«Oh please tell me!

What am I supposed to do?

I have a bellyful of rage

But I want to forgive you!»

Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?

I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you

(I've got a back so soft

Better tell me who you are.)

Il sort ses griffes à chaque moquerie, il a trop pris

Dans la face, il voit que le proprio en profite, trop triste !

Ses chroniques ne peuvent payer son loyer

Il sait lire, écrire, mais aussi aboyer

Tu t’es dit: «Ca y est, je l’ai éduqué.»

Black man éradiqué, histoire, passé décapité?

Non non non !

Lourds souvenirs endoloris

Ton âme est bien plus sombre que son coloris

Son peuple est torride

Etouffe entre un hier et demain morbides

Glisse trop souvent, fait du hors-piste

Eparpillé malgré lui aux quatre coins du globe

Je rêve qu’un jour il ait la vision cyclope

Tu sais ce qui cloche chez toi, le cyclone dans la bicoque?

T’as voulu clore le débat car ces problèmes te picottent

C’est auch', à la recherche de sa dignité

A la fois orphelin, parent, drôle d’identité

Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?

I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you

(I've got a back so soft

Better tell me who you are.)

Nou ja vwè

Nous ja aten’d

Mè nou péké rété la ka fè deyè

Lè an gadé douvan sé limiè an…

Lè kè ka travesé chimen, tète lévé

La restan vini goumé

«Oh please tell me!

What am I supposed to do?

I have a bellyful of rage

But I want to forgive you!»

I’m holding a place for those who through thick fog

Spit in your face and maul like a diseased dog

I got the balls on my cannon lined flawless

Shoot from the walls of this XXXXX fortress

Score this for the mind of all to their XXXXX

Women as human slaves, am I really lawless?

XXXXX

And I get no aid when I’m versus XXXXX

I knock the emperor from the empire

XXXXX will wrestle with the vampire

Nou ja vwè

Nous ja aten’d

Mè nou péké rété la ka fè deyè

Lè an gadé douvan sé limiè an…

Lè kè ka travesé chimen, tète lévé

La restan vini goumé

(I've got a back so soft

Better tell me who you are.)

“Oh please tell me!

What am I supposed to do?

I have a bellyful of rage

But I want to forgive you!”

Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?

I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you

(I've got a back so soft

Better tell me who you are.)

He sticks out his claws at every mockery, he's taken too much

In the face, he sees that the owner is taking advantage of it, too sad!

His columns can't pay his rent

He can read, write, but also bark

You thought, "That's it, I educated him."

Black man eradicated, history, decapitated past?

No no no !

Heavy aching memories

Your soul is much darker than its color

His people are hot

Choking between a morbid yesterday and tomorrow

Slips too often, goes off-road

Scattered despite himself to the four corners of the globe

I dream that one day he will have cyclops vision

You know what's wrong with you, the cyclone in the shack?

You wanted to close the debate because these problems tingle you

It's auch', in search of his dignity

Part orphan, part parent, odd identity

Can you tell me brother, what am I to do?

I got a belly of rage but I wanna forgive you

(I've got a back so soft

Better tell me who you are.)

Nou ja vwe

We ja aten'd

Mè nou péké reté la ka fè deyè

Lè an gadé douvan se limè an…

Lè kè ka crossed chimen, head up

La restan vini goume
