Lyrics La tension monte Iam

La tension monte


Blanc, black, attaque du tac au tac, estomache les jacks

Elégiaques, les plaque, les traque, les claque

Et les macque, sort l'acier et les braque

Impact, généré par le rimeur maniaque

Eduqué, mentalement, logiquement, normalement

En cogitant sur les moments d'énervement, parallèlement

Des illettrés essaient de s'opposer

A moi le A président de l'assemblée de l'alphabet

En plein effet, laissez moi vous rappeler

En 1987 dans un nouveau style on rappait

Sur des rythmes et des mélodies faites d'échantillons

Vous breakiez encore sur des cartons

Mais ça ne vous a pas dérangé de voir la rumeur comme une farce

Tout ça parce qu'on venait de la planète Mars

On a doublé d'efforts, quelques mois à coup de cola

"Concept" est dehors, IAM a mis le holà

Funky, Fresh, versificateur de qualité

La preuve en est, beaucoup nous ont copié

Mais je demeure le Suprême Sombre Seigneur

Sempiternel serviteur, solonnel supérieur, Solaire créateur

De concert, avec mes frères, unis dans la peur

Dans le bonheur, dans le malheur, comme la tige et la fleur

Pourquoi désirez-vous un combat avec IAM

Vous n'en sortirez pas indemne: La tension monte d'un pas

Chargé, turbo devant le micro

Les mains dans le dos, orné d'un chrono

Sur le tempo

1-2-3 c'est parti pour le Def-show

Chauffez la salle, je ferais le reste au micro

C'est mon job, mon boulot, et j'entends le faire comme un pro

Partout où je le pourrais, je mettrai le niveau toujours au plus haut

Licencié, qualifié, entraîné, fortement inspiré

La première sentinelle n'est pas de ceux que l'on peut aisément stopper

Rappeur fanatique, ces mots sont magiques

Embrase les foules et déclenche dans leurs têtes un déclic

Prise de conscience instantanée c'est automatique

Tel un 45 tirant des "dum-dum" linguistiques

L'empereur taoïste, mystico-philosophique

Transforme son art en une puissante doctrine

Puis tente de l'inculquer à ceux qui se sentent blasés

Mais qui pourtant ne sont capables que de dupliquer

Les refoulés sont back au max, pas de new jack

Dans la place, car il débarque de Mars

Reléguant les précédents au rang de farce du néant

Laissant dans leur tête un trou béant

Relevant la barre d'au moins dix bons mètres

Qui dans très peu de temps deviendront des parsecs

Impossible de suivre, on ne peut que rester en bas

Quand la tension monte d'un pas

La tension monte, pour ceux qui escomptent

Me rompre, fait savoir aux idiots qui m'affrontent

Que le boss est de retour et rosse

Cabosse, à coups de crosse et les cuit comme une sauce

Distille un style, hostile et versatile

Facile et subtil, la résistance est inutile

Futile, car mon premier réflexe

Est de faire naître un texte, dans les zones de mon cortex

Promesse que leur défaite reste

Et les vexe car elle est Live sur une mémorex

Prouve, ouvre les yeux mielleux

A ceux qui me sous-estiment, ah malheureux

Equivaloir Akhénaton au microphone

Correspond à prendre des coups sur le linguaphone

Je te conseille pour ton anniversaire

Si tu écoutes IAM, achète-toi un dictionnaire

Impérial excelle et vient de Marseille

Ville du soleil qui n'a pas son pareil

C.H.I.L.L. P.H.I.L.

Expédie par express ses ennemis au ciel

Passe la Heineken et je l'envoie danser à Rio

Pour le carnaval dans un nouveau scénario

Classé X mais pas le X du sexe

Mais le X, 24ème lettre de l'intellect

De l'anonymat, des origines comme les X-men

Et définit tout comme le X de X-clan

Non pas de vague à l'âme parce que le rap est en plein boom

J'en suis le journaliste et mon stylographe est le zoom

Pour ceux qui nous appellent métèques

Je leur pique les bagues et les vends, garde les cartes et les chèques

Voilà pourquoi on ne me stoppe pas

Je taxe les suckers MC, la tension monte d'un pas

Un micro branché, une scène élevée et bien éclairée

La foule entassée en un amas de corps enchevêtrés

C'est le moment pour l'I.M.P.E.R.A.T.O.R.

De mener le show comme un char d'assault dans un train d'enfer

L'O.V.E.R. Lord lâche à présent sa horde

Qui se jette sur toi comme certains l'on fait sur l'or

Tu crois pouvoir l'éviter mais cela s'avère être inexorable

Tu voudrais alors te cacher à l'abri des raisons qui ne sont pas valables

Mais ah! je me gausse vraiment, y'a de quoi rigoler

Débiter des paroles inutiles sans aucune portée

Ne fait de toi en aucun cas un rappeur confirmé

Et quoi que tu dises ou quoi que tu fasses ça ne sera pas facile

On ne lutte pas contre un quatrain embrassé et subtil

Pas plus que devant la flotte impériale arrivant de Mars

Asservissant les ondes hertziennes et proclame IAM

Empereur du hiphop monarque sans pareil

Shurik'n et A.K.H.E.N.A.T.O.N.

Te donnent un conseil et t'aident à régler tes problèmes

De compréhension c'est pour cela qu'à certains, Chill

A suggérer d'écouter ce disque avec un Larousse illustré

Rends-toi à l'évidence, tu devrais peut-être tourner la page

Et essayer un peu d'arrêter de chevaucher les nuages

Le niveau est trop haut pour toi, n'essaie pas car on ne survit pas

Quand la tension monte d'un pas

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
