Rèv an mwen …

Guy Tirolien

Lonè é rèspé misyé Tirolien!

Seigneur, je suis fatigué. Je suis né fatigué. Et j'ai beaucoup marché depuis le chant du coq / Et le morne (petite montagne) est bien haut qui mène à leur école. Seigneur, je ne veux plus aller à leur école / Faites, je vous en prie, que je n'y aille plus. Je veux suivre mon père dans les ravines fraîches / Quand la nuit flotte encore dans le mystère des bois / Où glissent les espirits que l'aube vient chasser. Je veux aller pieds nus par les rouges sentiers / Que cuisent les flammes de midi / Je veux dormir ma sieste au pied des lourds manguiers / Je veux me réveiller / Lorsque là-bas mugit la sirène des blancs / Et que l'Usine / Sur l'océan des cannes / Comme un bateau ancré / Vomit dans la campagne son équipage nègre / Seigneur, je ne veux plus aller à leur école / Faites, je vous en prie, que je n'y aille plus. Ils racontent qu'il faut qu'un petit nègre y aille / Pour qu'il devienne pareil aux messieurs de la ville aux messieurs comme il faut. Mais moi je ne veux pas devenir, comme ils disent / Un monsieur de la ville, un monsieur comme il faut / Je préfère flâner le long des sucreries / Où sont les sacs repus que gonfle un sucre brun autant que ma peau brune / Je préfère vers l'heure où la lune amoureuse parle bas à l'oreille des cocotiers penchés / Ecouter ce que dit dans la nuit La voix cassée d'un vieux qui raconte en fumant / Les histoires de Zamba et de compère Lapin / Et bien d'autres choses encore qui ne sont pas dans les livres. Les nègres, vous le savez, n'ont que trop travaillé. Pourquoi faut-il de plus apprendre dans des livres qui nos parlent de choses qui ne sont point d'ici? Et puis elle est vraiment trop triste leur école / Triste comme / Ces messieurs de la ville / Ces messieurs comme il faut qui ne savent plus danser le soir au clair de lune / Qui ne savent plus marcher sur la chair de leur pieds / Qui ne savent plus conter les contes aux veillées / Seigneur, je ne veux plus aller à leur école.

Tempted 2 rush…

Said I'd never fall in It again / It usually comes 2 sweet 2 hard / Then go 2 quick leaving u 2 sad after / Crushing a world u didn't get time 2 build ● Seen It put on a disguise 2 inflict more pain / Seen It do whatever 2 lower my guard / Then have me question a character / I worked so hard 2 build ● Said I'd never fall in It again / But Life without It ain't Life / I dream It-I breathe It-I am It / So I heal the wounds and hope 4 Mo'Better ● The sun comes after the rain / And after the tries should come the wife / Ever wonder why EARTH has HEART in it / No need 2 question It - It should be its own answer ●

Azz big as the moon

Saw her smile / Felt a vibe / Checked her out quickly / Re-checked her out slowly / Eyes, smile, handz, feet / Ass 2 obviously fit / Didn't need 2 check 4 it / Felt a vibe I said / Timing was wrong / Feelings was right / Commited finger was wrong / Although Ring was alright / But hey, 2 wrongs still made it right / Loved that I felt a vibe / 4 seasons went by / Love was high / Hope eying for mo'better / Trust unfazed like a coroner / Then a vibe was felt / words quietly became lies / Actions slowly ripping ties / Emotions have been licked / Souls have been sucked / A vibe was felt I said / Heart has different beat now / Still that ish hurts now / Feelings crushed severely / Hate that vibe that was felt / But listen carefully / There's 2 sides 2 a story / Don't take mine 2 serious / Conclusion might be 2 vicious / Payback is her name / Mind chess is her game / She'd love 2 be rich / Might not, Payback is a ...

Just Say NO

Peace of mind is all I'm striving for right now / Lost a piece of mine and damn it hurts right now / Even my dreams won't let me rest right now / Stuck on size 9 day in and day out right now ● Feel like I need a straight-jacket right now / So many doubts Al-B-Sure looping on my IPod right now / Worst feeling in the world is Doubt right now / Went from David Banner - 2 Hulk right now ● Peace of mind is all I hope 4 right now / Lost a piece of mine and won't get it back right now / Haunting thoughts and dreams I'm a junkie 4 workload right now / Next step is 7ft away but it's so dark I can't see ish right now ● Pride myself as being like Kunta but I feel like Fiddler right now / Stood up 4 pride and freedom now I wish I was a slave again right now / Be shit ain't shit wish I was the shit feel like shit right now / Lost a piece that wasn't mine it's a fact right now ● ...cause if it was I wouldn't be losing a piece of mind right now.

Trick & Treats (the mirror effect)

Treat me like a King he said / She did it with her eyes closed but once opened she felt the mess / Treat me like a King he said / And the worthiest their story got the less attention he paid / Treat me like a King he said / She did even when in return she felt like less than a maid / Treat u like a King / But I'm standing next to u and can't feel like a Queen / Treat u like a King / E-Z 2 say when the more I play the more u win / Treat u like a King u said / I was your best friend or should I say my Man's best friend / Treat u like a King u said / So much a woman can take until she expedites the end / Treat u like a King u said / I did but by eating them treats u acted more like a dog / only fitted cause without an itch or leash next 2 u I felt like a bitch / Now u free, go learn some new tricks I'll continue 2 teach
