You've killed respect, capricious generation
You've sold our values and our values are precious
You don't even respect your mothers, you want everything and right away
In the face of your attitudes, respect has taken flight

With you it's always the same, criticizing us is easy
But we have the same bracelet not far from Achilles' heel
We followed your paths so we go through prison
Noon-midnight at the bottom of the tower has become our motto

You'll have to nuance your speech because our mistakes are different
We stole out of necessity, do you understand the difference?
We were never proud of having sold drugs
You roll a joint in front of your mother, astonishing generation

Killing moralizers we're here because of you
You spat on Europe so how can we feel at home?
Few of you are graduates, it's the excuse of poverty
You are impostors disguised as big shots of the city

I think you didn't quite understand what I'm trying to explain
Yes, we made mistakes but we never bragged about it
For you, a strong man is a rich man, who has been through prison
Ready to do anything to succeed, even if it means losing your mind

We haven't lost our minds, we do things our way
You have to live in your time, I don't understand your reflections
Your speeches were victimizing, we make things move
Whether you admit it or not, we have changed things

Indeed, you have changed our codes
I don't recognize myself in you
You are champions of discord
TikTok generation, SnapChat generation
Insta' generation but unstable generation

Unstable generation? But you were burning cars
And then without any shame you talk to us about righteousness
Every era has its vices, every era has its problems
But through our two eras our struggles are the same

Our struggles are not the same we fought against racism
If today we respect you it's thanks to us little victims
You are victims of your choices, victims of society
What we have built, you have destroyed it you know

You started the work but we finished it
Our generation is up to the task, yeah old man we've grown up
We drive in big cars, you are finished products
We bring in money and mom is safe

Mom is safe? With the money from the bibi?
Basically, that's what I was saying, you didn't understand anything
You're doing exactly what the state is asking you to do
Playing too much with fire, you populate cemeteries

Conspiracy theorist speech and still as paranoid
Backward generation, generation of marginals
We tried to see a little further than the city
And when we fell, we always got up

But everything you do we did except for us it was harder
Our dealers are graduates but the street was safer
Once again we fought so that you could work
At the time with a diploma it wasn't won

It's still not today I sent a bunch of CVs
But seeing my family name these dogs never called me back
Then I admit I'm not qualified for this fucking society
But my sister is a graduate so why did they refuse her?

Because racism still exists in some societies
But she will eventually find because your sister is a graduate
And that's also what you have to do you have to finish your studies
Dirty money is a poison so go back to your studies

Sorry old man I have other cats to whip
I think I'm in a dead end a bit like Béné
So it's "Now I need money
Tell me what's the point of studying"
Anyway in Brussels we're grilled
I don't need their diplomas, I need bills

We've lived the same problems but our times are different
The bag full of machakil you make your parents cry
Posed since little at the bottom of the tower I do like the old ones
B.A, Skoda, the little ones running it's always the same refrain

We've lived the same problems but our times are different
The bag full of machakil you make your parents cry
Posed since little at the bottom of the tower I do like the old ones
B.A, Skoda, the little ones running it's always the same refrain
Oh-oh, oh-oh, it's always the same refrain
