Sur les remparts


Refrain (x2 - Shurik?n) :

Tu sais qu?on laisse le shure en fusion
A chaque session on grille les caissons
Depuis 20 ans de jour et de nuit
On tire nos scuds depuis le maquis

Akhenaton :

Si y a haja, on est l', si y a brouille, on d'barque
Au quartier ? C'est pas ?a, ni au bar, ni au stade
Ni en bo'te, ni en bande, ni en bas, pour du shit
Pour une paille, dans le pif ? Pas du tout, pour du kif
On chante pour le fun, quelque soit la saison
Self made men du rap Mars est dans la maison,
A la tàte, aux habits, au prix, au v?hicule
On nous marque comme des boeufs « po'sie du CIQ »
On a beau la jouer « relax », en fila et jean
On a le bonnet d'coupable, abonn? aux coups bas ?
Non, monsieur, d'sol', j'suis pas un Moudjahidin
Mais le mec qui dit ? ton fils c?que tu peux pas y dire
Ils aim?raient me voir couler, puis m?appeler has been, cousin
J'suis malin comme un singe, et rap depuis azzernie
Business, m'dia, tout ?a que du guet apens
Tu sais j?apprends, j?vois leur cirque avec 10 coups d'avance

(Refrain x2)

avec Julie Zenatti :
Toujours perch's sur les remparts
Ne rien l'cher, la plume notre arme
Flow quadrill', rime anti naze
Gar?on tu peux rentrer chez toi

Shurik'n :

Entends ce mic fendre l'air, enfant de Baudelaire
Made in caniveau, sourire carnassier
Tremp? le caract're, art plus que s?culaire
Terreur des magn'tos, d'voreurs de papiers,
A l'heure ou le ... est vide, trop de r'ves s'envolent
L? sur le tapis, trop de bouches ferm?es
A l'heure ou le brillant s'duit, trop de MC s'endorment
Cocktails, Show-Biz, trop de rimes reni?es
... sans billets, on garde nos langues d'li?es
Dans le casier, un d'lit, des propos non dilu's
Les pieds dans les 'triers, musical d'striers
Instinct de survie, alors on ?crit pour ne pas prier
Tout y est, travail, pers?v?rance,
L'encrier plein ? la sueur, l'atmosph're intense
Fier et born?, camouflage aborr?, tapis dans la for't
La feuille en main, le coeur en r'sitance

Refrain (x2 - Shurik?n & Julie Zenatti)

Freeman :

Le d'sert, ces routes et ces ch?mins, ?coute on conna't
La puissance est autre part, o? le mal c'est gomm?
Pour les personnes intàgres, ouais, le ton devient hard
Ici y a rien d'sens?, donc tes pens?es on les brade
La confiance n?a jamais 'tà un point de sauvegarde
La famille, les proches, restent les rep'res, quand l'son barde
Epuis?, gris?, mais le souffle au taquet
Maqu?, masqu?, car la v?rità tarde
Chacun ? la sienne et celle de l'autre est dans la rade
Si tu piges ?a, tà?viteras pas mal d' p'tarade
Le concret, qu?on cr?e donne du souffle ? l'avare
Son pass?, fauss?, avance dans le hasard
Hasa, magne, parce que mon m'tier c'est mon bagne
Form? ? la vatos locos, cogno ? la gagne
A fond dans l'son, rh?, mes lettres c'est les armes
Pour capter c?que j'dis, faut lire en filigrane

Refrain (x2 - Shurik?n & Julie Zenatti)

Biografia

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).
