[Couplet 1 - Corneille]
Est-ce que tu fais le buzz
T'es où dans les charts ?
Es-tu disque d'or ?
T'as combien de friends et de followers ?
Est-ce que tu chantes encore ?
Je tente le recours
Du doux raccourci
Il faut ce qu'il faut (Il faut ce qu'il faut)
Tant qu'il est chaud je bats le fer
Mais j'y laisse ma peau
Je ne suis plus d'accord?
Je ne suis plus d'accord?
[Refrain - Corneille]
Les derniers seront les premiers
Les premiers seront dépassés
Parce que l'Histoire, tiendra la main du destin
Moi je bats mes propres sentiers
À genoux ou à pied
Oui à genoux ou à pied
Pour avoir les mots qu'on chantera demain
Moi je bats mes propres sentiers
Sans raccourci (x4)
Je vis ma vie
Comme je l'écris
Sans raccourci (x2)
[Pont 1 - Kery James]
Parfois le chemin le plus long
Est le chemin le plus sûr
[Couplet 2 - Corneille]
Hier hélas
Est déjà trop loin
Vois comme on se lasse
Qu'est ce qu'on se lasse
Mais le passé
Nous rattrape toujours
Quoiqu'on en fasse
L'intégrité est-ce un luxe des hommes qui n'ont que leur nom ?
La vraie vie me prendra bien des choses
Sauf mon bonheur et ma chanson
[Refrain - Corneille]
[Couplet 3 - Kery James]
Tu ne fais que monter l'ascension
Plus la chute est inévitable
Plus le chemin est long
Plus le succès est durable
Les étoiles sont filantes
S'envolent vers l'oubli
Se pressent vers une mort lente
À force de raccourcis
À force de stratagème
À force de tricherie
Viennent les trancher à eux-mêmes
Là j'sais encore qui j'suis
Fidèle à mes idées
Comme Corneille persuadé qu'on récolte l'amour en semant de la sincérité
Ne rêve pas ta vie, mais vis tes rêves
Méfie toi des raccourcis, la victoire y est brève
On a tellement attendu, on est plus pressé
Vu qu'on ne s'est pas perdu on finira par trouver
Sans raccourcis (x4)
[Refrain - Corneille]
Pierre Corneille (1606-1684) was a French playwright considered one of the most important figures of the 17th century, alongside Molière and Racine. Born in Rouen, he distinguished himself for his successful plays, characterized by a classical structure, incisive dialogues, and memorable characters. Among his most famous works are *Le Cid*, *Polyeucte* and *Horace*. Corneille was influenced by Greek-Roman classicism and Cartesian philosophy, which influenced his worldview and writing style. His works deal with themes such as love, honor, justice, and faith, with a particular focus on the struggle between individual and society. Corneille received numerous accolades during his lifetime, including election to the Académie Française in 1673. His influence on French theatre has been profound and lasting.
