Ok I've been on a kick of French rap lately. But I've been looking mostly for stuff that has meaning and significance--I'm biased to stuff bringing up political tension, and discrimination against Arabs and blacks, for instance. I listen mostly to a group called Sniper, though I'm starting to branch out a bit. Sniper's comprised of 3 people: Aketo, Tunisiano, and Blacko (formerly "Black Renega"). There used to be a fourth, DJ Boudji.
Anyway, here's one song by Sniper off their last album. Unfortunately, I don't have the translation, but you should check out the music video nonetheless off of YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4ofR3q5jvA
It brings up the riots in 2005 and a lot of the sentiment surrounding them. The song's title is Brûle (Burn) off the album Trait pour Trait. KF
Sniper - Brûle
Tunisiano & Aketo:
Parce que quand on grimpe ils nous freinent
parce qu'au fond ils nous craignent
parce qu'au jt ils nous saignent
parce que la coupe devient pleine
car le sang bouille dans nos veines
car il faut briser les chaînes
on aimerait qu'ils nous comprennent
ils auront le feu car ils ont semé la haine
Tunisiano:
Bienvenue en banlieue où les daronnes sont dans la tourmente
Pas d'tournantes, juste deux, trois tests comme plaques tournantes
Où ici tout s'vend, tous mentent, tous s'vantent de vouloir devenir millionnaire
Avant de dépasser les 30 balais, grands ou gringalets
Les armes ont la hargne qu'il fallait et l'plan épargne dans l'matelat
Té-ma, les ptits ont faim, ont des crampes à l'estomac,
Et pour arriver à leur fin, ils iraient même jusqu'à t'tromatt'
Et rate pas ton coup, gratte pas les gens,
Assisté des temps modernes et voleur par tous les temps
Grand les ptits bossent, pé-ta puis ils bougent,
Expert en toss-toss, qui tend pas la main au feu rouge
Et y a les pistolet à eau et les gros berretas
Comme y a les soirées ghetto et puis les soirées Guetta,
Tout la coupe à Olmetta, des crampons, un grand pont,
Y'a la loi de no mer-ta devant les shtar ferme la grand con
T'as la frousse, donc tu tousses, tu t'expliques,
Ferme la couz' les keufs connaissent l'odeur d'ma bitte
J'habite où j'ai grandi, au quartier pas d'MJ,
Peu d'bittes, trop d'MC, trop d'PD d'la PJ
Oui les reuf on réagi face au propos outrancier
Un crime impuni la gazeuze dans une mosquée
Funérailles oboské engrenage dramatique
Effet boule de neige photo matraquage médiatique
Il parle de karcher divise la France en 2
Sarko t'offre un lavage à l'éléphant bleu,
Mais ce qui est malheureux c'est que l'on brûle le peu qu'on a
Alors qu'il suffirait de voter pour incendier ses connards
[Chorus]
Blacko:
Brûle, Brûle, Babylone brûle, j'veux t'entendre crier, faut qu'tu hurles
Que la chaleur fasse fondre les barreaux des cellules
Qu'elle incinère ton système qui part en testicule
Brûle, Brûle, Babylone brûle, j'veux t'entendre crier, faut qu'tu hurles
Tu dis qu'on avance mais en fin d'compte on recule,
Un morceau lance-flamme pour la jeunesse qui t'en...
Blacko:
Plus je grandis plus je vois que tout va de travers
En fait on vient sur cette Terre pour pouvoir nous la mettre à l'envers
Babylone mon flow est un virus dans tes programmes
Qui désinstalle, qui nique et puis tout crame
Que personne n'abandonne rempli de vibes trop bonne
Man, j'ai sorti my weapon donne moi des balles comme dirai jaguar gorgone
Je viens foutre le faya je crache des flammes comme un dragon
Nique le système ils auront le feu car ils ont semé la haine
Qu'on les brûle qu'on les pende ou qu'on les jette dans la seine
La jeunesse du ghetto a de la rage qui coule dans les veines
Faut briser les chaînes
L'esclavage mentale est modernisé
Vous nous marchez sur la gueule vous nous méprisez
Man t'étonne pas si ta caisse est carbonisée
Peu importe qui c'est senti visé.
[Chorus]
Aketo:
Jeune issu de l'immigration comme ils aiment tant le rappeler
Ca fait 30 ans qui font que parler d'intégration je me sens pas français
Forcé de constater que l'on c'est pas du refus c'est juste un fait
J'ai vu je sais que le fossé se creuse
De plus en plus tous ces mytho font leurs beuz
Sur l'insécurité jouent sur la peur des gens ?
N'hésite pas a draguer électoral tu grondes
Va y je sens que l'histoire se répète j'entends
Parler du rôle positif de la France durant
Les colonies putain c'est quoi ces conneries
Quand nos pères étaient utiles et productifs ils étaient bons pour ce pays
Ok mais quand leurs fils crient vengeance
Ils sont bons pour leur pays d'origine la France
Un pays régi par des irresponsables qui multiplient les maladresses
Et se demandent pas pourquoi jt'agresse j'm'adresse
Face au premier flic un mec timide qui nie les faits
Salit la mémoire des victime qui met
De l'huile sur le feu comportement indigne
C'est prétentieux, trop ambitieux qui va nettoyer qui?
[Chorus]

