Par le biais de mes pensées, je me transpose 7 ans en arrière
Quand la musique n'était qu'un passe-temps, un mystérieux univers
Pour moi rapper était un jeu, jusqu'à ce que je découvre que la passion
Du groove investissait mon être peu à peu
Envoûté par le rythme, j'analysait la technique des maîtres en la matière
KRS, Stetsasonic
M'identifiant à cet Art, de toutes parts
Mes premières rimes je les ai griffonnées au lycée dans les couloirs
Quand certains jaloux ne pensaient qu'à critiquer
Avec O.T et Ball 2 Match, nous passions nos temps-libres à rimer
Chercher un style, trouver l'originalité, l'effort ne nous effrayait point
Nous étions tous prêts à en suer
Dakar s'en souvient encore, le Trouble Mc faisait partie intégrante
Du décor
Or nos routes vinrent alors à se séparer, mais jamais je dis bien jamais
Le Hip-Hop ne cessa de nous habiter
Pour le Hip-Hop, j'ai donné mon coeur, mon âme
Pour que jamais ne s'éteigne la flamme
Et ce malgré les obstacles à surmonter
Nous n'avons jamais cessé, jamais cessé d'y croire
A tous les médisants qui disaient jadis "C'est déjà tout vu!"
Le Hip-Hop est une mode et d'ici quelques années on n'entendra
Plus parler
De ces portés disparus, sont déçus
Mémorise le contenu, tourne la page et continue
Voyage sur l'internet et tu verras bien que le Rap continue à envahir
La planète
De Montréal à Paris en passant par Dakar car nous n'avons jamais,
Jamais cessé d'y croire
Notre concept est triangulaire, il réunit les Frères et Soeurs sans
Heurt, peu importe la couleur
À travers une même philosophie, un mode de vie communément appelé
Le Hip-Hop aujoud'hui
Omniprésent sur les murs vétustes de la ville, le Mouvement fertile s'y
Emploie à mettre de la fraîcheur
Via les Dj, les Grapheurs et les Rappeurs, Porte étendard, promoteurs
De cet Art
Puis ce qui devait arriver se produisit par la suite
Le Rap autrefois dénigré s'inséra parmi les listes des radiodiffuseurs
Le Mouvement prit de l'ampleur, les adeptes des "variet." aujourd'hui
Sont déroutés et pleurent
Comme tous les opportunistes qui voulurent profiter de l'occasion
En oubliant
Que si c'est sans racines qu'au sommet tu te hisses fils!
Des Mc établis tu ne pourras subir que les sévices
Risque à courir quand on se fout de l'avenir d'un Mouvement qui grandit
Mais qui peut encore redouter le pire
Si EAST était toujours des nôtres il serait venu te le dire en personne
"Écoute ton coeur, sois en accord avec ta personne!"
Somme toute, je te conseille d'écouter l'avis de vieux de la vieille qui plus
D'un mic ont déchiré
Dédicaces à Montréal, Paris et Dakar qui sur la mélodie n'ont jamais cessé
D'y croire
