ON VA T'CROISER

Allez, un de ces quat' mon pote,
Tu viendras peut-être demander de l'aide dans les yeux...

L'autre jour je t'ai vu à la télé
Tu voulais qu'on t'aide et ouais
Jamais été dans tes projets
Jamais eu le profil recherché
Peut-être que j'aurai pu et ouais
Mais d'la musique et du reggae
Mawaar c'est tout ce que je ferai (x2)

Ton univers se fait la malle
C'est Babylone qui est down, down, down
Nous on a donné
Mais Mister Profit vient mendier
De Canberra à Bab-el-Oued
Mister Gavé demande de l'aide
Comme on dit t'as du toupet
De loin du haut de ta télé

Nous aussi on a notre télé
C'est quand que tu viens la regarder
Pour l'instant j't'ai jamais vu
C'est marrant mais t'es jamais v'nu
Demander ton aide dans la rue
Peut-être qu'on aimerait bien te croiser
Mais je crois que t'en n'es pas capable
Toi tu t'crois libre aux mains du diable

As-tu vu les gens que t'as usés
Les familles que t'as fait pleurer
Ton appui ils te l'ont demandé
Ah ouais t'as appuyé
Trop aplati trop écrasé
Mais peut-être qu'ils aimeraient bien te croiser
Avant de te donner leur vie
Pour élever ton royaume pourri

Ton royaume on va l'élever
T'inquiète pas on va trimer
Mais un jour quelqu'un viendra t'voir
Il faudra lui raconter
Lui raconter ton histoire
Ouais mais la même que dans ta télé
Et là tu sais ça sera à lui de voir
Si il a envie de t'aider

On va t'croiser, on va t'croiser

Tu pensais prendre ma mémoire
Tu croyais que j'allais tout oublier
Moi j'vois que t'as pas fini l'histoire
T'as oublié de nous conter

WE'RE GONNA MEET YOU

Don't you know one of these days
You're gonna be begging for help face to face.

One day I've been watching you on TV
You would like us to help you
I've never been part of your plan
Never had the required profil
Maybe I could have
But music and reggae
Mawaar that's all I will do

Your world is driving in a mess
Babylon is down down down
Still we already gave
Mister Greedy comes begging
From Canberra to Bab-el-Oued
Mister Bellyfat asks for help
I and I say you've got a nerve
from the top of your TV

We too have got our own TV
When do you come to watch it?
I haven't seen you yet ever
That's funny but you'd never come
Asking for help in the street
Maybe we'd like to meet you
But I don't think you're able to
You feel free by devil's hand.

Have you seen people you utilized
Families you've made cry
They've been asking for your support
Then you have been flattening,
crushing, pounding,
Perhaps they'd like to meet you
Before giving you their lives
In order to rise your sick kingdom.

Your kingdom we gonna rise,
Don't worry we're gonna slave,
But someday someone will come to you,
You'll have to tell him your story,
The same you told on TV,
And you know it's gonna be up to him
To help you or not.

We're gonna meet you, we're gonna meet you

You though you could take my memory,
That I would forget it all,
I think you didn't end the story,
You forgot our lives matter.
