Ca faisait quelques semaines que Lilly Allen nous mettait l'eau à la bouche avec Sheezus, tiré de l'album éponyme qui sortira le 5 mai prochain. Elle confiait en effet que le titre était son préféré de l'album et qu'elle espérait en faire le premier single. Malheureusement c'était sans compter les "bien-pensants"...
En effet, outre le côté down-tempo (qui n'est pas sans rappeler le style de MIA et qui participe bien à donner son identité au morceau et à appuyer l'ironie des paroles) la maison de disque a du écouter certaines des critiques que l'on a pu lire ici et là en Angleterre et aux Etats-Unis. La chanteuse s'arrêtait d'ailleurs sur la question lors d'une interview accordée à Rolling Stones.
It’s also got the word “period” in it, which is really offensive to
people, even though half the world has to deal with it once a month.
I think that “period” is going to be my “surfboard” with Beyoncé. People will wear sweatshirts to my concerts that are just going to say “period.”

Voilà voilà, certains censeurs s'intéressent aux vrais problèmes, plutôt rassurant... Quoi qu'il en soit, nous on aime particulièrement ce Sheezus, et pour le reste (Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, etc.) on t'a mis les paroles plus bas, et je pense qu'elles sont assez parlantes.
Les paroles de Sheezus
Been here before, so I'm prepared
Not gonna lie though, I'm kinda scared
Lace up my gloves, I'm going in
Don't let my kids watch me when I get in the ring
I'll take the hits, roll with the punches
I'll get back up, it's not as if I've never done this
But then again, the game is changing
Can't just come back, jump on the mic and do the same thing
There goes the bell, I know that sound
I guess it's time for me to go another round
Now wish me luck, I'm gonna need it
I'll see you on the other side, if I'm still breathing
RiRi isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring
Queen B's going back to the drawing
Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you
Kid ain't one to fuck with when she's only on her debut
We're all watching Gaga, L-O-L-O, ah-ha
Dying for the art so, really, she's a martyr
The second best will never cut it for the divas
Give me that crown, bitch
I wanna be Sheezus
I'm ready for all the comparisons
I think it's dumb and it's embarrassing
I'm switching off, no longer listening
I've had enough of persecution and conditioning
Maybe it's an instinct, we're only animal
Maybe it's healthy, maybe it's rational
It makes me angry, I'm serious
But then again, I'm just about to get my period
Periods, we all get periods
Every month, yo, that's what the theory is
It's human nature, another cycle
Be nice to me, I'll make you one of my disciples
RiRi isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring
Queen B's going back to the drawing
Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you
Kid ain't one to fuck with when she's only on her debut
We're all watching Gaga, L-O-L-O, ah-ha
Dying for the art so, really, she's a martyr
The second best will never cut it for the divas
Give me that crown, bitch
I wanna be Sheezus
I am born again, now run along and tell
All your friends to come and join us
Give yourselves to me, I am your leader
"Let me be Sheezus"
"Let me be Sheezus
