Recyclé - Hocus Pocus, Fred Wesley, Stro the 89th Key

L'évolution, finalement on l’a différée

Car le serpent s’est mordu la queue et l’a digéré

Le texte qui suit n’est pas plus

Qu’un constat des abus de déjà vu

Recyclé comme la page que j’gratte, les phrases que j’rappe

Et les occasions de me taire que j’rate

Ton look à la mode d’il y a 20 ans

70's, 80's recyclées à chaque printemps

Recyclé comme tes déchets nucléaires

Mais seulement dans un millier d’millénaires

Ton histoire dont on n’tire aucune

Leçon et tes leçons d’histoire pleines de lacunes

Recyclé comme ces papiers que tu n’as pas

Tu as 7 ans, dont 6 en France mais tu n’es pas chez toi

Car ici hospitalité, humanité, fraternité

Rime avec…

Recyclé !

People, is time to wake up, it’s new millennium, gimmie some brain

move

Recyclé !

You is ugly in 1974 and still ugly in 2004

Recyclé !

We see the same thing over and over again, there’s a new stuff there

Recyclé !

It’s time for the new things, new form, new boom, gimmie some dope

Recyclé comme ce morceau oublié, gravé sur face B

Samplé, devient tube de l'été

Trop souvent fabriqué, formaté

Refrain-couplet, refrain-couplet

Recyclé comme les déchets de la télé-poubelle

La célébrité et ceux prêts à tuer pour elle

Ton déjeuner devant le journal de Pernaut

Tes collègues de Bordeaux, ta collec' de porno

La machine à recycler ne manque pas d’appétit

Et s’occupe des grandes ordures comme les plus petites

Celles aux bras longs est rarement inquiétée

Car ici immunité rime avec…

Recyclé !

I’ve seen this video, Stevie Wonder was doing the same thing in 1964

Recyclé !

I see this rappers when they talk about rich class, go that for,

use to the form

Recyclé !

I know what I’m talkin' about i don’t make around back in the days

and oh

Recyclé !

A bigger bomb, we’re gonna get it, Janet, bro, him, come on !

Recyclé comme ton jeans usé à l'état neuf

La série de 20h20 que regarde ta meuf

Ce mannequin reconverti en actrice

Reconvertie en chanteuse, reconvertie en junkie

Recyclé comme tes clips de Gangsta Rap

Et Johnny en guest star à la Star Ac'

Ta nouvelle chanson française qui roule les «R»

Ton piano à bretelles, ta baguette et ton camembert

Recyclé comme ce qu’il reste des tours jumelles

Les boîtes noires et l’enquête sur ces jours funestes

Ces images qu’on croirait truquées

Car ici réalité rime avec…

Recyclé !

We’re seeing the same thing over and over and over again,

do you the newer

Recyclé !

Pick-up the news when i be telling lies unless we’re seeing it on a

plain new alphascreen

Recyclé !

Sick of this same old thing, same rappers, same singers

Recyclé !

Ladies and gentleman is time for a change, not a change in your

pocket, real change

Recyclé !

Recyclé !

You got a lot to say but say it in a different way

You did it like this, you did it like that

You keep the same old beat, you keep the same old groove

You got to make it new if you want to make me move

Recyclé !

Evolution, finally we postponed it

For the serpent bit its tail and digested it

The text that follows is not more

Only an acknowledgment of the abuse of deja vu

Recycled like the page I scratch, the sentences I rap

And the opportunities to shut up that I miss

Your fashionable look from 20 years ago

70's, 80's recycled every spring

Recycled like your nuclear waste

But only in a thousand millennia

Your story from which we don't draw any

Lesson and your history lessons full of gaps

Recycled like those papers you don't have

You are 7 years old, including 6 in France but you are not at home

Because here hospitality, humanity, fraternity

Rhymes with…

Recycled!

People, is time to wake up, it's new millennium, gimmie some brain

move

Recycled!

You are ugly in 1974 and still ugly in 2004

Recycled!

We see the same thing over and over again, there's a new stuff there

Recycled!

It's time for the new things, new form, new boom, gimmie some dope

Recycled like this forgotten piece, etched on B-side

Sampled, becomes a summer hit

Too often fabricated, formatted

Chorus-verse, chorus-verse

Recycled like Trash TV waste

Fame and those willing to kill for it

Your lunch in front of Pernaut's newspaper

Your colleagues from Bordeaux, your porn collection

The recycling machine does not lack appetite

And takes care of the big garbage like the little ones

Those with long arms are seldom worried

Because here immunity rhymes with…

Recycled!

I've seen this video, Stevie Wonder was doing the same thing in 1964

Recycled!

I see this rappers when they talk about rich class, go that for,

use to the form

Recycled!

I know what I'm talkin' about i don't make around back in the days

and oh

Recycled!

A bigger bomb, we're gonna get it, Janet, bro, him, come on!

Recycled like your used jeans like new

The 8:20 p.m. series that your girl is watching

This model turned actress

Turned into a singer, turned into a junkie

Recycled like your Gangsta Rap music videos

And Johnny guest star at Star Ac'

Your new French song that rolls the "R"

Your braces piano, your baguette and your camembert

Recycled as what's left of the twin towers

Black boxes and the investigation of those dark days

These images that seem to be faked

Because here reality rhymes with...

Recycled!

We're seeing the same thing over and over and over again,

do you the newer

Recycled!

Pick-up the news when i be telling lies unless we're seeing it on a

plain new alphascreen

Recycled!

Sick of this same old thing, same rappers, same singers

Recycled!

Ladies and gentleman is time for a change, not a change in your

pocket, real change

Recycled!

Recycled!

You got a lot to say but say it in a different way

You did it like this, you did it like that

You keep the same old beat, you keep the same old groove

You got to make it new if you want to make me move

Recycled!
