Paroles et traduction Taktika feat. 83 - Ground Zero

Ground Zero

Hey yo c'est l'8-3, un nouveau chapitre
C'est pour le passé, on l'fait au présent et pour le futur
Hey yo 2Faces
Explicit, l'infini
Yeah, ah
O-N-Z-E, check ça

Retourner dans le passé, c'est certain qu'j'y ai pensé
Perdu dans mes pensées, trop de choses que j'voudrais changer
J'voudrais juste oublier les blessures qu'on ne m'a pas pansées
Comment commencer? Tu sais comment c'est
Les remords, les regrets, ça j't'en ai déjà parlé
Y a mes torts que j'ai faits, en fait ça j'veux l'oublier
C'est sûr, c'est plus facile à dire qu'à exécuter
Well anyway, j'ai pas vraiment l'choix, j'peux pas l'éviter
Léviter, en haut des nuages j'veux y retourner
Méditer tous les moments où j'ai chaviré
J'espère que j'ai laissé ma trace et que j'ai inspiré
Du moins, j'ai au moins essayé, j'oserais espérer
Les années ont passé, les chemins se sont croisés
D'autres se sont séparés, jamais on aurait pensé
Que ça dure aussi longtemps en parlant d'une épopée
O-N-Z-E toujours le maire dans son comté

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better

Ground zero, comme les tours à NYC
Quand le cœur des hommes devient vide et se noirci
Quand nos différences deviennent plus fortes que nos ressemblances
Donne-moi un 16 bars, on efface et on recommence
Éduquons le Québec, et on en fera un peuple fort
Donne-moi une feuille vierge, on fera du monde une œuvre d'art
Égalité et justice redeviendront les règles d'or
On continuera d'y croire même quand l'espoir est presque mort
On changera le casting, le peuple comme tête d'affiche
Moins d'élus qui rivalisent, plus de citoyens actifs
Moins d'vérité qu'on maquille, plus de gens dans les manifs
Moins d'décisions faciles, plus de futur dans le planning
On fera ce qui faut pour inverser la pyramide
Et si comme Lennon on donnait vie à Imagine
Force et honneur à tous les rêveurs qui agissent
Un jour pour toutes ces guerres, y restera que les cicatrices

J'embraye en marche arrière, le continuum espace-temps
Mon rap, c'est du plutonium, viens qu'on voyage un instant
J'pull un Biff Tannen, là où j't'amène y a pas de douanes
J'jack ta Dolorean, tu veux ma photo, banane?
Dans mon rétroviseur, les souvenirs souvent trompeurs
Plus près du coeur qu'ils ne le paraissent, pèse l'accélérateur
88 miles à l'heure pour m'enfuir de mes peurs
De mon ombre, de mes rêves, seul au siège conducteur
J'évite les pièges qui mènent droit au système correctionnel
Hémophile émotionnel au potentiel criminel
Facile de feindre le bonheur dans une photo d'profil
Mais de s'regarder en face, ça c'est plus difficile
Quand j'pense à tous les passagers qui ont partagé ma route
Le fil d'arrivée j'le redoute, la vie a ravagé mes troupes
On porte fièrement l'étendard, code barres sur la nuque
Quelque part sur la Terre, quelqu'un comprend mon truc

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better

Tout détruire pour recommencer à zéro
Page blanche, livre dont vous êtes le héro (If only I knew better)
Retour au sommet, c'qu'on vise c'est un sans faute
Ground Zero

Donne-moi une seule chance et le monde on le reconstruira
Donne-moi une mission, le peuple lui on l'instruira
Donne-moi six albums, et l'Québec on l'inspirera
Taktika, dans la légende on s'inscrira
Donne-moi une machine à remonter l'temps, j'saurais quoi faire avec
Rejoins Manu en 2015 avant qui pèse sur la gâchette
Pis je rejoins Pagail, avant qui épouse la mort
Lui dire avant d'quitter la vie, laisse-y une dernière chance d'abord

