Mon frère, dis-leur, on est pas à L.A.
Juste empereur ce n'est pas une finalité
Pour braquer et frapper, traquer
Ensuite maquer, les soeurs sur les trottoirs, un peu de respect
Doit être enseigné afin de noyer
Les erreurs de toutes les générations passées
Assez de stupidité perpétrée
Chassez la cupidité de vos idées
Croyez en l'unité!
Exemple : le rap a vu le jour il y a peu de temps
Et tel un lionceau il montre déjà les dents
On parlait soi-disant d'une nation
Non, on ne voit que division
On excite les médias par notre vision du crime
Faut-il tuer pour une page dans un magazine?
Ou que la jalousie nous pousse à désirer
Ce qu'un autre a pu posséder
Obsédés, obnubilés par les faits d'apparence et du faux
Cette course avide est peuplée d'idiots
Qui mènent amis et possee, père, mère et frère
Et la communauté entière à sa perte
Alors, quoi? La solution est là
Juste à portée de main, oui je vois mais pourquoi?
Il faut réaliser que ceci est un essai, un cliché
Du mouvement R.A.P.
En toute vérité, sans unité
Pour la possession d'une rue, d'un quartier
Tant de coups furent reçus, et ont été donnés
N'avez-vous rien d'autre à faire que de vous bagarrer?
Voulez-vous que vos frères suivent le même tracé?
Unis comme de la pierre, tels des molécules de fer
Enracinés dans la terre comme baobab millénaire
C'est là la seule façon de les faire taire
Beaucoup mieux que les actes perpétrés naguère
Il vaut mieux être un sage qu'un bon militaire
Nombre d'entre eux ont fini sous terre
Et en partant n'ont laissé derrière
Qu'un nom banalement gravé sur de la pierre
Elevez-vous mentalement et physiquement
Mettez la culture et le savoir toujours en avant
Marchez vers la lumière inexorablement
Ils succomberont inévitablement face à notre Unité
Soyons unis, fondus dans le même rayonnement
De conscience et de raisonnements, universellement
Encore plus forts suivi de milliers de consorts
Qui adorent ou acceptent le concept et les préceptes que j'abhorre
De plus en plus hardcore, au vu des préliminaires
A l'union résolu comme un militaire
Division amène régression, confusion de masse
Unification, l'évolution, organisation de chasse
Au drame de la flamme que je blâme, condamne les ânes
Xénophobes et la MOB fait son job et dérobe les snobs
Attaque une fois de plus exact, en pack compact
Contacte la force de mes frères en pro blacks
Trop facile pour les gens à première vue
Le fléau est perçu chez le mec de la rue
Pour accéder à la crédibilité
Que les cités soient versées dans la positivité de notre Unité
