Identity

Intro Yeah let's educate the uneducated real quick Checking passports because you're losing on the pitch Listen to the science listen to the facts let's go Verse 1 The Numbers & The Soil You talk a lot of trash but you can't face the math Looking at the Les Bleus roster trying to block our path Out of 26 men wearing that jersey proud 23 born in France screaming it out loud The other 3 raised up under the very same flag But you bitter rivals love to sit around and brag Trying check a passport trying to check the skin Just a salty excuse Because you know we always win Black white or yellow yeah the colors don't divide We all stand together with the country on our side If you're born on the soil then you represent the crest Whether Paris or Madrid yeah we claim it with the best Chorus It’s about the soil it's about where you stand You can’t rewrite the roots of a self made man We bring the glory home while you look for a flaw We bleed the same color yeah we laying down the law Verse 2 Let's talk about identity the box you try to make Go look at your history your boundaries are fake Take a trip across the water go visit the old ground They don't see a local they see a foreign sound And if a British couple moves away to Jamaica's shore The child is Jamaican by the birth and the law But you judge by the pigment you blind to the truth If we run a DNA test we all share the same root Africa's the cradle yeah the deep genetic trace So sit your logic down before you talk about a race Chorus It’s about the soil it's about where you stand You can’t rewrite the roots of a self-made man We bring the glory home while you look for a flaw We bleed the same color yeah we laying down the law Verse 3 Even look at great Zidane the genius of the game Marseille streets raised him gave power to his name Born in La Castellane but you haters want to start Saying Marseille ain't France trying to tear the map apart Like the Paris Dakar rally when the drivers cross the line Commentators calling it an African city design Clueless morons on the mic yeah you failed the history post Marseille gave the name to the anthem we love most And we stand as a family despite the color or the skin Like the Foreign Legion yeah we fight until we win A brotherhood of soldiers unbreakable and tough When the Bleus step on the pitch you know your time is up Chorus It’s about the soil it's about where you stand You can’t rewrite the roots of a self-made man We bring the glory home while you look for a flaw We bleed the same color yeah we laying down the law Outro So keep your internet chat keep your basic opinions We keep lifting the trophies while you stay as the minions
