[Intro] Martial Pa’nucci
Yeah, Mwana Mayi zwa ! Arrrggghhh !
Hey, Yoka ! Hey !
 
[Verse 1] Martial Pa’nucci
I've lost sleep
Since my continent is being violeted  
While the world thinks we're all dead
I'm going on a road trip
 
For mine to wake up
For ours to awaken  
No truce, it's sink or swim  
This hour is grave
So my brothers and sisters will have to get up
This hour is for strike
The time is for indignation
So my fathers and my mothers aaahh we'll have to help each other
 
This is no time to be distracted
No traitors, the continent will no longer be milked
Like cows or beasts of burden
We've come to disturb everything
What did you think ?  
That we'd be on welfare forever ?
I come to insist
It's time to resist
Like our ancestors in an unknown land
We must survive, resist and exist!
 
[1st Hook] Martial Pa’nucci
Resist and exist !
To resist and to exist
To resist is to exist
To exist ? Ahhhhh to resist !
 
[1st Refrain] Martial Pa’nucci
Stand up (telema)
Get up (lamuka)
This hour is grave
This hour is for strike (strike)
 
My friend stand up (telema)
Ahh get up (lamuka)
This hour is for claim
This hour is for revolution (revolution)
 
[Verse 2] Kokayi
Follow me follow me
Add d up and they callin me ptolemy
Gdp to bdp easily A philosophy  
Foot on my neck and back
Crack the economy
 
Your greed leads to
Profiting off of me bodily
Tradi G rock for paper
Paper for planes
Villas in France
Bloody flutes sipping champaign
 
Greve is my nom de guerre
My enemies kin to me lawd j'spere
As you fly in your jets
Let them eat cake
Your systems all fake
Marionette
Marie Antoinette and I bet you
Pay the people a pittance
 
No penance you menace
What you did in the back rooms
Will never stay hidden
We see you
We people
We seek to unseat you
Until there's is one day
We all are equal No prequel
You evils We make you less regal
Even an eagle falls from the sky
To be true ! Blow !
 
[2nd Hook] Martial Pa’nucci
Resist and exist !
To resist and to exist
To resist is to exist
To exist ? Ahhhhh to resist !
 
[2nd Refrain] Martial Pa’nucci
Stand up (telema)
Get up (lamuka)
This hour is grave
This hour is for strike (strike)
 
My friend stand up (telema)
Ahh get up (lamuka)
This hour is for revolt
This hour is for revolution (revolution)
 
[Verse 3] Kokayi
Ahhh Revolution  
Hold your ground  
Everyone fights with what they have at their disposal  
All coups d'état are allowed ?
Who put us to sleep and who supplies weapons and ammunition ?
 
Babylon fall Babylon is geting crazy  
It controls us and leads us to destruction  
By the tens of thousands we're on our feet, dangerous and determined  
Our senses sharpened, we march into hostile territory, into minefields  
Chaka's blood in our genes  
Descendants of Nzinga, Samory's heir  
We will never be prisoners  
Let’s defend our honor like an army of samurai
 
They continue to rob us  
As if the slave trade had not been abolished  
Our generation is not rude  
We’re fed up from speacking with parables
From the shores of the Congo to the top of the pyramids  
Eagles fly over crows  
We are the Kemite squadron
 
We’re ready now and nothing can stop
No time for sleep
it's our turn to stay up
We grew up between the Madrassa and the university
No settler can fool us now !
 
[Hook] Martial Pa’nucci
Resist and exist !
To resist and to exist
To resist is to exist
To exist ? Ahhhhh to resist !
 
[Refrain] Martial Pa’nucci
