You cry we die
You smile we fly
We are family
Digital Donkeys
Your tears are running down our cheeks
We are the Digital Donkeys
You laugh loudly through our lips
You are a Digital Donkey
We leave the same footprint in the streets
We are the Digital Donkeys
The bond we feel is what this music seals
You are a Digital Donkey

You don’t know me
Cause you don’t have bucks
You’ll never be a part of my world
Money is my girlfriend friend
It sounds like a religion to me
My money is a queen
Spending is the basis of my dreams
I only share my breakfast
With my black fox
Then I look at the window
The sun is shining on my yacht
Money is my girlfriend
I don’t wanna let her go
Money is my best friend
We have so much in common
I’m gonna jump in my private jet
It’s my wallet’s birthday
I got my own table at the Fouquet’s
Booked for the year
And then we will spend some time
In one of my flat in Paris
All night long
I will make love with my money
Money is my girlfriend friend
It sounds like a religion to me
My money is a queen
Spending is the basis of my dreams
I want the best for my money
No bullshit, no bling bling
No need no more racing car
No need no more flat screen
All I wanna buy next time
Is at least a fucking island
Or let me think about it
How about buying a constellation ?
Nothing smells like her
Nothing shines like she does
My money is a queen
The biggest expenses
Is what she deserves
Pity that to dream
You need to be tired
It’s time for me to speed kid
I have so much to splash out
I got cash in my wallet
I got savings in my bank
I got gold in my cellar
I got stocks in wall street
I don’t waste my time dreaming anymore
I choose and I buy, I live what I want
Money is my girlfriend
It sounds like a religion to me
My money is a queen
Spending is the basis of my dreams

NIP IT IN THE BUD
04:34
|
|||
|
Fight fire with fire
When it's raining cats and drugs
There's no time like the present
No if's, and's or but's
This time I will nip it in the bud
I'm a crackhead
And I really would like to become straight
I wanna go back to the drawing board
Cause at this stage of the game
I have no choice anymore
I knock it off or I kick the bucket
I slept on it cause this time
I will nip it in the bud
I'm a dealer
Thanks to junkies, thanks to druggies
I make quick bucks
But I know one of these days
Someone's gonna smack
My fucking bottom
It would be full speed ahead
If I could leave this business
Face to face with this trouble
I will nip it in the bud
We don’t, we don’t, we don’t
We don't wanna pass away
Whatever the torture
Every life is a treasure
I'm fed up, my life is trash (got no cash)
Before you judge me
Just lend an ear to the facts
I know it's not your fault
But I'm not born with a silver spoon in mouth
Ok, for you it is a lame excuse
So tell me why I live in the streets
Ok, don't push the panic button
I say it once again
I know it is not your fault buddy
Please hear me, please waste me
Or fuck it, never mind kid
I'll nip it in the bud, yo
We don’t, we don’t, we don’t
We don't wanna pass away
Whatever the torture
Every life is a treasure
Don't pretend you don't hear it
Don't pretend you cannot see it
Life gives you a new chance
Don’t turn that away
You never know when the end
Will take the baton
Maybe one of these days
It will be too late

DEAR FEAR
03:49
|

|
Since you showed me who you are
I found myself crying
You keep terrorising me
I still don't fucking know why
You better know I'll fight ya
I 'll break ya
You won't go further
What should I say ?
During all these years
I put my fingers in my ears
All the things you have done to me
And I didn't wanna see
These things that made me
Someone who's not free
I have cast my eye over you
I should have earlier understood
You kill me slowly
Because of you I can't breath
What should I say ?
During all these years
I put my fingers in my ears
All the things you have done to me
And I didn't wanna see
You protect me from the inside
You avoid my meeting with my rights
You protect me from the inside
Cause of you my mind is going blind
I’ll never let you do this again
I’ll never let you do this again
To be alive, I'm gonna jump into the fire
To see the light, I'm gonna dive into the dark
To fly, I'll keep my feet on the ground
To laugh, I'm just gonna start to cry
To take care of someone else
First I'm gonna love myself
To protect the world, I will save flowers
To exist in the universe
I'm gonna come after the others
Can you hear me my fear ?
It is the time to disappear
To talk with God, everything will be forgiven
Since you showed me who you are
I find myself living

