C'est pour tous nos sols rouges
Et nos tempêtes de sable
A tous ceux qui connaissent
Le goût du goudron
Aux guerriers moudjahidin
Comme aux mutins d'Abidjan
A nos musiques de Brazza
Comme aux ambiances de Kin
Nos futurs se dessinent
Le monde est à nous
Leurs forces déciment
Et d'ici une décennie
Ils s'excuseront sur leurs colonies
Décidément et dorénavant
Je n'ai pas choisi
Choisi d'être là
Ils m'ont largué
Comme un oiseau
Qui ne peux plus rentrer chez lui
Mais moi je suis l'accusé
Dont l'histoire est un combat
Nègre marron comme Kunta
De ceux qui n'acceptent pas
Je suis le mec grisé
Qui a poussé près de chez toi
Coupable ou mort né
Je suis un ennemi d'état
Je suis l'accusé qui se lève
Et offense le magistrat
De ceux qu'on a fouetté
Et de ceux qui n'oublient pas
Je suis l'accusé
Et seul Dieu me jugera
Comme on choisi pas sa famille
J'ai pas choisi d'être là
Je n'ai pas choisi
Choisi d'être là
Ils m'ont largué
Comme un oiseau
Qui ne peux plus rentrer chez lui
Acte un : tu sais d'où tu viens
Acte deux : tu sais qui t'en veux
Acte trois : tu connais tes droits
La liberté, c'est parler agir
Sans se faire emmerder
D'un côté des merguez
De l'autre des chipolatas
Si tous les hommes naissent égaux
Négro n'est pas dans les quotas
Comment courir et se sauver
Avec un jarret coupé
Cette terre et nos vers planent
Ici les chaînes nous brisons
Comme E.T. je veux être libre
Mais aussi rentrer maison
Je n'ai pas choisi
Choisi d'être là
Ils m'ont largué
Comme un oiseau
Qui ne peux plus rentrer chez lui
Nzimbo yayi ke samu na batu
Nionso ke na buala
Samu na batu nionso na kati
Ya continent ya betu
Na batu nionso inki na zolaka ku changer
Na batu nionso inki na zolaka ku décoller
Nzimbu yayi ke samu na liberté
Ya betu nionso tu benu me wa
Je n'ai pas choisi
Choisi d'être là
Ils m'ont largué
Comme un oiseau
Qui ne peux plus rentrer chez lui