Strange Fire, Indigo Girls... it's a change of pace for me. ^_^
I come to you with strange fire, I make an offering of love, the incense of my soil is burned by the fire in my blood. I come with a softer answer to the questions that lie in your path. I want to harbor you from the anger, find a refuge from the wrath.
This is a message of love. Love that moves from the inside out, love that never grows tired. I come to you with strange fire.
Mercenaries of the shrine, who are you to speak for god? With haughty eyes and lying tongues and hands that shed innocent blood. Who delivered you the power to interpret calvary? You gamble away our freedom to gain your own authority.
Find another state of mind. Grab hold. Strange fire burns with the motion of love.
When you learn to love yourself, you will dissolve all the stones that are cast, you will learn to burn the icing sky and to melt the waxen mask. Yes, to have the gift of true release, this is a peace that will take you higher. I come to you with my offering. I bring you strange fire.

Over the last week or so I've been stuck on this one... I do love A23...
Ground - Assemblage 23
Be still
Though chaos rains around you now
Only so much rain can fall at once
Breathe in
And let the air envelope you
And slow but sure, serenity will come
CH
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns around
Stand up
Though circumstance has knocked you down
There is nothing gained by staying within it's reach
Take strength
In every failure you endure
Our mistakes have many lessons they can teach
(CH)
Destroy
These walls you've built around yourself
You can't take another step until they're gone
Move out
No use in dwelling in the past
Bid farewell to all your fears and carry on
(CH)

In This Twilight by Nine Inch Nails
watch the sun,
as it crawls across a final time
and it feels like,
like it was a friend.
it is watching us,
and the world we set on fire
do you wonder,
if it feels the same?
and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as your time is running out
let me take away your doubt
you can find a better a place
in this twilight
dust to dust,
ashes in your hair remind me
what it feels like
and I won't feel again
night descends
could I have been a better person
if I could only do it all again
but the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
and the longing that you feel
you know none of this real
you will find a better a place
in this twilight

Reviving the song of the moment thread with some cricket spirit...
Theme for the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies
CHORUS:
Play, in this beautiful game
Where the rules and aim
Remain the same
It's the game of love unity
Play, in this beautiful game
Where the rules and aim
Will never change
It's the game of love unity
Sending out invitations all over the world
Every race, every class, every man, every girl
Whether near, whether far, come and join in the fun
(Oh na na na)
This is it, one big game that you cannot miss
No matter who you are - everyone's on the list
This is the game of life and we all are one
(So come along)
CHORUS
We run the place
We set the pace
We lead the chase
Everybody participate and…
No time to waste
Lift up the pace and celebrate
It's our obligation
We fascinate,
we captivate
Your mind, your heart, soul and
Rhythm of the nation
We play, we play
We feel the game
Come on, come on
Let me see you gyrate
Bring along all your friends, and tell them join in
Cause this game never ends, once it begins
We will spread peace and love
For eternity
All your worries and stress, let them all go
We won't settle for less, cause we're all MELLO
Bring your heart and your soul and set your mind free
CHORUS
We will rejoice
And sound our voice
Cause we are one together
L.O.V.E. and unity,
Forever

