Démineur [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Indecision sets in when you need to choose a path without knowing where it leads

It only takes a bad friend to keep the good ones away

Why are words so light in the mouths of the one uttering them?

We all have our fair share of burdens, but why do the neighbors’ appear so light?

I don’t understand why humans are so insensitive to suffering unless they’re feeling it in the flesh

Was it the fruit of a fit of madness? The lands they looted and then shared among themselves

It’s the dead that open the eyes of the living to the divine decree

Philosophers drink some wine as they talk into the air

There’s public outcry, a man is in agony because of a blunder

“Believe everything the media spews, but no more filming the police”

Since I can’t weigh my words, I try to count them, I make an assessment every year

When I zip it, it’s because I don’t want my words to be the undoing of everything my silence has earned

[Refrain]

At the forefront like a mine remover, I’m waiting for my time

At the forefront like a mine remover

[Verse 2]

It’s a new day, I’m still a celebrity

But it's all fragile, so I get to work like a madman

Police won’t come ringing at my door, knowledge is power

You can try unhorsing me

What’s with these people insulting God to exercise their freedom of speech

I’d insult their mothers too, if that were a solid enough argument

If I was the one speaking my mind

I’d find myself defenselessly under fire

Marginalized, we grew up like seedlings among weeds

We want certifications in the first week of the album release

We want to hit the jackpot, we don’t want to count pennies

God have mercy on us, we’re not walking straight on the path

[Refrain]

At the forefront like a mine remover, I’m waiting for my time

At the forefront like a mine remover
