Dehors c'est le bordel
Rouge Pompier Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je marche si tu me bloques
Je marche si tu me prives
Je marche si tu m'isoles, si tu divises
Je parle si tu m'ignores
Je parle si tu méprises
Je parle si tu me voles, si tu divises
Accorde-moi un instant
Dehors c'est le bordel

Y'a du sang dans la division
Pourquoi tu trouves ça drôle
Dehors c'est le bordel
Y'a du sang dans la division
Je saigne si tu fractionnes
Je saigne si tu découpes
Je saigne si tu sectionnes, si tu divises
Si ton peuple a des veines
Si ton peuple a un pouls
Si ton peuple a un cœur
C'est normal que t'aies d'la pression
Accorde-moi un instant
Dehors c'est le bordel
Y'a du sang dans la division
Pourquoi tu trouves ça drôle

Dehors c'est le bordel
Y'a du sang dans la division
