrome, 14 Carbon, speculations
Who will burst the bubble gum bubble?

I'm stepping on it, and I'm taking off from where I see men
We are earthworms if the planet is an apple
And you know that a war is the best PR stunt
And in millennia, who will listen to the album?
I prick and I poke, the tics and the tocs, I emptied the stocks
I leaked the posts, we aimed for the top, to cheat or flop
Rigged the votes, it's going too fast my friend, we only have one life
So I should stop

It's going way too fast