Get ready for the donkeys march
Just dare to drop your fucking jacked life

But, could you tell me for which benefits ?
Whatever you think you hit
Every time you lose
Get ready, join us on the donkeys march
Get ready, join us on the donkeys march

QUAKE LIKE
03:26

Quake like, my life's a death match
GTA like, old fag, always online
Welcome to the world of virtual reality
You can keep yours with this hypocrisy
Quake like, team on death match
Time has come, strike them up, level up
Hail to the great sharing community
We will show you who's the boss of Vice City
In your world
Bankers have got the big fucker gun
Money is the XP, sorry for your ranking
But it seems you're not the king of the hill
If this life is a game
And we have to play a free for all
I'll stay away from keyboard
Cause it would be a fucking Mickey Mouse
We are all brothers and not bots
Can't you see those who gank us ?
Now show me your best shot
Tell me where I could find rezzers
For my own life
Cause I feel it freeze for a while
No possibility to craft
I've got no rail gun to fight
Pretending it's all about security
All they always want is to make money
Like a call of duty, this is time for unity
Anonymous, pirate party, noobs
All together bro, all together bro
All together brothers
So wake up, wake up, Mr Freeman
Wake up, wake up or smell the ashes
Total blackout time has come
Can't you see our lashes ?
Quake like, my life's a death match
GTA like, old fag, always online
Welcome to the world of virtual reality
You can keep yours with this hypocrisy
Quake like, team on death match
Time has come, strike them up, level up
Hail to the great sharing community
We will show you who's the boss of Vice City
If this life is a game
And we have to play a free for all
I'll stay away from keyboard
Cause it would be a fucking Mickey Mouse
We are all brothers and not bots
Can't you see those who gank us ?
Now show me your best shot
Do it, doom it, kick it, do it, but do it right
Do it, doom it, kick it, do we have to fight ?
In my open world, this fucking great reality
No place for cheaters, puritan conformity
Do it, doom it, kick it, do it, but do it right
Do it, doom it, kick it, we are ready to fight
Bam, headshot, finish him
On fire with your own best fatality

WHITE COLLAR REBELLION
04:03
|

|
Sometimes it’s hard but it’s true
No matter if you duck the issue
Somehow it works without you
So how do you feel ?
You see what they're getting at
Sometimes it’s hard to go through
Those things coming out of the blue
Somehow soon they won’t need you
So how do you feel ?
You see what they're getting at
Come on, come on,
Don’t bury your head in the sand
Go on, go on, go on at yourself, all in vain
Resign before it’s too late
Don’t let them make a fool of you
Sometimes it’s hard but it’s true
No matter what they tell you
Somehow they want to sack you
So how do you feel ?
You see what they're getting at
Sometimes you wish they’d spare you
But deep down you know it’s true
Somehow it works without you
So how do you feel ?
You see what they're getting at
Come on, come on,
Don’t bury your head in the sand
Go on, go on, go on at yourself, all in vain
Resign before it’s too late
Don’t let them make a fool of you
Don't you think it is the right time to quit buddy ?
Every day you work hard but it tastes yukky
Look at your bosses who make megabucks
Look at your face which is really like a mugshot
Open your eyes
You're just a fucking paper pusher
How long you’re gonna still work for peanuts ?
It stinks, don't you think ?
And if it makes you wanna throw up
Just rule your fears and for the rest psych it up
Sometimes it’s hard but it’s true
No matter if you duck the issue
Somehow it works without you
So how do you feel ?
You see what they're getting at
Come on, come on,
Don’t bury your head in the sand
Go on, go on, go on at yourself, all in vain
Resign before it’s too late
Don’t let them make a fool of you

