Briller dans le noir - La Canaille, Sir Jean

We’ve been programmed inna dem schools to be used as tools

Slaved by their system

But they will never prevent us from shining in da dark

T’sais quoi?

Hors de question de raser les murs, j’veux les briser

Chez moi l’ambiance est bien trop morne je suis venu l'électriser

Habité d’une soif de vivre que personne ne monnaye

Y a dans mon camp des pépites d’or à faire pâlir le Soleil

A trop courber l'échine, la coupe est pleine de rage

Et le schéma se reproduit quand nos mouflets prennent de l'âge

Alors comprends qu’ici la soif de revanche est maladive

Parce que j’viens d’un monde où y a pas d’autre alternative

Dem seh noting good will never come from us

From we born inna da ghetto

Dem seh we dangerous

Never wanna tek we serious

It a mek dem hilarious

To see we struggle to reach da top

Hoping we mek a flop

But dem will never kill da hope

Cuz we still stand like warriors of light

Ya hear me, warriors of light

Born inna de ghetto

Raised inna de seewer

Fresh out from da gutter

We get to shine in da dark

Born inna de ghetto

Raised inna de seewer

Fresh out from da gutter

We get to shine in da dark

On doit briller briller briller dans le noir

We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark

On doit briller briller briller dans le noir

We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark

Alors prépare la contre-attaque à l’angle mort des meurtrières

J’sais que nos muscles, nos nerfs sont bien plus sûrs que leurs prières

Au programme, le prolo rompt les rangs et le proclame

Avec l’insoumission d’rigueur et la bonne vieille parole profane

Aspiration verticale, j’ai l’intention d’me redresser

Direct c’est l’agression frontale pour qui voudrait me rabaisser

Y a qu’une façon de s’en sortir et tu peux m’croire

L'époque est sombre, on est réduit à devoir briller dans le noir

Hey!

Now that I’ve seen da light, Babylon can’t blur my sight

I know I get dis fire inside inna low or high tide

Babylon could never spoil da ride

I’m da captain of my ship, giving da Lord my soul to keep

I giggle and laugh to hear dem wheep

Cuz they thought we would never mek it

But now we’ve passed through and we sitting on da throne

And guess who’s laughin', we still outstand the light

Warriors of light!!!

L’espoir est dans la lutte, j’réponds présent au rendez-vous

Your future lies within your hands, don’t let dem control U

Hommage aux fils de rien, ceux qui résistent et rendent les coups

Every man deserve his share so tek what is for U

We've been programmed inna dem schools to be used as tools

Slaved by their system

But they will never prevent us from shining in da dark

You know what?

No way to shave the walls, I want to break them

At home the atmosphere is far too gloomy I came to electrify it

Inhabited by a thirst for life that no one monetizes

There's nuggets of gold on my side to make the sun pale

To hunker down too much, the cup is full of rage

And the pattern recurs when our kids get older

So understand that here the thirst for revenge is sickly

'Cause I come from a world where there's no other alternative

Dem seh noting good will never come from us

From we born inna da ghetto

Dem seh we dangerous

Never wanna tek we serious

It a mek dem hilarious

To see we struggle to reach da top

Hoping we mek a flop

But dem will never kill da hope

Cuz we still stand like warriors of light

Ya hear me, warriors of light

Born inna de ghetto

Raised inna de seewer

Fresh out from da gutter

We get to shine in da dark

Born inna de ghetto

Raised inna de seewer

Fresh out from da gutter

We get to shine in da dark

We gotta shine shine shine in the dark

We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark

We gotta shine shine shine in the dark

We get to shine, shine, shine, shine in da dark

So prepare the counterattack at the blind spot of the loopholes

I know that our muscles, our nerves are much safer than their prayers

On the program, the prolo breaks ranks and proclaims it

With the insubordination of rigor and the good old profane speech

Vertical suction, I intend to straighten up

Direct is the frontal aggression for who would demean me

There's only one way out and you can believe me

Times are dark, we're reduced to having to glow in the dark

Hey!

Now that I've seen da light, Babylon can't blur my sight

I know I get dis fire inside inna low or high tide

Babylon could never spoil da ride

I'm da captain of my ship, giving da Lord my soul to keep

I giggle and laugh to hear dem wheep

Cuz they thought we would never mek it

But now we've passed through and we sitting on da throne

And guess who's laughin', we still outstand the light

Warriors of light!!!

Hope is in the fight, I'm here for the appointment

Your future lies within your hands, don't let dem control U

Tribute to the sons of nothing, those who resist and fight back

Every man deserve his share so tek what is for U
