Ruste Juxx, Skanks, Lucio Bukowski

[Couplet 1 : Lucio Bukowski]
J'ferai pas semblant d'chuter comme Sonny Liston face à Ali
Pas d'échappatoire, je suis un insomniaque face à un lit
La vie n'chante pas en chœur, donc j'écris peu d'refrains
Si mes textes sont courts, c'n'est qu'un leurre de fin
Pour me souvenir où j'en suis, j'écorne le haut d'une page
Me situe quelque-part dans le halo d'une tâche
Anonyme, j'ai plus de mots, mais j'glisse pareil
Vous offre de mes digressions d'ici que j'disparaisse
J'traîne dans Lyon, un caf' avant d'aller au taf
Songe à m'barrer autre part, finis fané au tram'
Puis je compte les secondes au milieu d'autres damnés
Toucherai même pas un pour-cent d'mes rêves, faute d'années
J'fumerais bien une clope pour m'occuper les mains
Parmi vous, je suis gêné, j'voudrais retrouver les miens
Si l'existence est un voyage, pourquoi pas s'barrer ?
J'sais pas si Dieu existe, mais il doit bien s'marrer
Nos visages vieillissent, mais les cheveux blancs m'vont bien
Tu veux t'séparer d'ton spleen ? Dis-moi, tu l'vends combien ?
Je vis un peu mieux quand l'inspiration m'atteint
Étrange comme écrire sur la mort à quatre heures du matin

[Pont 1]
Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
[Couplet 2 : Ruste Juxx]
Everytime I try it I fail, but never quit
Just gettin' by on my charm and sharp wits
I push and persist, tryna make that hit
Cause with the in-crowd I just don't fit
Sort of like a misfit cast to the side
Got too much pride and I have to provide
So it's no other fuckin' way
Givin' up on my dreams? No mothafuckin' way
Niggas ask me in the hood, "Yo Juxx you still rappin'?"
Bitch I just came off tour makin' it happen
They only recognize the mainstream movement
Underground rappers like I made no improvement
Another washed up artist tryna come up
Noose around the neck of my career, left hung up
Out to dry, you 'bout to fly
With wings on your back, shot down out the sky
I'm a legend

[Pont 2]
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
And you, my father, there on the sad height

[Couplet 3 : Skanks]
I wake up every morning, I'm fed
Another day, another dollar, goin' hard for this bread
My mama say I'm hard in the head
She hates when I argue with dad
She'll smack me for talkin' to her like I talk to my friends
But she gots to be strong, to raise three sons in the ghetto
With none of us dead or locked up for long
So I keep pushin' on, even though it took me long
I endured the storm, went through the struggle
And put it in my songs, no make believe
Started out tryna make it with the team
But half dead or locked up, the rest just gave up on their dreams
Now I'm on Shinigami tryna get this label off
Since bad cop is takin' off, Keo better break it soft
Cause once the money right and everything is runnin' smooth
I'ma stop takin' conference calls from them other dudes
Do your research, you'll see I go to work
But I go berserk you try to jerk me, cause I know what I'm worth
