Je n'ai qu'une philosophie
Être acceptée comme je suis
Malgré tout ce qu'on me dit
Je reste le poing levé
Pour le meilleur comme le pire
Je suis métisse mais pas martyre
J'avance le cœur léger
Mais toujours le poing levé

Lever la tête, bomber le torse
Sans cesse redoubler d'efforts
La vie ne m'en laisse pas le choix
Je suis l'as qui bat le roi
Malgré nos peines, nos différences
Et toutes ces injures incessantes
Moi je lèverai le poing
Encore plus haut, encore plus loin

Viser la Lune
Ça ne me fait pas peur
Même à l'usure
J'y crois encore et en cœur
Des sacrifices
S'il le faut j'en ferai
J'en ai déjà fait
Mais toujours le poing levé

Je ne suis pas comme toutes ces filles
Qu'on dévisage, qu'on déshabille
Moi j'ai des formes et des rondeurs
Ça sert à réchauffer les cœurs
Fille d'un quartier populaire
Qui a apprit à être fier
Bien plus d'amour que de misère
Bien plus de cœur que de pierre

Je n'ai qu'une philosophie
Être acceptée comme je suis
Avec la force et le sourire
Le poing levé vers l'avenir
Lever la tête, lever le torse
Sans cesse redoubler d'efforts
La vie ne m'en laisse pas le choix
Je suis l'as qui bat le roi

Viser la Lune
Ça ne me fait pas peur
Même à l'usure
J'y crois encore et en cœur
Des sacrifices
S'il le faut j'en ferai
J'en ai déjà fait
Mais toujours le poing levé

Viser la Lune
Ça ne me fait pas peur
Même à l'usure
J'y crois encore et en cœur
Des sacrifices
S'il le faut j'en ferai
J'en ai déjà fait
Mais toujours le poing levé

Viser la Lune
Ça ne me fait pas peur
Même à l'usure
J'y crois encore et en cœur
Des sacrifices
S'il le faut j'en ferai
J'en ai déjà fait
Mais toujours le poing levé
