(Intro - Beat cupo, con un sample di una sirena lontana)
(Verse 1 - English)
Yo, check the mic, one two, can you hear the pain?
In these concrete jungles, nothin's ever the same
They buildin' walls, try'na keep us in our place
But the spirit's strong, can't erase this race
From the history books, from the streets we roam
We fightin' back, reclaimin' what's our own
They profit off our struggle, our sweat and tears
But the revolution's comin', year after year
(Chorus - French)
On se lève, on se bat, contre l'injustice
La vérité éclate, brisant le silence complice
On n'oublie pas, on pardonne jamais
Pour nos frères et sœurs, on se relève à jamais
(Verse 2 - English)
They call us thugs, criminals, a threat to society
But they the real criminals, hidin' in their ivory
Towers of power, corrupt and full of greed
Plantin' seeds of hate, fulfillin' their evil creed
But we see through the lies, the propaganda game
We know our worth, ain't ashamed of our name
We stand tall, united, a force to be reckoned
The time for change is now, the future's second
(Chorus - French)
On se lève, on se bat, contre l'injustice
La vérité éclate, brisant le silence complice
On n'oublie pas, on pardonne jamais
Pour nos frères et sœurs, on se relève à jamais
(Bridge - French/English)
Ils veulent nous diviser, but we won't fall apart
Our voices rise together, a work of art
From the streets of Paris to the blocks of New York
We fightin' for freedom, ain't no turnin' back
(Chorus - French)
On se lève, on se bat, contre l'injustice
La vérité éclate, brisant le silence complice
On n'oublie pas, on pardonne jamais
Pour nos frères et sœurs, on se relève à jamais
(Outro - English)
Yeah, the revolution's here, can you feel it in the air?
A new generation risin', showin' that we care
So stand up, speak out, let your voice be heard
Together we can change the world, word.
(Beat fades out with a powerful echo)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
