Lettre aux hirondelles


Marseille, le 19 janvier 1994
Salut Chill,
Je t'écris cette lettre pour te memercier d'avoir raconté notre histoire dans "L'Aimant", tu sais, ça fait plaisir de voir que les amis n'ont pas oublié. Ici tout va bien, et j'ai eu énormément de temps pour réfléchir
A la raison pour laquelle mes mains sont sur des barreaux
Ma fenêtre est un carreau, mauvaise carte au tarot
Pourquoi ce sont les gosses qui jadis jouaient
Avec moi, à leur majorité ont tenté de m'éliminer
Serait-ce un autre tour de l'Aimant?
Où bien l'envie et l'argent, en sout les uniques éléments, Chill
Raconte-moi comment vont les autres dehors
Ont-ils changé le plomb en or ou en mort?
Leur problème? Vivre à 18 ans
Arriver les poches pleines d'orgueil, mais sans un franc dedans
Impressioner ces filles avec une Golf ou un VR
Qui veulent se faire niquer, que par 1,2,3,4,5,R
Le quartier perd son âme, il troque avec la drogue
Les mômes n'ont que 16 ans et imposent la terreur dans les blocs
Pourtant les choses changent, des autres méthodes
Etre un âne à l'école n'est plus à la mode
Par contre plus qu'avant, être une racaille, une canaille
Sans lame frottée à l'ail, mais 9 mm grenaille
Y-a-t-il trop de corbeaux dans les cages d'escalier?
Y-a-t-il trop d'hirondelles ici qui vont pointer?Ils deviennent ce qu'ils voient
Ils voient ce qu'ils deviennent, cette spirale de l'échec me peine
Tant bien que qui ne les connaît pas les voit voler trop haut
Les tire comme des oiseaux

{Refrain:}
Y a trop d'hirondelles ou trop de corbeaux
Y a trop d'hirondelles ou trop de corbeaux
Y a trop d'hirondelles ou trop de corbeaux
Y a trop d'hirondelles ou trop de corbeaux

Sur les murs, j'en ai marre de la tête à Toto, je fume un peu de popo
Pense à la liberté chaque fois que passe le yo-yo
Ecoute ça hier midi, il est rentré
Ce genre de gamins qui jouent les gros caïds au CJD, mais
De peur qu'on ne les bute
Le soir dans leur cellule, ils pleuraient comme des putes
J'éspère que ça leur passera l'envie de péter pour
Faire croire à leurs amis que la prison c'est cool, et
Ils sont de bien mauvais exemples pour les enfants
Des corbeaux tristes dehors, dedans
Où est leur place? En tous les cas pas parmi nous
Ils écoutent ta musique, ils boîtent et jouent les fous
A côté de ça, j'ai rencontré un autre jeune
Que je connaissais déjà, pour être un gars
Sérieux, sportif et bourré d'aptitudes
Il a changé d'attitude et vendu du shit pour payer ses études, Chill
On vit dans un pays d'hypocrites et plein d'enflés
D'entrée: liberté, égalité, si t'as du blé
Aujourd'hui encore une autre hirondelle est en cage
Personne ne s'en inquiète, ils tournent tous la page
La dérive est énorme sur le coup
Chacun voit son nombril et tout le monde s'en fout
Comme une porte sur le ciel, j'ouvre un livre
Mon Dieu, j'aurais aimé vivre libre

{au Refrain}

Tu sais, je ne suis pas un exemple non plus, juste une statistique, mais au moins j'y ai réfléchi: 4 ans à l'âge de 17 ans pour un putain de bar-tabac.
Enfin, j'ai 37 ans aujourd'hui et j'ai passé 14 ans aux Baumettes enfermé comme un chien. Au fait, demain, si tu as le temps, passe embrasser ma fille pour moi, s'il te plaît, dis-lui que je l'aime.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
