Canardo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je rap pour l'oseille
Je rap pour les mecs posés au fond de la boite sans teille
Pour les cas soc' pour les têtes cramées
Ceux qui roulent en Clio ceux qui portent des chromés
Poumons encrassés sous contrôle judiciaire
Je rap pour tous ceux qui se douchent avec leur bracelet
Moi c'est CANARDO. Remballe ton KIMONO
Hamdoulah ça va, mes couilles se portent bien
Tu veux me fumer viens mais mec je suis pas ton tabac
C'est pour MADSON et BABA
Ceux qui font l'oseille en espérant rendre un jour
heureux la MAMMA
Nuage de fumée dans la caisse
Je tousse encrée dans la tess'
Tu veux du biff' t'auras du stress avec
Pas pour les mitos ceux qui parlent de DUBAI
Ceux qui finissent toujours leurs phrases par WHALLAH
C'est pour les mecs des terres
Qui n'ont pas froid aux yeux
Qui rêvent de faire péter le million avant qu'on les enterrent.
Ouais c'est le rap des quartiers, le rap des soldats
Qui visent le sommet
Partant d'en Bas!
C'est pour les mecs des terres
Qui n'ont pas froid aux yeux
Qui rêvent de faire péter le million avant qu'on les enterrent.
Ouais c'est le rap des quartiers, le rap des soldats
Qui visent le sommet
Partant d'en Bas!
Yeah
Je rap pour les voyous pas pour les gentils
Mon rap est trop black donc je le blanchis
Planque la came dans les panneaux de portes
Je passe par la fenêtre si t'ouvre pas la porte
MAis rien ne m'arrête mec
Je mets des PV sur le pare-brise des MC
Je tue leur rap procède aux autopsie
Ton rap a la diarrhée le mien de bons anticorps
Ton rap est trop vieux rechercher par les antiquaires
Je rap pour les vrais, je rap pour les puristes
Ceux qui niquent leur mailles aux grecs
mais pas chez le fleuriste
Je vise le sommet toi tu veux ma chute
Quand tu grimpe a la colline moi j'arrive en parachute
Je rap pour l'Afrique mais aussi pour les îles
Je rap pour tous les quartiers qui sont difficiles
Je me fait pas de soucis man le flow glisse
Mon numéro le 0666 appel moi Iblis!
C'est pour les mecs des terres
Qui n'ont pas froid aux yeux
Qui rêvent de faire péter le million avant qu'on les enterrent.
Ouais c'est le rap des quartiers, le rap des soldats
Qui visent le sommet
Partant d'en Bas!
C'est pour les mecs des terres

The lyrics of Canardo's song "Iblis" are a tribute to the rap game and the lifestyle of the "streets." The first stanza emphasizes that the song is meant for the ears of those who appreciate the genre and those who are hustling their way to success. Canardo mentions the people who are struggling in society, driving a Clio, and wearing chrome. These are the people he aims to represent in his music, those who suffer from addiction and live under judicial control. Canardo is sending a message of hope to these people, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles, and they have a voice in his music. He calls out to his friends Madson and Baba, who are in the game to make money for their mothers, and to the people who dream of making it big before they are buried.
In the second stanza, Canardo continues to pay tribute to the streets, focusing more on the rap game itself. He raps about the dangers of the life he leads, but nothing can stop him from pursuing his dreams. He claims that his rap is too "black," so he has to "whiten" it up. He puts drugs in the door panels of his car, and if someone doesn't open the door, he'll just climb in through the window. Canardo compares his rap to others in the game, calling his opponents' lyrics "diarrhea" and "antiquated." He calls out to his African and island supporters and emphasizes that he is here to represent for all the challenging neighborhoods. He proclaims that his flow is unstoppable, and he even gives his phone number at the end of the song.
