Medine – Speaker Corner (English lyrics)

1st verse :
“Around here “Republic” and “Nation” are nothing more than subway stations”
Again another sentence that will fill up Fienkielkraut’s mouth
10 years later, I’m spreading my message by the means of provocation
We’re taking the same ones and we’re starting over, get up stand up & wake up
I am in France and I’ll remain here, Anti colonialist #JeanJaurès
I’m a new Franco-Algerian like Jacques Mansour Vergès
I’m the rooster and the fennec fox, can you see the voice that I’m giving birth to
I’m an explosive cocktail : Ramadan, Brassens and Edwy Plenel
We’re in search of role models, they’re in search of business models
You’re searching for the problem, you won’t find it in the mouth of an eight year old child
Apologist’s mouth, if you’re wearing Reebok and Polo Jean
This isn’t hate speech but honesty, word of Apollo Creed
In the no go zones, we’ve got the chromosomes
Stand up guys and Amazones, my skin tone is my yellow star
I’m calling for a social Jihad, in order to fight against illiteracy
It’s the politicians that follow us, we only act by mimicry
My name Medine, Latin version of the holy town of Al Madina
They can assimilate me, point their fingers at me, but the people call me Madiba
State handouts at minimum is nothing more or nothing less than an assisted suicide
My mini me will assist to the end of times, it’s already programmed

Chorus :
Speaker Corner (x3)
What I am speaks so much volume that you would forget what I’m saying (X2)
Who we are speaks so much volume that you would forget what we’re saying (X4)

2nd verse :
I’m nothing but a statistic for those at Place Beauvau
A little bit of exoticism for the boho class
On all the talk shows a paintball target
And I’m not Dominique Sopo’s friend
Voting for the FN is licking it’s spit
Get in the airplane, the country will crash
Every time that I speak out, there’s always articles against me
Freedom of speak isn’t only for Charb’
We were colonized, I’m coming to return the favor
After the pile of euro bills, there’s always a pile of problems
This is the second season, we’re done being seasoned
Let’s free ourselves from the prisoner’s chains
The immigrants are no longer migrants
And I prove it very day, on Bullet Proof’s beats
You guys are only deaf to the speeches, nothing but insults
Storm warning on all the intellectual terrorists
A lie repeated a thousand times will never become a truth

Chorus :
A lie repeated a thousand times will never become a truth (X2)
What I am speaks so much volume that you would forget what I’m saying (X2)
Who we are speaks so much volume that you would forget what we’re saying (X4)
