I'm exhausted, I'm tired of fighting my own
I wouldn't be surprised if they kill me with their own hands
Us, I want to believe in it
But I'm afraid this "us" is just an illusion
All followers of every man for himself
No one respects us and I think I know why
We are greedy and divided,
We get fooled, we don't even form a community
Preoccupied by need
Are we all short-sighted, unable to see far
We don't want good, we want gain
Even if it means destroying the common interest
We live in ignorance of the stakes
And despite ourselves, the media have put us in the game
Manipulated like pawns, everyone bets on our division
We suffer from xenophobia
Unable to organize ourselves into a lobby
We will always be beggars at the gates of their world
As long as we believe that respect is begged
Respect is imposed and the struggle is economic
Observe the Asian community
We make a lot of noise and few figures
We give few blows and receive a lot of slaps
Impunity, the media dirty us
Because, aware that insulting us carries no risk
We don't scare anyone, we are the laughing stock of all
And our riots take place far from the Elysée
Apart from burning a few cars
Of poor people like us and sabotaging our own structures
Where is our Revolution, where is our evolution
We have been in France for several generations and where are we?
Even if it hits me hard
Forced to note that we are at the bottom of the social ladder
In the crosshairs of the media there is no one more targeted than us
So you, explain to me why there is no more divided
We complain about racism but aren't we racist ourselves?
It's them against us but especially us against ourselves
Algerians against Moroccans, Moroccans against Tunisians
Antilleans against Maghrebians, Maghrebians against Africans
Turks among themselves even in mosques our hearts have divided
Everyone wants to lead, everyone wants to dominate
And refuses to consider that the best may be Pakistani
We can ask ourselves the question, who are the most racist?
Just observe the problems posed by mixed marriages
We can't blame others for what we are ourselves
I'm pointing out where it hurts, it's normal that this text bothers you
There will never be evolution without deep questioning
And is there anything crazier than a madman who thinks he's right
Should I clarify my vision?
As long as we take ourselves for what we are not
We will run in all directions, but we will never take a single step
Poverty cannot excuse
The fact of behaving like uncivilized
Constant aggression and insults
In the end, only benefit those who make us look like uncultured
Only benefit those who hate us
Designate us as a problem and for that they dirty us
Realize that you serve as a useful idiot as long as you have no vision
If you don't like getting beaten, why hold out the stick?
You want to bring down the system, vomit the pill
And start by refusing to let it manipulate you
For a rebellion to succeed, it must be thought out
And I know, you can't lead a revolution with your pants down
And those who enter politics betray us
Take pleasure in the role of the Arab or Black of service
It takes little to corrupt them not that the system deceives them
We only serve as a mop when we crawl
You've lost and you're lost when you start to hope
Become someone by denying your identity
They have a hard time lasting because betrayal is disposable
And every traitor sits on an ejector seat
As for those of ours who succeed
They are forced to flee before jealousy punishes them
Because in the heart of the envious and in the eyes of the incapable
Success makes you guilty
Is it an excuse, to justify selfishness and escape the past in a Lexus?
Hard to reach out without getting your arm cut off
But if I don't take care of my own, who will?
It's only with us that success also leads to a dead end
Because the last ones want to kill you for the 1st place
And your missing brothers that you continue to mourn
It's not cops who killed them
We are the first victims of our own violence
The sign of our deep ignorance
We kill each other for hash, coke or cash
And soon we will kill each other for a clash
Need for solidarity if we want to hope one day to be able to leave precariousness
It's not just by hating others that we build ourselves
In your mirror you sometimes see your worst enemy
I will never be your leader
I don't have the virtue, the value, or the rigor
If I have a merit, it's that of having tried
And if I have a claim let it be that of loving you
And the one who loves does not cheat
I paint a dark portrait but I only describe what I see
Come back to earth, let your illusions take to the sea
When your eyes open, you will make this bitter observation like me
This bitter observation, this bitter observation, this bitter observation.

Need for solidarity if we ever hope to leave precarity one day
It's not just by hating others that we build ourselves
In your mirror, you sometimes see your worst enemy
All followers of every man for himself
No one respects us and I think I know why
We are greedy and divided
We get fooled, we don't even form a community

Need for solidarity if we ever hope to leave precarity one day
It's not just by hating others that we build ourselves
In your mirror, you sometimes see your worst enemy
All followers of every man for himself
No one respects us and I think I know why
We are greedy and divided
We get fooled, we don't even form a community
