Yeah yeah yeah
On my mother's head
Ouohouoh
Yeah eh eh
Aïe, po po po
It's pointless to run
I sing misery with a smile
We go from laughter to tears
Enveloped in the flames
Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily
It's pointless to run
I sing misery with a smile
We go from laughter to tears
Enveloped in the flames
Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily
God Bless my brothers and my sisters
Always a smile which never bends, doesn't break
We rock to much back and forth with Sarko and Carla
Meanwhile Africa bleeds of a bright red blood (Yeah eh eh)
We live in a dirty time
It bleeds in the four corners of the world
So I raise my glass
To the health of the Earth, my God the world suffers
On my mother's head
My brothers worth gold, my sisters worth gold
They view us like pieces of meat, it rains shells outside
Liberty a treasure, reggae in the government
A fist raised in the air
Proud like Bob says: "One love"1
It's pointless to run
I sing misery with a smile
We go from laughter to tears
Enveloped in the flames
Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily
It's pointless to run
I sing misery with a smile
We go from laughter to tears
Enveloped in the flames
Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
I ask 3 minutes of reggae
For the brothers who have vanished, for the youth of the world
Who protest in the street
The fight continues and it is announced to be terrible
The devil charms us and takes the form of Katy Perry
Like this is killed a brother who sings reggae (Ah man, Ah man)
This is for the brothers who have been emprisoned, from Marseille to Panama
The Earth trembles
Could be the tectonic plates
Could be the punishment for having oppressed my black brothers
Oh Marine, we'll have your skin
We'll form one harmony, one body, one flag
Message from lower France for upper France
Oh oh...ooooo
It's pointless to run
I sing misery with a smile
We go from laughter to tears
Enveloped in the flames
Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily
It's pointless to run
I sing misery with a smile
We go from laughter to tears
Enveloped in the flames
Since politics doesn't give a shit about what happens on the daily
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
It's pointless to run
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
Yeah eheh ouho oh oh
It's pointless to run
