En face [English translation]

The first time I saw the truth in front of me (yeah)

I had to understand the system they put in place (ok)

Our brains are complex and lots of our connections (what?)

We create them ourselves with what we show and what we hide (ok)

Does my life boil down to generating cash? (nah)

Will I be subjected to the product of my education?

If when I receive violence,

will I redistribute it, or will I strengthen

my armor to stop the damage

Together, we all form a nation

Nobody teaches you to think for

yourself, the response is in the question

The day you decide to jump the fence and

fly like a free spirit, you won't feel the pressure anymore

The truth is in the sound of a voice when it lies

In the eyes or in the movements, it's just in front of you, bro

It's in the love of your loved-ones despite their wounds

In the force that will make you get up tomorrow for your mission

The truth is right in front of you

The truth is right in front of you

(In front of you, right in front of you)

The truth is right in front of you (In front of

you, it's right in front of you, open your eyes)

The truth is right in front of you

(In front of you, right in front of you)

If you refuse to see certain things you won't see them

Money before good times

They considered my dreams

incinerated, we light them up when we set ourselves on fire

I didn't think we'd ignore each other like Simone, because of the sum

I didn't think we'd sign, or that they'd assign me (yeah)

I won't even tell you what these disgusting guys told me when they

saw that I pulled up my jeans and that I'd negotiate my own deal (without a manager)

Who could think I'd dodge their ceremonies?

All of Paris-Sud1 would be my shelter and Île-de-France2 would be my island3

That on the tallest tree,

I'd make a nest

A migrant bird with panafrican ideas

I'm not often in Panama

Frequently but no other city cut me the same

I understand the troublemakers, If you wanna know: I even visit them

I remember the ne-skis4 we evaded on the square

Now the squad is in the kiosks, who dares anything?

I'm on my moped, my label has my back

I reassure the mob, we're numerous on the map, yeah

The truth is right in front of you

The truth is right in front of you

(In front of you, right in front of you)

The truth is right in front of you (In

front of you, it's right in front of you)

The truth is right in front of you

(In front of you, right in front of you)

The truth is right in front of you (In

front of you, it's right in front of you)

The first time I saw the truth in front of me

I understood I was just a coward living out of step