Graveyard Disciples by Black Label Society
Graveyard disciples march into the fields
Existence through destruction
The bodies beneath the wheels
The trip into the black
Life's dying fall
Born to pull the trigger
Fuel to feed the hate
Innocence is shattered
The blood that cripples the hand of fate
The trip into the black
Life's dying fall
The trip into the black
Life's dying fall
Graveyard disciples march into the fields
Existence through destruction
The bodies beneath the wheels
The trip into the black
Life's dying fall
Born to pull the trigger
Fuel to feed the hate
Innocence is shattered
The blood that cripples the hand of fate
The trip into the black
Life's dying fall
The trip into the black
Life's dying fall

It's Don an' Reev like you see, in the West Indies

He's goin' for the wicket, but I'm already swingin'
So watch the wicket-keeper, I'm goin' for the runs
Two run, four run, six run, RUN!
Two run, four run, six run, RUN!
Battin', bowlin', hittin', winnin',

I'm talkin' about the wonderful sport of playin' cricket
Two run, four run, six run, RUN!
Battin', bowlin', hittin', winnin',
Two run, four run, six run, RUN!
I'm talkin' about the wonderful sport of playin' cricket

Zero-Sum by Nine Inch Nails
They're starting to open up the sky
They're starting to reach down through
And it feels like we're living in that split-second
Of a car crash
And time is slowing down
And if we only had a little more time
And this time
Is all there is
Do you remember the time we
And all the times we
And should have
And were going to
I know
And I know you remember
How we could justify it all
And we knew better
In our hearts we knew better
And we told ourselves it didn't matter
And we chose to continue
And none of that matters anymore
In the hour of our twilight
And soon it will be all said and done
And we will all be back together as one
If we will continue at all
Shame on us
Doomed from the start
May God have mercy
On our dirty little hearts
Shame on us
For all we've done
And all we ever were
Just zeros and ones
And you never get away
And you never get to take the easy way
And all of this is a consequence
Brought on by our own hand
If you believe in that sort of thing
And did you ever really find
When you closed your eyes
Any place that was still
And at peace
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
As the light starts to fade
That you are the reason
That I am not afraid
And I guess I just wanted to mention
As the heavens will fall
We will be together soon if we
Will be anything at all
Shame on us
Doomed from the start
May God have mercy
On our dirty little hearts
Shame on us
For all we've done
And all we ever were
Just zeros and ones

Let me bring you an island song...
From an island...
Called Manhattan...
Zombie Jamboree
Performed by Rockapella
It was a zombie jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery
Oh, it was a zombie jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery
Zombies from all parts of the island
Some of them are great Calypsonians
Since the season was carnival
They got together in bacchanal
And they were singing
-CHORUS-
Back to back, ghoul, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, oh oh oh, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
One female zombie she wouldn't behave
See how's she's dancing out of the grave
In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
The other hand is knocking a conga drum
You know the lead singer starts to make his rhyme
While the other zombie is rockin' in time
One bystander, he had this to say
"It was a trip to see the zombies break away"
Shah! And they were singing
-CHORUS-
And they were singing
-CHORUS-
Hey hey, back to back, everyone we sing, back to back
And belly to belly then back to back
One two three four
Hey, what a zombie jamboree
From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
Uptown, downtown zombie jamboree
Whoa whoa whoa, yeah yeah
There's a high-wire zombie 'tween the World Trades
A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
The zombies who call the city home
Hah, what they do, huh
-CHORUS-
And they were singing
-CHORUS-
I need the chorus
-CHORUS-
Back to back, hey
-CHORUS-
Sing the chorus
-CHORUS-
Do the limbo
-CHORUS-
One more time, yeah
Back to back

