I need love and I need courage

Need for bravery in everyone around me

I have the DNA of a silverback gorilla

But need a Bentley Continental GT

Need a presidential suite at the Pullman

Need to smoke Doumam chicha there

Need the teachings of Kwame Nkrumah

Need a team that moves if there is a problem

Talk to me about Africa, don't talk to me about Wakanda

Congo, our children will end up winning

All my respect for the people of Rwanda

But there is a need for capital punishment for Kagame

Need to steal Dassault's billions

Need to remind that the RN is fascist

Need for sovereignty for Mali

And I join forces with the youth of Burkina Faso

Need peace as a dragon knight

Need to kill the republic of bosses

Need a real solution or a revolution

To overthrow Macron's kingdom

Need to see Africa never resigned

She stops believing that Putin is more stylish

Russia and France, it's always the same white people

They will choose their side when they are reconciled

Need big mouths when no one says anything

Need for land for Palestinian state

Need to avoid big scandals

All my life, I'm tired of prose combat, but here it is

I'm happy, calm, cushy, hallelujah

I'm not a model, I'm not a prophet, hallelujah

Maybe the truth is elsewhere, hallelujah

Maybe our little ones will be better, hallelujah

I need to love to avoid carnage

Need to honor the memory of the Kanaks

Need to curb price inflation

Need to be human before being Charlie

Need for the ghettos of France to avoid drama

Need justice for Nahel, Adama

Need for a fairer and more visionary system

When cops who murder become millionaires

There are too many chimeras, need prayers

Need light, four hundred years is too long

I need to get closer to God

And check all the religions of the settlers

Need templates, need an icon

Need for brothel and need for people

Need space away from criminal waves

Need to confront white privilege

Need French rap to get out of the routine

Need a double album from Despo Rutti

Need the rappers I meet to be in panic

To traumatize them like on 'Grand Paris'

Need to love each other until the next time

Need my texts not to end up in court

Need to avoid big scandals

All my life, I'm tired of prose combat, but here it is

I'm happy, calm, cushy, hallelujah

I'm not a model, I'm not a prophet, hallelujah

Maybe the truth is elsewhere, hallelujah

Maybe our little ones will be better, hallelujah

goumage — fight / brawl

Goumage is a French slang term, particularly from the Parisian suburbs, that refers to a fight or a brawl. It's a vivid and informal word that adds a raw, authentic feel to the lyrics.

In the song, Youssoupha uses it in the line "Besoin d'une équipe qui bouge si y a goumage" (Need a team that moves if there's a fight), highlighting a need for loyalty and readiness to defend in challenging situations. Its slang nature makes it interesting and less common than standard French words for 'fight'.

Youssoupha's "PROSE COMBAT" is a powerful and direct look at the world through his eyes, full of desires for change and justice. He lays out a long list of things he needs, from personal growth like "J'ai besoin d'amour et j'ai besoin de courage" [I need love and I need courage] to grander political statements.

He's not afraid to call out injustices, demanding "Besoin d'une terre pour l'État palestinien" [Need a land for the Palestinian state] and justice for victims like Nahel and Adama. Youssoupha also takes aim at political figures and systems, even stating "Besoin de tuer la république des patrons" [Need to kill the republic of bosses] and "Pour renverser le royaume de Macron" [To overthrow the kingdom of Macron]. It's a song that shows his fatigue with constant struggle, as he says, "Toute ma vie, j'suis fatigué du prose combat" [All my life, I'm tired of the prose combat], but he keeps fighting with his words.
