Odyssée D'Une Incomprise

Keny Arkana Keny Arkana

Odyssey of a Misunderstood

A little unstable
Too bad if you judge me wrongly
All a little frustrated
Not worse and not better than someone else
You know I spit out my discomfort
In truth, it healed me
Putting words on my storms
To not let the shadow bark
I never forgot
Everything that made me who I am
I left with a mic in hand
Saying whoever loves me, follow me
Embracing my guts
My past, my ideals that
For hearts limited in their cynicism
Are just utopia
But what is life
For the one who claims to know
A toxic cage for the living
Like a pilgrim, I follow my path
I swore to never be fooled
Blast in the feet, I was so afraid of betraying myself, when I saw glory coming
Notoriety, you won't have me
Beautiful illusion, you wanted my freedom
But it's stronger than you
I had a hard time accepting you
I never get used to it, okay destiny and then bro, return of the ugly duckling
It pleases my past
And then my mom
I told her don't worry mom, I'll make it, you have my word
From those dark nights, scared after the cop calls
Your daughter ran away again, we don't know to which city
Tears flowed under the bridges mom, as I slept there I almost drowned
Get up because they take us for fools
Letting ourselves die is giving them reason
It's out of pride that I said no
I survived, a piece of paper as a confidant
Rap music
For 15 years your melodies have given me the words to free myself from my frustrations
Tool of my own evolution
I died to be reborn
Because we can't build without demolition
Landed in a world where the rules have been rigged for centuries
In a fresco that from the start deceived and educated us in having
School didn't give me my answers
Didn't listen to my questions and made me lose my mind
I wanted to learn to be
But I learned to take the hits
In the depths of shit, I learned what it was to stick together
Hey cousin, listen, I left school at the age of 12
What I have, what I know
I went to find it alone against all odds
In search of truth and a revenge that doesn't flow
I wanted to understand Babylon
As if to know who's guilty
And I understood
That here no one is innocent
Indifference has hands soaked in blood
They got us
There's so much less compassion
Heads shaped like piggy banks and everywhere you'll see their emblem
A little room to unleash passions
And resignation, elimination of our intertwined bonds in a thousand and one ways
The story of a civilization
Plunged into terror
Building its skyscraper with a bomb inside
I won't be an accomplice
Every hope that dies is a victory
That we can
Arrive and finally all
It's the odyssey of a misunderstood
Thank you for understanding my scream
Who would have thought of leaving my crew with fear in my gut
Honest because my rage was raw
It was the voice
Of an urgency my brothers didn't see
Injustices engraved in me that the wind didn't sweep away
Hey, hands off
Rap, a bag of crack in the drawer
But where are we going if everyone throws their little tantrums like little kings
Playing the stars
And then betraying themselves for money
Don't act like a real brother, we caught you, for us you're just a clown
You get it, a simple puppet of the biz
An imposture, a breeze that stinks of pride
And you're as fake as your posture
You want to be American
And also want to kill and crush the third world with bombs
Hey gringo, you're not one of us
Building another world, we can't see it any other way
Nostalgic of another time, their temples resting on our temple
Here comes the time of false prophets, financial crises
At a time when the crisis is human, hearts lacking affection, love, and tenderness
The rest is just a drift or a substitute for problems
We are made to love
Go on, tell it to others
Descendants of the stars and not monkeys
Even less dinosaurs
If I speak out of turn, it's bad
It's because the earth is my home
All the hard hits that keep coming
Understand or unplug me
The Atlantis of the 21st century
Is the end approaching?
Apocalyptic era, I walk supported by angels
Without a homeland, plus they want us to stay seated
A century born kings of the border, for them you lose your life
I raise my rhyme to those who remain themselves
In a world that sings fear with a fanfare of hate
Behind the times are serious
Don't trivialize the words
They have an unsuspected power
And a creative reach
Everything comes from the word and only it can undo if handled with love
Look, it's sacred
Came to burst your bubble
Frigid West, where you can still hide your face
Kingdom of advertising and screens
The whole world reduced to slavery
Humanity at the end of times
Millennia of bloodshed in the baggage
Just take a moment, frigid West
To hear the cries in your staccatos
