Offishall (x4)
Akhenaton :
Tass's dans les bateaux, sur un pont crado
1000 bouches ? nourrir, sur le m?me g'teau
Tous pr'ts ? mourir, pourvu qu?il accoste
Forc's ? sourire, quartier de Vatos
Mains qui manipulent la d'coupe du matos
Ballottàes entre livres, stylos et bastos
L??galità, ouais, on conna't la chanson
Tu peux noter, on est les champions
Bons pour la le?on, nuls pour l'action
Sauf trique, b'ton, charter, maton
Le son vient des bas fonds, volume : ? fond
Villes sous pression, on approche du plafond
Quelques casses pieds, y kiffent la baston
Y a plus de familles, que d'?nes sous cachetons
De gars sous tension, de casques et plastrons
De gaz et pin pon, de toutes les fa?ons
Refrain :
Un jour au s?nat, on sera offishall
Dans les pubs ? la tàl' on sera offishall
On mendie pas, on pleure pas, on r?le pas
On dort pas, on meurt pas, on construit, on veut 'tre offishall
Sur le mic dans les clubs d'j? offishall
Dans le sport de haut niveau on est offishall
On mendie pas, on pleure pas, on r?le pas
On dort pas, on meurt pas, on construit, on veut 'tre offishall
Shurik'n :
Ils veulent bien de nous, ?a fait exotique
Aller retour, Paris les ?les,
Et ils ont peur de nous, ?a c'est pas logique
Ils font leur shopping c'est nous leurs vigiles, ils disent qu?il y a
Trop de noirs dans leurs bleus, d'arabes dans les clubs, de rap
Dans les subs, et pourtant nous c?qu?on veut c'est plus d'avocats
D?barqu's d'en bas, des si?ges au s?nat et un ?cran plus color? que ?a
Je veux des fr'res en blouses blanches, grands chirurgiens sbartek le scalpel
Chercheurs ou m'decins, des fr'res dans les cocktails pas pour le service
Justice, peu de nous la rendent et trop la subissent
Nous on pense m'tis, eux pensent uniforme
Hors des normes, on glisse, si y a beaucoup trop de portes
Ils veulent bien nos m'dailles, pas nos faces ? Versailles
Pas de parking priv?, pas de place r'serv?e
(Refrain)
Akhenaton :
Ils s'vendent comme des crackers, nous comme des braqueurs
Fond de commerce alimentà par la peur
Coupe de la FIFA, juin 2006
D?bat : y a-t-il trop de noirs dans l'?quipe ?
Est-ce que les fran?ais se reconnaissent dedans ?
La question a disparu d's la premi're victoire ! Dis moi,
N?est ce pas minable ? ?a c'est des hommes ?
Tuent tes illusions, c'est un pays de gnomes
Shurik'n :
Mec, on est souvent accus's, rarement candidats
Eux, n?ont qu?un pas ? faire, l' o? nous on en fait 3
Oubli's mais surm'diatis's, d's qu?on bouge un bras
Ils nous aiment pas, mais le cul de nos soeur, ?a leur d'plait pas
Toujours la m?me image, rap, danse, foot et baskets
Tout dans le clich?, ?a va pas changer en 2007
On parle d'une femme pr'sidente, ?a fait grincer les dents
Alors comprends que pour les noirs faudra repasser dans 100 ans
Mais,
(Refrain x2)
IAM is a French hip hop group from Marseille, formed in 1989. The group consists of Akhenaton (Philippe Fragione), Shurik'n (Geoffroy Mussard), Freeman (Malek Brahimi), Kheops (Eric Mazel), Imhotep (Pascal Perez) and Kephren (Francois Mendy). The acronym IAM has several interpretations, including 'Invasion Arrivee de Mars' ('Invasion from Mars'). Mars is often used as a metaphor for Marseille in IAM's songs. Considered pioneers of French rap, IAM have contributed to defining the sound and culture of hip hop in France. Their lyrics, often political and social, reflect the realities of everyday life in Marseille and the suburbs of France. Among their most representative tracks are 'Je danse le Mia', 'Petit Frère' and 'Le Chant du Désert'. IAM has released several successful albums, including 'L'école du micro d'argent' (1991) and 'Philibert' (1997).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
