Fuck the Clones, Part II

Versions:
[Chorus]
All I see are clones, it started at school
Who do you give your shoulder to to pull you through?
Here, everyone plays a role, dreaming ‘bout millions of euros
And I pushed through like a rose among nettles
 
[Verse 1]
I promised you one day you would remember our faces
I’m not gonna shut up
Depressed from elementary to high school, I felt like a prisoner
Because teachers always wanted to grade me
But I still liked learning, I was different
From everyone who told me, “Either you fight or you suffer”
I dreamed of adventures, I tagged storefronts
I rebelled against everything that was forbidden
I didn’t care ‘bout all their phony TV shows
I wanted to see the world before being called back before God
I read in my hiding place so no one would make fun of me
While boys my age talked about cars
One of the boys from back in the day used to sell Armani Code
One sunny day he brought a gun to school
I was shocked to see him with a Glock
I don’t give a fuck about your fucking area codes
I told him I was scared, but I had a heart
I’m always there for my fucking boys
Now for him, the sound of gunshots is ingrained in his brain
The people who hung 'round the block pulled him down
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Never give in to peer pressure
When you do the wrong thing, you feel it deep down
 
[Chorus](x2)
 
[Verse 2]
I’m a drifter, don’t tell me we’re supposed to stagnate
Get out! I don’t feel like a homebody
I’m unstable, don’t tell me to settle down
When you’re different, they wanna fight you
It sucks when you have a dream your parents don’t want
Dragging me down, don’t worry, I’m gonna fight
I don’t like when I’m walking and I see
This kid getting hounded for his weight problems
But who do we think we are? Sad puppets
I write my thoughts hoping Jesus can hear me
While it’s the ice age in our hearts
Aymé? He’s more than a character from H
We are not barcodes
You’re popular on social media, then your ratings disappear, nah
We are not barcodes
You’re popular on social media, then your ratings disappear
People’s eyes will lead you to the mirage in the mirror
But my vision of rap is like nothing else, I’ll stay angry
As long as the poor have to sleep out on the subway
While the rats keep warm on the tracks
 
[Pre-Hook]
We’re making carbon copies
Who only care about themselves
 
[Chorus](x2)
 
[Bridge](x2)
I teach my struggle by talking about it
I multiply my senses like a handicapped person
How do you find your path when no one shows you the way?
I feel like Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon
 
[Outro]
Fuck the clones
Fuck the clones
Fuck the clones
Fuck the fakes
 
[Sample: Abbé Pierre] Those who put all the food on their plate
Leaving others' plates empty and who, having everything
Say with a smug face, with a clear conscience, “Us? Us who have everything? We are all for peace!”
Do you know what I have to shout at them?
“The first violent ones, the instigators of all violence are you! And at night in your beautiful mansions, when you go to kiss your children with your clear conscience, in the eyes of God, you probably have more blood on your oblivious hands than you will ever have from the desperate who have taken up arms to try to find a way out of their despair.
 

Spokesmodel

[Couplet 1]
I became the one that would have dreamed of being the one I dreamed of being
You follow me? I don't want to wake up
A luxury brand told me 'We don't want rap.'
You know rich folk
I said 'Oh well, peace, I don't talk'
The next day, I banged their spokesmodel
She looked like Natalie Portman
She told me 'I don't want a couple's life either,
tonight, I want to cut myself off from this repulsive world,
baby, come to my hotel and we'll turn off our mobile devices.'
I know quite a bit about that, I'm not telling lies
She bit the pillow like it was a cheesecake
But it's always the same, she took my hands
She told me 'Do you love me?', I said: 'No, you trouble me.'
I repeat myself, I have no guidelines
You're not the only real pearl in my repertoire
One night, wasted under the streetlamps
Maybe I'll turn towards you
Time goes by, I don't know what it means to be still, I
ended up wasted in the middle of the Champs(1), in my city of champions
I'm like a bubble of champagne
Started from below, I want to puncture the surface
An evening full of alcohol, give me their cash
The salmon will be pink and the champagne will be rosé
Mac Cain Family in the studio, it resembles Woodstock
Five in the Mini Austin, the sound takes you to Houston
 
[Couplet 2]
I became the one that would have dreamed of being the one I dreamed of being
You follow me? I don't want to wake up
The same luxury brand told me 'We really want your rap.'
You know rich folk
I said 'No thanks. I built my own brand,
and remind me to hit up your spokesmodel again.'
I haven't given her any news
We weren't naturals, we weren't ourselves
Always on the move at night
But, what counts, is surpassing yourself
I owe it to myself to take advantage of the life that I lead
Before happiness becomes another hard blow
Before, I didn't have the means to dress myself well
Now I put myself in haute couture
I've seen people drown, I'll let myself explain
The fact is, it's hard to pay the rent with a poor salary
In fact, for certain youth self-mutilation has become
the only way for them to make big money(2)
 
[Bridge]
From what I've taken, I'm surely high
I feel close to L.A.
Me too, I'm built on faults
 
[Couplet 3]
The whole world is bad, they love money so much
You talk about friendship but you leave once you don't need my help anymore
Even under jet lag, I stay a gentleman.... Liar!
It's hard to be a youth that rejects evil, my heart
Irradiated by gamma rays, let me get clean
I read the manga shelves while standing, sometimes I might seem like a kid
'You're dangerous, Nekfeu, on stage. You dick around, you go too far!'
Caution is the mother of safety.... Safety, your whore mother!
They want to give me advice, my telephone vibrates
They film my concerts instead of living them
 
[Outro]
Fremont!
You see this image that people have of rap?
We're going to change that...
