[Verse 1 : Nekfeu]
We need to step back from their rotten machine, right now
Tell them we know who causes the rise of criminals
Tell them to get strapped, they want to boycott me
But I still have my listeners, I put out magic
My music bangs like C4
The thefts in Françafrique are in the spotlight
If our countries are rich it's thanks to all that has been looted
Always the same ones profiting, but you won't outlive your gold
Close to death, I know you even found yourself praying, surprised
Head underwater, even though I know we're in our depth
It lacks depth, the less values you have
The more you're worth like a bill's weight in change, consequence?
[Bridge : Nekfeu & Alpha Wann]
Let it run
You think you know and you think you're free ?
Everyone will find his way but you know nothing unless you've read the three Books
Let it run
[Verse 2 : Alpha Wann & Nekfeu]
Life fights me and I take the hits, I learn to stay cool
A nightmare in which I am afraid that my little brothers skip school
It makes me cry hot wax
Too many brothers sitting unemployed
No turning back even when faced with an aryan parade
With skinheads and bald nazis
I'm wandering what they put in it, yeah
The hash makes you go crazy, the figures make you deceitful
Wait ! Let, let, let, let
Hold your memories like a vinyl collection, work to gain your arsenal
Infinite performances, fucking international feeling
It's not normal that my homie cracks, not normal to be locked up in his age
So alone he saw himself dead in a funeral where nobody cried
Pray for the thunder to go away, keep that strong anger
Which, like it was nothing, annoys you when the education system mocks you
Let the vinyl run, asshole
Let the vinyl run when the education system mocks you
It's the same from North to South-East, let the vinyl run
Those who make the laws live above them, let
I said I like nothing but it's not true
I like sales and living far from people
Africa has had too many missonaries, it was fucked too many times
They like pretty niggas who lie
But not ugly ones who speak the truth, me
I'm not like Apollo, like Creed
The Don shouts it scares the neighbourhood, I build barrages
I wear my label's sweatshit, I leave the ties to you
When are they going to recognise slavery as a crime?
[Chorus : Nekfeu]
Let the vinyl run while we think about all this shit man
Let the vinyl run while we forget about all this shit
I said, let the vinyl run while we think about all this shit man
Let the vinyl run while we forget about all this shit
[Verse 3 : Alpha Wann & Nekfeu]
I learned there are some bitch ass men that deserve to hang, let
I tried to forget but forgetting is harder than learning
I might lose myself, they told me that life can only be good
I make sure that it is, Mom didn't raise a stupid nigga
I see a blurry future, that could make me go crazy, yeah
At first I was good but money made me become decietful
Yo I'm not a demon, let, wait
I jerk off in the morning to only think about the dough durning the day
Around me they got problems, the complain but they don't do shit about it
Some people are less scared by the carriage than the impound
I try to reconcile many people but you're solo when they shoot shoot shoot
I derail the train, I'm freestyling on the tchou-tchou-tchou
We're lucid, It's pacts with the Devil that elected officials sign
Fuck the strikes, we need to burn the factory, fire!
I'm not giving lessons, I work on conducting
At the end of the road we'll all pay the toll, Nekfeu A-L-P-H
When you don't even have any more questions to ask, just this strong pain
That pushes on your wounds that ooze pus, the savory smell of blood
Fuck, man, you got a year but when I look at you you aged ten years
'Cause written on your face is a stupefying prison sentence
Mister Archie Shepp destroy the sample, let, let, let, let
[Chorus : Nekfeu]
Let the vinyl run while we think about all this shit man
Let the vinyl run while we forget about all this shit
I said, let the vinyl run while we think about all this shit man
Let the vinyl run while we forget about all this shit
[Verse 4 : Alpha Wann & Nekfeu]
Brother if you're not putting mental barriers on your heart it's because you never suffered
Your chances are slim, the risk is big, suddently all roads are blocked
I ran to follow my dreams so fast I was out of breath
Trip to Las Vegas, paranoid, my shirt was unbuttoned
A somber look to the camera, Jean-Paul in Breathless
I didn't have much money like a kid from Gomorra
Shots fired, rumors heard, a sketch that we'll erase
I give it all for my team 'til my rats are all pros like Era, kho!
South Parisian style, he's not a Yankee
You need to bet on it, Paris XIV, Paris XV, let it run
I can become a great man like Sankara
The first is serious, last one making fun
South of Paris, Pernety-Plaisance
It's Don Dada, need to fight
When Dj Lo' is cooking, I write supersonic bars, the flow's concorde
Ninety-five, Seine Zoo, the collegues are sure
Yeah, L'Entourage, the circled L, like the Lexus logo
You're hanging in gangbangs but you put in those who bust your brick
I hear my brothers screaming lound "free us you son of a bitch"
We're young, but maybe someday, we'll get them on their knees
Those who got us on our knees, you think it's a game?
When they have us on sight, now shoot!