Donne-moi un stage, et on ralliera les foules
Donne-moi 20 ans dans le Game, on redéfinira les rules
Donne-moi un huit et un trois, on créera un monstre légendaire
Donne-moi deux filles et un gars, pour eux j'virai l'monde à l'envers
Donne-moi une carte, j'ferai disparaître les frontières
Donne-moi un bar ou un stade, et j'mettrai le feu en concert
Donne-nous des épreuves et on en fera des leçons de vie
Le passé est dead, notre futur on l'a reconstruit

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better

Ground Zero

Hey yo, it's 8-3, a new chapter
This is for the past, we do it in the present and for the future
Hey yo 2Faces
Explicit, infinity
Yeah, ah
O-N-Z-E, check this out

Going back to the past, I've certainly thought about it
Lost in my thoughts, too many things I'd like to change
I just want to forget the wounds that haven't healed
How to start? You know how it is
Remorse, regrets, I've already told you about that
There are my wrongs that I've done, actually I want to forget that
For sure, it's easier said than done
Well anyway, I don't really have a choice, I can't avoid it
Avoid it, I want to go back up to the clouds
Meditate on all the moments when I capsized
I hope I left my mark and inspired
At least, I at least tried, I would dare to hope
The years have passed, paths have crossed
Others have separated, we would never have thought
That it would last this long, speaking of an epic
O-N-Z-E always the mayor in his county

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better

Ground zero, like the towers in NYC
When the hearts of men become empty and blackened
When our differences become stronger than our similarities
Give me a 16 bars, we erase and start over
Let's educate Quebec, and we'll make it a strong people
Give me a blank sheet, we'll make the world a work of art
Equality and justice will become the golden rules again
We will continue to believe in it even when hope is almost dead
We will change the casting, the people as the headliner
Less elected officials competing, more active citizens
Less truth that we cover up, more people in the demonstrations
Less easy decisions, more future in the planning
We will do what it takes to reverse the pyramid
And what if, like Lennon, we brought Imagine to life
Strength and honor to all the dreamers who act
One day for all these wars, only scars will remain

I shift into reverse, the space-time continuum
My rap is plutonium, come on, let's travel for a moment
I pull a Biff Tannen, where I'm taking you there are no customs
I jack your DeLorean, do you want my picture, banana?
In my rearview mirror, memories are often deceptive
Closer to the heart than they appear, step on the gas
88 miles per hour to escape my fears
From my shadow, from my dreams, alone in the driver's seat
I avoid the traps that lead straight to the correctional system
Emotional hemophiliac with criminal potential
It's easy to feign happiness in a profile picture
But to look at yourself in the face, that's more difficult
When I think of all the passengers who have shared my road
I dread the finish line, life has ravaged my troops
We proudly carry the banner, barcode on the neck
Somewhere on Earth, someone understands my thing

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better

Destroy everything to start from scratch
Blank page, a book where you are the hero (If only I knew better)
Back to the top, what we aim for is a perfect score
Ground Zero

Give me one chance and we will rebuild the world
Give me a mission, we will educate the people
Give me six albums, and we will inspire Quebec
Taktika, we will be written in legend
Give me a time machine, I'd know what to do with it
Join Manu in 2015 before he pulls the trigger
And I join Pagail, before he embraces death
Tell him before he leaves life, give it one last chance first

Give me a stage, and we will rally the crowds
Give me 20 years in the Game, we will redefine the rules
Give me an eight and a three, we will create a legendary monster
Give me two girls and a boy, for them I will turn the world upside down
Give me a map, I will make borders disappear
Give me a bar or a stadium, and I'll set it on fire in concert
Give us trials and we will turn them into life lessons
The past is dead, we have rebuilt our future

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better

If only I could, go back in time, in time my friend
I would make this a better place
(I will make this a better place)
If only I had the right words to say to you when you felt lost
Well, maybe you'd be still here with me
Still here with me, still here with me
If only I knew better
