Medina France, not Made in Taiwan
Ok

I'm not Made in France when I see students in front of the CROUS
Queuing to get half a sandwich
Another text that we vilify, it's been a long time
Normal that I take the first blows if I'm always ahead of my time
I'm not Made in Algeria, generals, one hero
It's the people and there will never be a change of roles
I feel Algerian like those who weren't originally
Jacques Vergès, Frantz Fanon and Edith Piaf's grandmother
I'm not Made in Dubai, there's too much fuss there
There are only assholes, rich tax exiles from drop shipping
I'm older than their archipelago that came out of the ground yesterday
With their super tower that Indians weld
They have huge malls, playgrounds for all ages
The builders tarnishing the name of Ibn Battuta
Like a CBD shop called Bob Marley
The most violent streets are called "Gandhi", apparently

I'm not Made in Qatar, fuck football and soft power
The 2022 World Cup is full of workers' blood
From Nepalese, Sri Lankans and Filipinos
A thousand lives from India in containers like turkey fillet trays
I'm not Made in Russia which censors all podcasts
I don't want a president drunk on bad vodka
Who poisons his opponents with neurotoxins
Believes he can remake his people's image with plastic surgery
I'm not Made in USA, Made in America
They never went back to the Moon but twice to Iraq
There's been progress since blacks fought
But the most violent streets are those named after Martin Luther

At Thanksgiving, they remember the Indians
By genociding all the turkeys and moving on to Black Friday the next day
No peace pipe, light up blacks with human-sized weapons
No need to detail, it's the American mentality
I'm not Made in Africa and all its corruption
Wanting to be equal to Europe is clearly lacking ambition
Where misery is much better shared than wealth
Where there may be fewer graduates than S files
I'm not Made in Saudi, neither from Mecca, nor Riyadh
Who charge the elderly more than 3k for the pilgrimage
Not Made in el Madina, if my father gave me this name
It's to honor his friend, not to surf on history

Medina France
Medina France
Medina France
Medina France

Pure product of poor countries, I'm a palm tree from the Pays de Caux
From peripheral France like Adama, forgotten like Airbnb in Damascus
Politically, I'm a leftist Medinist
Between Ademo, N.O.S and Pierre Desproges
Every time I rap there's a lot of fuss
Every time I take a stand, I lose friends

I feel like pranking Valeurs Actuelles
Where there are more assholes than Nobel prizes
You would be ready to sell paper to trees
Even the fish are ashamed to be wrapped in your tarps
They are making us their worst enemies
When they address one of us like Pepita in Pyramid
Take baton blows in the nose like antigenic tests
If you speak up, you're just an Islamist, at best an indigenist
While they sell Rafales to the Emirates regime
or Total's fuel for the boats of the Burmese junta
While grandpa can no longer pay for his medical bed
If I were a healthcare worker, I would have already radicalized
They push back the retirement age
But advance the age of death
They say it's us who call for murder
Feel like throwing up until dawn
Does the state protect us? Or does the state protect itself from us?
I don't know if France is to be married, if we kiss or choke
I don't know if I should campaign or on the contrary limit myself
Are my family meals non-mixed meetings?
To feel integrated, I found nothing else but a flaw
When French loses its beauty, then it disfigures others
