Comment on faisait ? - Hocus Pocus

J’me demande souvent…

Mais comment… Comment on faisait avant?

Avant tous ces petits détails qui font notre quotidien

Toutes ces choses qui, aujourd’hui, nous paraissent si naturelles

Mais comment on faisait avant?

Avant l’informatique, les portables, le SIDA…

J’me demande…

Mais comment on faisait avant, sans télécommande?

Il paraît qu’on s’déplaçait pour zapper, ça c’est étonnant !

Maintenant: 250 chaînes et la parabole

Avant: 250 pages et même pas ras-le-bol

La littérature, et dire qu’un jour ça a été fun

Mais j’troquerais pas tout Zola contre ma Playstation

(Hey Hey!) Ma nostalgie a des limites

Et la technologie efface même un passé indélébile (Right !)

Mais comment on faisait avant à l'époque d’Eve et Adam

Sans le béton et l’air nauséabond

Sans les gaz d'échappement qui font monter l’mercure

Dur de supporter l’air pur

Mais comment on faisait avant?

Mais comment on faisait sans?

(I don’t know)

Mais comment on faisait?

Mais comment on faisait avant (Comment? Comment ?)

Sans l' net et mon phone pour liquider mon solde et kiffer l’insomnie?

Des destins scellés illico-presto, un clic, un texto, ciao !

Mais comment on faisait avant, sans la chirurgie?

Il paraît qu’quand t’avais une sale gueule, c'était pour la vie

Mais comment on faisait, hein, avant qu’la science progresse?

Des rumeurs disent qu'à l'époque, les gens mourraient d’vieillesse?

Nan… Maintenant, les virus ont tout infesté

Avant, il paraît qu’on s’aimait sans peur des MST

Qu’on kiffait sans Despe' et qu’on riait sans shit

Seulement maintenant on redescend vite

Mais comment on faisait avant?

Mais comment on faisait sans?

Maintenant, les mec regardent la beauté intérieure

C’est ça, un tas de faux culs qui kiffent sur les faux seins

Faut pas s’voiler la face, le naturel c’est loin

Et si t’as pas le style à la mode, t’es rien

Mais comment on faisait avant les clips pour avoir le style?

Avant le style pour porter les sapes de 80 en l’an 2000?

Avant l’an 2000, pour rire du futur d’antan

Combinaisons argentées et véhicules volants

Hier, on s’disait: Demain sera un jour meilleur

Demain, on s’dira: Hier, on faisait une p’tite erreur

Comment comment comment on faisait avant?

C’est vrai

Et au fait, comment on fera après?

Mais comment on faisait avant?

Mais comment on faisait sans?

HP, ouais, yeah, comment, comment

Comment, comment !

Co-comment, comment !

Yeah

I often wonder...

But how... How did we do it before?

Before all those little details that make up our daily lives

All those things that today seem so natural to us

But how did we do it before?

Before computers, cell phones, AIDS...

I wonder...

But how did we do it before, without a remote control?

It seems that we moved to zap, that's amazing!

Now: 250 channels and the dish

Before: 250 pages and not even fed up

Literature, and saying that one day it was fun

But I wouldn't trade all Zola for my Playstation

(Hey Hey!) My nostalgia has limits

And technology even erases an indelible past (Right!)

But how we did before in the days of Eve and Adam

Without the concrete and the foul air

Without the exhaust fumes that raise the mercury

Hard to bear clean air

But how did we do it before?

But how did we do without?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do before?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it before?

But how did we do without?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do before?

(I don't know)

But how we used to do (How? How?)

Without the net and my phone to liquidate my balance and enjoy insomnia?

Destinies sealed illico-presto, a click, a text message, ciao!

But how did we do it before, without the surgery?

It seems that when you had a dirty face, it was for life

But how did we do it, huh, before science progressed?

Rumors say that at the time, people were dying of old age?

Nah… Now the viruses have infested everything

Before, it seems that we loved each other without fear of STDs

That we loved without Despe' and that we laughed without hash

Only now we're coming down fast

But how did we do it before?

But how did we do without?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do before?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it before?

But how did we do without?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do before?

(I don't know)

Now niggas lookin' at the beauty inside

That's it, a bunch of fake asses that love fake tits

Do not hide your face, the natural is far

And if you don't have the fashionable style, you're nothing

But how did we do before the music videos to have the style?

Before the style to wear the clothes of 80 in the year 2000?

Before the year 2000, to laugh at the future of yesteryear

Silver jumpsuits and flying vehicles

Yesterday, we said to ourselves: Tomorrow will be a better day

Tomorrow, we'll say: Yesterday, we made a little mistake

How how how did we do before?

It's true

And by the way, what are we going to do next?

But how did we do it before?

But how did we do without?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do before?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it before?

But how did we do without?

(I don't know)

But how did we do it?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do?

How did we do before?

(I don't know)

But how did we do Greem?

(I don't know)

How did we do?

(I don't know)

How, how, how, how (I don't know)

HP, yeah, yeah, how, how

How, how!

Co-how, how!

How, how!

Co-how, how!

yeah
