Lyrics:

[MC Grint]
Listen to the rhythm, listen to the rhyme
Listen to the clock tick tock the hands of time
Ticking, tocking, constantly revolving
Listen to the problems of the world that need solving
Listen to the child crying in the crib
And listen to the sick act that daddy did
See daddy turned his back on all of his responsabilities
Listen how mommy copes to the best of her abilities
Listen to the cliche rapper that's bragging
Listen to the mother who is always nagging
Her son to get up and do something with his life
Listen to the vows when you're marrying your wife
Listen to the scream of a mother giving birth
Listen to the sorrow of our Mother Earth
Listen to the beggarman begging in the street
Please can you spare some change so I can get some food to eat
Listen to the plight of the homeless
And if you listen to the pessimists everything's hopeless
Listen to your heart, listen to your soul
Listen to your conscience, let it take control
And just listen

Listen...

[MC Solaar]
Écoute tomber les larmes d'une femme qu'on fait cocue
Écoute le consensus dans son entourage
Il était consciencieux quelle force et quel courage
Écoute...

[MC Grint]
Listen to the fascists looking for your vote
Listen how he gets some with a scapegoat
He sees your tears and plays on your fears
Till his promises become music to your ears

[MC Solaar]
Écoute le clic-clac d'une paire de menottes
[MC Grint]
Listen to the horrors my people saw
Listen to the politics of the gulf war
Place all the blame and name Hussein insane
Listen how he said two can play the same game

[MC Solaar]
