Post Scriptum

I wanted everything to be clear
Before the lid closes
One last time, disturb the oligarchy, the ministries
Spit out the bitter truth, from the working class
Letting off steam... Through a few verses
Changing things, that was the goal
That's what I believed
I came, I saw, I did what I could
I swear to you
I even talked about myself
Me, who usually prefers to stay silent
Silent like a thug in front of the cop
I tried to be fair, no matter if they believe me
I faced insults, and my eyes sometimes
Whatever the price to pay, I'll pay
I'd rather die standing than live on my knees, it's true
I had to swallow my pride, tempted by old demons
Pretending to smile to fit in
I even put aside the shame, took it on often
To put words to my disgust, my torments
Baring it all talking about myself, they had to know a bit
What's behind the mask
My dark side
A wise side that doesn't seem like a fragile masquerade
Because, like Anakin, I have a quick temper
I'm worse than they imagine
Sometimes violence fascinates me
Bipolar, my profile, my past, makes my present clay
I hoped to make music a means to free us
That my struggle be something other than a foreseen defeat
Anti-injustice, I tried to resist
I tried to sow peace
I only harvested lawsuits
Gave everything I could: sweat, blood, and tears
I left behind years, friends, isolated, disarmed
For what in the end?
Wealth? Glory? Not even
Sometimes it's hard at home the last thirty days of the month
I did everything not to give up
The weak have this ease to criticize what the strong do
Fail or succeed, but at least try your luck
I say the greater the fight, the greater the victory
I take risks, but who will if I back down?
I only feel alive if I'm useful to my peers
I don't care if they laugh, I write, I resist
Even without profit, without benefit, I'll be a volunteer lyricist
For me to give in, I'd have to die
Stab me in the back, if you find room
Under a tarp are my chances of being followed, that's for sure
As long as there's less common sense and courage
Than idiots and cowards
And since nothing awaits us except the cemetery
I write each of my rhymes as the last
And if they think I hit without reason
History will tell
To carefully observe their vision: to be free is to choose your own chains
Let one lead and the others will follow
Let one lead, and the others will kill him
I was told: 'Unity is strength'
But who will create unity?
In this country where the sheep count in the millions
Where morals and reason have deserted the place
Where the rich get richer, and the poor more numerous
I can't take anything, I leave it all to you
Don't worry: one day, the roulette wheel spins
Let them rest assured: I'm not done fighting
I wasn't a rapper, but a rebel who raps
I tried to be brave, I hope I didn't lose myself too many times
Sorry if I disappoint, but sometimes, I had to make choices
Bad or good, that: no comment
Indifferent, I know too much to be indifferent
There was one before me
There was one before him
After me, who will come?
After me, it's not over
I hope so, because given the IQ of these pseudo-leaders
I feel like Columbine every half hour
Tell them, abandonment and I are two different things
If the future is blurry, it's because we're at a dead end
Of course, I don't smile I growl, don't pet me I bite
If others are awake, it's because I'm asleep
It might be the last time you hear me
Might as well be honest
I'm not one to follow, I prefer to take the lead
Keep your distance, I'll keep my cool
Lower your tone, and I'll lower my weapon
I believe everything is said, or almost
I let silence do the rest
P.S.: among the poor, bury me without roses
Hoping it rains, that at least someone cries

As always the weakest are preyed upon
Nothing surprises me
Resigned, the others close their eyes, are blind
Why do we have to wait until we sleep to dream?
With closed doors, I move forward with a G clef

Always the weakest are preyed upon
