(Wake up, wake up)
I wonder if I could be dreaming (dreaming)
I wonder if I could be dreaming (dreaming)
I wonder if I could be dreaming (dreaming)
I wonder if I could be dreaming (dreaming)

It's the right minute, the right hour to show my power
So, let me shine, bloom like a flower
For those who got too much self-esteem
Keep in mind knowledge reigns supreme
I used to live fast, I knew I wouldn't last
So I changed and broke a bond with the past
I saw the things clear, life is a nightmare
You make money for a year then you're outta here
Huh, too bad in school you were so brillant
Street life and drugs sunk you into oblivion
You should dig in your brain
Girls are really hard to entertain
No, yours like to be served
Ain't she greedy, don't you think she deserves
A smack, she's the arrow, you're the target
Can't you see she's in love with your wallet?
So heed the world of a brother who don't eat swine
In a positive line, and my mind is divine
Explodes in a flow of melody
Open your eyes fight the tragedy, brother wake up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (wake up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (wake up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (wake up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Dieu, Allah n'ont jamais dit : Tuez pour nous
Alors pourquoi des pleurs, des cris, des morts partout?
Les religions se veulent apôtres de la paix
Mais en leur nom combien d'enfants sont tombés?
Combien de petits corps chétifs ont plié?
Sous le poids d'une croix qu'il n'ont jamais portée
Par la faute d'un homme qui s'est cru entité
Qui rassembla ses fils et leur cria "tuez!"
Inutile de dire leurs armes, qui les fournissait
La vie de mille hommes vaut bien moins que ses propres intérêts
La croyance est donc utilisée
Pour soutirer de l'argent, au peuple berné
Alors se retourne dans sa tombe St-Vincent de Paul
En voyant que l'église est devenu un jeu de monopole
Pour le rôle principal à présent c'est la course
Bientôt l'ostie sera cotée en bourse
Monde réveille-toi, va au-delà de ta foi
Et prends conscience du fait que l'on abuse de toi
Tu dois arrêter dès à présent de fixer les cieux
Et regarder enfin la réalité dans les yeux
Il est aberrant qu'au nom de ça, il ait coulé tant de sang
Qu'il se soit déifié en affluant leurs dents
Faut-il qu'on vous secoue comme des shakers
Pour comprendre qu'à ce problème, il n'y a qu'une solution, wake Up

I wonder if I could be dreaming (dreaming)
I wonder if I could be dreaming (dreaming)
(Wake up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (wake up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (wake up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (wake up)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

You wake up in a world of combinations
Where is the future of the next generation?
You go to school to get a good education
Work to live and live to strive for your nation
Down with my posse, we refused to dig that
To admit that they played like pity pack
The Asiatic automatic Akhenaton
Might be raw but it's a better paragon
Than any other rhymer unstable
Remains green like a ping-pong table
Than any politician, I teach revelation
All kind of disses, a weak manifestation
Some say my brain is an encyclopedia
I guess it's why I don't lie like the media
I break the wrath of the evil in half
Strictly science in this paragraph
Pullin' IAM soul of islam
Listen, you will come to no harm
By the way in the light we rest
While the evil is plunged in the dark side of the moon crest
A.k.H.E.N.A.T.O.N. Is a pro and
Elaborates a battle plan with no end
This is the tongue of the truth, no fakin', no makeup
Get up and stand up, fight for your rights, brother, wake up

(Wake up) this is the funky sound
(Wake up) ici ce réveille Khéops, le DJ suprême
S.H.U.R.I.K, apostrophe-N, poète authentique tiré du Noumène
Et Imhotep, l'architecte musical d'I.A.M
Mais aussi Abdelmalek S.U.L.T.A.N
D.I.B.I.N, Kephren
P.S.O.D.I de Paris à Si-E.,N
Et bien sûr, P.H.A.R.A.O.N, A.K.H.E.N.A.T.O.N
T.O.N, T.O.N, au Micro-P.H.O.N
Que font-ils des poèmes?
Telle est la Q.U.E.S.T.I.O.N
