Fierte
Pride
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from
The ignorant people want my downfall
Like Django I stay in the saddle*
Far from being dead in the film, my colour remains on stage
If I don't return, it's because the past tied me up
Very proud of my roots, I mustn't engage with their hatred
Mum was a cleaner and her son didn't want to settle down
Nine (people) around a dish, we invite you to eat
On top of one another, big bed
I've seen brothers leave school at 18 dreaming of doing Political Science
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from
Turbulence, I get through the suffering
I want to stand up straight, people look at me sideways
Often like I'm lower than dirt, they expect a reward
I found the same strength in the really hard times
Rebellion and demonstrations, it doesn't mean much
Like your lawyer I pleaded my case
Accused like John Caffey but I pardon them
Handcuffed for X reason, so said by Malcom
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from
I've experienced poverty, mum dabbled with a broom
I release my covered heart, too proud to open it completely
I came to leave a mark on my time, I'll leave like Bob Marley
If silence is golden, 50 minutes to talk to them
Team BS with the team helping each other
I've found my path and I move forward with no sorrow
Dry your tears, come on I'm taking you away
All these colours, it's my team on stage
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from
And no matter what your skin colour is
No, my difference isn't a flaw
When the promises and the smiles sound false
I remember where I come from

Author's comments:
*I've seen some different lyrics to those here. Instead of 'Comme j'embaucherai Scorsese', it's 'Comme Django je reste en selle'. It definitely sounds more like that, and it makes more sense to what they're talking about as well.
