LYRICS GAME

At first, there was only emptiness, no cities and no humans

Those morons hungry for banknotes

So the void, then after a little while

Balalabigbang

Here comes the Big Bang

Thousands of particles smash into each other

In the void, multiplying

In the abyss, like sperm cells

Now Earth shows up but it's a barren Earth

Sorry scientists, I know you'll laugh at that

There was no water, only volcanoes and lava

In the middle of the great beyond

It wasn't worth the trip

But humans weren't there so it was calm

Later in the verse that won't be the case

The arrival of water was a big step

The blue planet, it's wonderful

A spin-out

In the endless universe stretching from galaxies to nebulas

I'm moved

I keep going 'cause now the microbes appear

Cells split in mitosis

There's life in the water, nothing in the air

Aquatic creatures with funny names

Then a fish lands on Earth and struggles

It all starts with him, yeah, it all starts there

Come on my guy, look, legs are sprouting on him

Don't stop, I'm thrilled by the show

He walks on proud legs, my friends, here come the mammals

The machine's running, nobody can stop it now

Listen to me kid 'cause everything's hereditary

All this keeps going up to the apes

Guess who's next?

When one of them stands on two feet

I don't know if you realize the impact

Here's our buddy, the Australopithecus

From here on, I'll speed up, man

The rest is in every library

Shh, don't talk about it with the priest

Humans organize into societies

Change gods by place and kings by laws

Basically he invented everything, the wheel and fire

So today, he believes in himself

Armies and walls

Swords and battles

Knights or the Maasai

On Earth it's a mess

Cattle is the currency

Cutting each other up for medals

Life's just a detail in this battle royale

But don't be scared kid, don't worry

There aren't only b*stards

There's art and beauty in the mix

Magnificent palaces, polished stones

Palettes of brushes

For every master painting in the cathedrals

And every dish in the palaces, you see there's a gap

From the best to the worst, that's what we're capable of

I see you're turning pale

For the worst it's not your fault

You weren't there, don't cry it's okay

Quickly Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance

The discovery of America and the slavery that comes with it

The Revolution in Paris, then kings lose their heads

Two world wars, deportation

Hearts weren't in a party mood

All that so my parents could meet

F*ck and so I could be born

So I grow up and I talk and I rap and I break through

Anyway humanity closed every loop

Up to this moment when you're hearing this verse

If we squeeze the history of the universe into one year

The Big Bang happens on January first

Earth forms early September, life appears on the 9th

On December 31st, the great apes show up at 2 p.m

Homo sapiens, modern man

As modern as Bigflo Oli, arrives at 11:48 p.m

Of course past and future go together

Teleported there, you won't have any bearings

Imagine the evolution humanity will make

If the world keeps moving at light speed

We'll rush into gigantic cities

Where buildings pile up

Maybe we'll only eat insect vitamins

And vacuum-packed bars of nasty food

Delivered to us in packs

Steak-fries in 20 milliliters

Big Macs in tiny pills at the bottom of the bag

We'll have forgotten every vegetable's color

Living on the Moon but gawking at a tomato plant

In the old-time museum

We'll see the animals from before, stuffed

Forks to show how people used to eat

Squares of grass under glass and flowers framed

Imagine the state of flora and fauna

A new finger on the hand to hold my iPhone

A chip deep in the head, we've changed the rules

No more bikes, no more skates, there'll only be drones

Cancer cured in two weeks

An AIDS vaccine saves the human race

Life expectancy calculated in one test

Synthetic tweaking of biological genomes

Chemical battles, no more bullets or tanks

Elon Musk on the banknotes

Quintessence, constant evolution

Galaxies expanding

Big Freeze, Big Bang

At the start, there was only emptiness

But life's challenge only frayed humanity's threads

Unlimited greed in the cities

Pushed the f*cking past to flip a coin

You get it, you show off?

But in the time of one frame

You leave the game

You f*ck then you freeze

You'll fill the dumpster like clothes in a thrift shop

You win or you lose while time crumbles

A film and the fame for the atoms that dodge each other

Barely time to live, you end up dead

You can shout "Please, help, heaven"

All your grandkids will've already forgotten your face

Religions might end up merging

All faith conflicts forgiven over time

Holograms rule us

Politics is robotic

Votes, stats and databases

Technological revolution

Demographic evolution

Diplomatic relations

Digital revelation

The world's too fast and time's unkind

Where the avant-garde become tomorrow's has-beens

A little scared

But I won't get to know it

Wholeheartedly

For the planet's fight

Gently

Yeah, humans who connect

All in their

Tragedy

The greatness

Of humanity will be reborn

A quarter hour

For thousands of kilometers

The authors

Will tell you online

That a rapper

Had predicted it

Man, have you seen the state of the world?

Hunger, bullets and bombs

Tell Galileo he was right, Earth was round

From the ecu to Ethereum

Those who lived in Rome

Too shocked to pay to visit the Colosseum

From voice to CD-ROM

Neurons linked like telecoms

Libraries burn so Google Chrome

Carbon-14

Speculation, who'll pop the bubble-gum bubble?

I hit the gas and take off, from up here I see the men

We're earthworms if the planet is an apple

And you know a war's the best PR stunt

And in millennia who'll be playing the album?

I poke and I prod, tics and OCDs, I emptied the stock

I leaked the posts and we aimed for the top, by cheating or flopping

Rigged the votes

It's going too fast bro, we've only one life so maybe I should stop
