Lys Vert - Champagne Bruise Lyrics

[Intro]
Sirens wailing, bottles breaking
While we dance in Gucci, world's forsaking

[Verse 1]
Champagne dripping, while the streets are burning
Designer fits while my people yearning
Father's callused hands built this city's spine
While I'm popping bottles, feeling so damn fine
Split between two worlds, it tears me up inside
Fatima called me fake, maybe she was right

[Chorus]
Bruises on my soul, marks that never fade
Playing revolution while the real ones paid
Dancing through the fire, but I'm just a fraud
Trust fund rebellion, yeah, it's all facade
F*ck these plastic dreams, they don't mean a thing
When the world's on fire, and we just sing

[Verse 2]
Dad's hammer echoes through construction days
While I'm getting faded, lost in purple haze
Marie-Claire's tapes still haunting in my head
Mixed with police static, fills me up with dread
Caught between the club life and the street fight
Second-gen confusion, am I doing this right?

[Bridge]
Raï rhythms clash with sirens in the night
Cultural tourist in my own damn life
Excess ain't rebellion, just a pretty lie
While real warriors bleed under summer sky

[Outro]
Bottles keep popping, while the world burns down
Designer rebellion in this f*cked up town
Blood on the dancefloor, champagne in my veins
Playing revolution while nothing really changes
