LYRICS GAME

We don't claim to be role models for the kids

Or for anybody else

We just wanna say that

The bridge that leads to success

Is a fragile bridge

I asked for pardon without it being given to me

I asked for my route without anybody pointing it out

I swapped my studies for a platinum record

Knowing full well that sooner or later your crowd tramples you

I saw things big, I've got time, I've got talent

I stay on guard, I'm only a man

They shoot my image with Canon 7Ds

I do all this for me, the doubters, and my mom

I blew a fuse

I quit school

If only you knew

All the pain I keep

That's my direction

I blew a fuse, without quitting or letting go

No news, low battery, damn curse

From now on I'm moving forward, that's my direction

My direction

I fled the bells, the scraping chairs

I was looking for other kinds of riches

From Anne Frank's diary to Bridget's

I've never liked reading since I was twelve

Despite the crossings-out I scratch the paper

It's my direction, I haven't scattered

Benched more than once, back to the wall

Too proud to ask welfare for help

Homies as family, the stage as goal

Slowed down by sons of shhh

I remember that at the start

We didn't even wanna touch any dough

We rapped dirty

When we all piled up at Le Blanc's

You don't know hypocrisy, that's pro

I wrote on the tram before breaking my back

Today none of that would make sense

Without all those sacrifices, without all that patience

That's my direction

I blew a fuse

Without quitting or letting go

No news, low battery, damn curse

From now on I'm moving forward

That's my direction, my direction

I recall the clashes, the rap battles, the struggle

In the street they rap en masse

They even skip going broke

For sixteen bars my guys jump you

Only kicking beats calms us

Our voices, our hands rise

When dirty cops put us down

The dream's at our feet so we sleep head to toe

We bathe in riches

But our lips stay dry

I wanna live off my passion

'Cause every job disgusts me

We only wanted recognition

We didn't wanna talk cash

Now we kick the struggle out

Even if our past still hosts it

They wanna buy rides

Hit the States market

If we rowed that hard

It's so we're stocked at the finish

To properly grill the haters

Who wanted to sink us

But that job I quit

To move mountains better

Result, my faith drops

My faults are countless

Don't look for the light too much

The sun burns your skin

Yeah success smokes you, you barely puff it

That's my direction

I blew a fuse

Without quitting or letting go

No news, low battery, damn curse

From now on I'm moving forward, that's my direction

My direction

F work, a trade diploma doesn't pay

With the homies, for rap we stay up late

Despite overdrafts, lousy bosses

I dropped everything to conquer venues, let's go

A suicidal plan, we make it or we bounce

And you follow us if you dig it, bro

Determined, we hit the front with no armor

And the most down-to-earth say

We're smashing into a wall

The folks don't know what I do, they say I'm sleeping

They think their kid roams, lives only outside

Not knowing that this little jerk is cooking up gold records

And all those who overlook him are dead wrong

I know where I'm going, not knowing if I'll be welcome

I'm not invited and I'm rolling with UFOs

I'm heading for glory and pro-trouble

Music's a problem woman

But damn I love her too much

That's my direction

I blew a fuse

Without quitting or letting go

No news, low battery, damn curse

From now on I'm moving forward, that's my direction

My direction

You're screwed if you fail in your situation

Screwed if you fail in your situation