NOW IS THE NEW FUTURE
04:26
|
|||
|
Present is the most important
Don't think about the future
Fuck the past
Just figure out how to get on with your life
There's no perfect time to wake up
There's no perfect age to get up
Don't listen to your brain
Just try to feel things from yourself
No matter what they think about ya
Nobody else but you
Can be in touch
With your heart
Take care of it
And escape from the jungle
To stay alive, Bro
Open your mind, yo
Whatever you dream about
Is the reason you have to fight for
Don't be afraid by the length of the way
No matter what’s the price to pay
Be fully aware how you‘re lucky today
The choice to build your dream is made
It's not the present
That makes you sad, dude
Your prospect for the future
Makes you mad, understood
Didn't you catch it ?
Your future doesn't exist
If you don't wanna move your ass
At the moment things won't happen
You wanna be a painter ? paint
You wanna be a singer ? sing
You wanna act ? you wanna dance ?
You're an entertainer or something else ?
Whatever you think are
Believe it, feel it, do it cause
Whatever you dream about
Is the reason you have to fight for
Don't be afraid by the length of the way
No matter what’s the price to pay
Be fully aware how you‘re lucky today
The choice to build your dream is made
Let your obstacles behind ya
Don't you feel wings growing on your back ?
Just remember
Whatever you dream about
Is the reason you have to fight for
Don't be afraid by the length of the way
No matter what’s the price to pay
Be fully aware how you‘re lucky today
The choice to build your dream is made

Let me guess
These last days were a bit complicated
And you need a fucking break ?
If this last week did something bad
Which hurt you
You'll do something to hurt it back, yo

You have to watch
This weekend like a hack
Everything is so fancy when you look around
Tonight queens and kings are taking a ride

You just took a last look
At yourself in the mirror
You're clean as a whistle
You've got style and you know it
You're ready to go out with your click
Yeah, once again, with all your friends
You'll set the dance floor on fire
Show everyone who's the boss
Move your body on the tracks
You're a real sight for sore eyes
This party is your enthrone
Cause you're a fucking midnight hero
You're a real sight for sore eyes
Fucking midnight heroes
Everything is so fancy when you look around
Tonight queens and kings are taking a ride
This time don't you feel it is your turn to shine ?
Party is at its peak
You and your buddies are joined at the hip
The die has been cast
You and your group have class
Keep on dancing to the beat, yeah
That's it everybody, go ballistic, yeah
Queens and kings are in the house
So let's all be some midnight heroes
You're a real sight for sore eyes
Fucking midnight heroes
Lets all be midnight heroes
Everything is so fancy tonight
Queens and kings are taking a ride
Don't you feel it is your turn to shine ?

Everything is so fancy when you look around

This time don't you feel it is your turn to shine ?
Let's all be midnight heroes

KYOTO JOKE
04:02
|

|
Kyoto, I remain skeptical over such a world
Which rest on just simple verbal vow
I Know, you can still fight alone
While most of people
Don’t give a damn about it
Should I show the example ?
Who’s in the mood to laugh ?
Are you ? Just tell me how ?
You, smart guy, enlighten me like a splash
Don’t you want a big car ?
Don’t you prefer big baths ?
So do I
However, some have to come first
Who the fuck is this dick
Who is about to do it ?
Perish the thought of setting an example
Here’s the vision of life from a common guy
I’ll give you a peace of my mind
Keeping Nature alive, just kiss it goodbye
I’m the kid your world warns you about
It’s the truth and you know it
The earth is our mother and so on and so on
And we are her bitches
If we go straight to disaster
I'd rather go there with my H3 Hummer
My neighbours preach
For their damn kitchen garden
But, money doesn't grow on trees
Inglorious bastards
Stop showing off with your dirty pit toilets
I like to sit on gold
When I take a dump from the bullet
Who the fuck is this dick
Who wanna go green ?
Perish the thought of setting an example
Here’s the vision of life from a common guy
I’ll give you a peace of my mind
Keeping Nature alive, just kiss it goodbye
I’m the kid your world warns you about
Who the fuck is this dick
Who is about to do it ?
Who the fuck is this dick
Who wanna go green ?
Here’s the vision of life from a common guy
I’ll give you a peace of my mind
Keeping Nature alive, just kiss it goodbye
I’m the kid your world warns you about