Took place in the New York cemetery
Zombies from all parts of the island
Some of them are great Calypsonians
Since the season was carnival
They got together in bacchanal
And they were singing
-CHORUS-
Back to back, ghoul, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back, oh oh oh, belly to belly
It's a zombie jamboree
One female zombie she wouldn't behave
See how's she's dancing out of the grave
In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
The other hand is knocking a conga drum
You know the lead singer starts to make his rhyme
While the other zombie is rockin' in time
One bystander, he had this to say
"It was a trip to see the zombies break away"
Shah! And they were singing
-CHORUS-
And they were singing
-CHORUS-
Hey hey, back to back, everyone we sing, back to back
And belly to belly then back to back
One two three four
Hey, what a zombie jamboree
From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
Uptown, downtown zombie jamboree
Whoa whoa whoa, yeah yeah
There's a high-wire zombie 'tween the World Trades
A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
The zombies who call the city home
Hah, what they do, huh
-CHORUS-
And they were singing
-CHORUS-
I need the chorus
-CHORUS-
Back to back, hey
-CHORUS-
Sing the chorus
-CHORUS-
Do the limbo
-CHORUS-
One more time, yeah
Back to back

The Warning by Nine Inch Nails
Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
You've become a virus
That's killing off its host
We've been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self importance, and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard her cry
We've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky

You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean

Reviving this thread because I miss it 
Glassjaw by Systematic
It never threw me like this
ignored
A head buried in the sand
to retort.
If it ever came down
To be a man
Or break my fall
Peel back the skin again
So I know.
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.
A head case
I can't refrain
All of my flaws
Rebound
Or rationalize
Just to stall
Well, I'm well aware
And I think you care
From your easy chair
Remission is all
that I can't afford.
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was
And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out
And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.

And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was

and now for the song of the moment....the heat of the moment!
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
{chorus}
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You cant concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragons wings
{chorus}
And when your looks are gone and youre alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well
{chorus x2}

Crawl Through Knives by In Flames
The blackhole, forever mine,
I need the fear push me out.
Be brave, show me signs,
Should I feel shame
for the questions that I have...
If you, could be, the things I need.
I'll crawl through knives an inch per tear
These knees, they bleed for you.
let the colour persuade the hate that you fear.
feed the lie, force the reason,
leave me in doubt, need some motivation
It's in my hands,
the sky is so bright its burning
It's for me to decide...
If Flames will reach heaven tonight,
It's in my hands.
Nailed to the floor, paralyzed
Emotions drifting, touch the new
Could be, the things I need.
I'll crawl through knives an inch per tear
These knees, they bleed for you.
let the colour persuade the hate that you fear.
It's in my hands,
the sky is so bright its burning
It's for me to decide...
If Flames will reach heaven tonight,
It's in my hands.
It's in my hands.
It's in my hands.
It's in my hands.

LIVE! LIVE! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!! *ahem*
Down by 311
Chill light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix congratulations
We've changed a lot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now
I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely cause i told you so
You know we glow because we throw sunrays
We be freaky and we wanna stay
We've changed a lot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now
Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Cuz we're dope kid change like a chameleon and the
Channel whenever that wack show real world is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique,311 in LA
We've changed a lot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down-and
We've changed a lot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you
Then just let me do it now

Oh my. I heard this on Weekend Radio this afternoon while driving. It was hilarious. There's this man, Tom Lehrer, and he's done a small repertoire of parodies and such from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Outside of doing music, he's a math lecturer.
This is Fight Fiercely, Harvard. Imagine it done in a sort of cultivated drawl.
Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill.
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless we have the will.
How we will celebrate our victory,
We shall invite the whole team up for tea. (How jolly!)
Hurl that spheroid down the field,
And fight, fight, fight!
Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Impress them with our prowess, do!
Oh, fellas, do not let the crimson down,
Be of stout heart and true.
Come on, chaps, fight for Harvard's glorious name!
Won't it be peachy if we win the game? (Oh, goody!)
Let's try not to injure them,
But fight, fight, fight!
Let's not be rough, though!
Fight, fight, fight!
And do fight fiercely!
Fight, fight, fight!
