C'est Pas Normal

It's not normal that we don't know,
It's not normal, Jaïd, you know, listen to this
It's not normal like so many things on this planet,
but what is normal?
Where can I still find hope for the kids
Without the fairness of justice, never in this life
Just a word for those whose lives
Will never serve as an example in the purest sense of the word
Too many deaths still for such a small world behind bars
Who cares down there? They must be saying up high
They don't care who benefits, and I bet big
On the stakes that overwhelm us once again
The trick that will put me to sleep once more
Families cry, and the tears only serve to cry more
It's not normal that I'm here talking again, there are too many dead
What can I do? If condoms aren't free
Tell me there's no budget for that, with the leaks that are happening
Of course, they'll tell you, there's no cash for research, so we
Just deal with what we have, and screw it all
At home, they laugh at Africa, at gay people, at hemophiliacs as guinea pigs
And they talk about scams in front of the Thai maids
Me, a young paranoid hip-hop kid that no one listens to
I say it's not normal that we don't know

Chorus
It's not normal that we don't know, that every time we
Want to know, it's like this, we hit a wall of doubt
But they don't care about me, about what I know, about what I believe, I believe
I don't disturb, contrary to what they think
Against them, I don't stand a chance

So I resign myself, and believe me, I don't like it
I designate myself to take care of nothing, I tell myself not to look
For the truth where it isn't, the how and the why
So many deaths again for every new why?
We don't die just from that, but this thing is too dirty
Like it escaped from a lab in the study stage, a scandal
The fruit of research in white coats wanting to scare themselves
Playing with tubes for recognition and honor
Having the virus of science means we never know which way we're going
Underneath this facade, kid, don't be fooled
We lie to the HIV-positive, telling them not to cry
Treatments are expensive, they should just pay for them
They should fund it if it's really a priority
There's no money in the good funds, only leftovers
It's really not a choice for the poor, those who remain
I think we only know what they want us to know
I think I need more to see better
Me, a young paranoid hip-hop kid that no one listens to
I say it's not normal that we don't know.
