Hand on heart, I swear to tell the truth
To say what I think, I swear to not forget
Why I rap, why I have chosen to shout my rage
Why I need to get away without really leaving
Why I want to break fuck up their barriers, or live my life quickly
Impulsively, not richly, I don't give a damn, I want content, not packaging!
I swear to stay honest in my words
And loyal in my acts, I swear, I spit on ever returning to their charade!
I swear to not shut up, I rap, I sing, maybe I embarrass myself
But I've chosen my side for myself and for the people I love!
I swear to fight for my causes that my childhood dreams brought up
And if tomorrow they listen to me, to shout the truth
I swear to stay good and not turn evil
To stay loyal to what I believe, to never be a traitor
Even if they belittle me or misrepresent my words
Stay honest, that's a promise, my people know that they have my word
chorus:
Hand on heart, I swear to tell the truth
Even if it seems crazy, I swear that only the truth will guide
My words and my goals, I swear to never forget
What pushed me to rap, to write and to talk to the people
(x2)
Hand on heart, I swear to stay loyal to my own
To my convictions, to my fight, and, at least, to the anger from the streets
To those who supported me when everything went wrong
When I thought too much or when the street was my mattress!
Those who believed in my words, in my need to shout out loud:
Fuck your stupid system, I'll progress toward my own ideals!
I swear it!
And I shall bear witness to you!
I no longer have the right to back off, because I've come so far!
I swear to not forget where I started
The listener in my heart, the lost song of mislead youths
Those who grew up drowning, in their fucking veiled tension
And for those who returned to the starry heavens too early...
Years pass, but I swear to not forget the stalemate!
The traces in my soul, that I have to trace into my art, even if they don't let me in
Well I don't care!
As long as I stay loyal to my principals!
And even if the pages turn, today, my promise is recorded
chorus
