Les Raisons De La Colère [English translation]

[Verse 1 : Akhenaton]

If you could see this fire that burns my thorax

My life, I owe it to rap, I owe it to storm

I didn't have the path of little assholes in the hype, no

Teenager I wasn't the king of the night, no

I had my band it wasn't Criminosical

We hanged out in pick-up bars a couple of doors from Pussycat

I kissed the night on her lips

And the street took my hand

She made me a fuckin' good student

Standin' until the end

I took the blocks that were surrounding me

On the sword's wire with my hands like Saladin

What's the point of confiding my secrets?

In the job with a clear head

I let my imagination do the work

I write my master tapes in rabbit hutches

From day to day my lines are gettin' longer on the sheet

No, I don't think of tomorrow

I am the strongest that rap have created.

You're breakin' your back on some olive stones

There's no love here, this war at full speed

Governed by asphalt's rules and no matter origins

I must have missed something "Peace, Love and Having fun"

Became "Bitches, Drugs and Heavy Guns"

Rare are those who have roses to offer

Welcome to the table served with fish and chips

Where the meaning of life got lost into the fog

Where children aren't able to put a name to a vegetable

At the heart of the worst boredom I put my bag down

I've elaborated my plan until God endorses it

Since then, in this field where vassals tolerate me

I write a little each day the reasons of my wrath*

[Refrain]

When you're working your ass, for nothing in the harvest

It's normal that winds bring revolt

When the land you walk on is ploughed by molar

Do you understand at least the reasons of wrath*?

[Couplet 2 : Shurik'n]

I still have the fire since the day I've crossed his path

I've learned to see in the dark and slayed each doubt

They tried to park me but I smelled the wolf-trap

And the passion kidnapped me and raised me like a she-wolf

Grain of salt into the ocean I didn't mean to dissolve

So I swam upstream until another door opens

I needed an elsewhere over ther it smelled too much the gunsmoke

Because of the lack of desire, how much of ours are rottin' away in moats?

Let me pull my pen along this immaculate road

Sow the hardest seeds the sharpest words

Without goals, lonely, disappointed, the givin'up is enlistin' them

And empties them to brown them

I'm sorry

It's not my fault if the hardest minds

Are starting to tilt under the weight of their bracelets

As a result everybody is stoppin' here at street corner

So much sure to fail that finally they no longer try at all...

And so it falls into easiness, it expands the statistics

It makes questionable choices at the most crucial moments

No exemple on the horizon, the place is desert

It doesn't take a lot for starving people to burn their principles

Due to always hear that we were good for nothing

Most ended up believing it

What? Why I am clenchin' teeth?

But what else do you want me to do?

I don't mean to be swallowed

There's a drop of future to glean

Let me head straight for itinstead of staying seated grumbling

To much fences,me I want the green valleys

If I get tired the courage will give me a ride, let's go

Now I've no more time the clock hands runs fast

And I don't want to end up saying myself that life was better before

I'm nobody, no one on earth will silence me

On my sheet I spread all the reasons of my warth

[Refrain]
