    La Caution - Mint Tea

    Nikkfurie:
    Boy, I still remember Mrs. Nicole
    A teacher who thought Arab kids weren't made for school
    I used to wear velvet pants with holes, red plastic boots,
    A wool hood, a sweater and Play sneakers
    The barber didn't even know I existed yet,
    But the first time he saw us, he just gave up
    We were young and innocent
    With snot all over our noses and no tissue
    We used to squat in the sandbox with our friends and ideas
    In order to vandalize, without even knowing it
    Our parents owned nothing, so we hung around with nothing
    According to our neighbors, who were big racists, for your information
    We were ill-bred and their German shepherd was better drilled
    Yeah I can't believe it, actually I've never believed it
    Because the parental love is the only love I've ever received
    So, not to get worked up, what can calm us down
    Is the benefits of mint in some tea

    Hi-Tekk:
    First generation: slums, undercover mood in some pub in Barbès
    Mint tea, couscous and tajines à la carte
    No more scopitones for Mouloud and Saïd Abd Allah
    With a nasty accent, "enough salams" says Hassan the athlet
    Coming from Algeria, from Hollywood to Tamanrasset
    No more mint tea, only bitter words
    Like a retard, I got a headache,
    Running in my Stan Smith shoes, Adidas, 501 jeans, whatever
    It's a bomb attack going down there
    For a few more bills, carnage is in the air
    This France disintegrates me: they treat Arabs like unhinged barbarians
    Fu*k the culture of barbecues, steaks and fast food
    In the homeland it's all djellabas and sandals from Oujda to Casablanca
    It's so trivial down my block, I'm bored and too thin
    They're skinning each other in my hall, my pain and my joy merge
    And it's all that remains of our cultural heritage

    Nikkfurie:
    My teenage years were all about Nastase sneakers and 501 jeans
    Pento hair gel, funk tapes and my dad in his 505 Peugeot car
    Then the word "Problem" came up, with a capital P
    And everybody started to shake and pee their pants facing it
    After innocence, pessimism became fixed,
    In front of glow, the right path bent
    I reached out for happiness and it hurt me
    Like only money and honor can make me real
    But around here, they can accuse you of things
    That if you had really done, you'd have hanged yourself
    They need an Arab, a Black, whatever, as long as it's concrete
    We've had the chance not to ever take ourselves seriously
    Moving in vices without ever doing the somersault
    Trying to make our lives different from swan dives
    At school, we were vultures against Baudelaire's albatross
    We saw ourselves in rap music, against all real expectation
    Recipe: samplers, pens and mint tea
