Giiie
Amore Salute
Yeah hein
1 2 3 4
Toutes à quatre pattes
Plus rien à battre
Là que pour abattre
Là que pour abattre

Plus rien à battre
Toutes à quatre pattes
1 2 3 4
Peppairr O'Mick
A du nouveau pour vous
Un peu trop dur pour eux même quand j'suis hyper doux
Un peu perdu mais... Je retrouve toujours le chemin des filets
Contouring au max mais je te trouve toujours aussi laide
Flow sur le game... La lumière est céleste
(Giiie)
Le soleil et Peppairr se lèvent à l'Est
Encore une démo pour montrer que j'suis à l'aise
Elle est skinny et son boule est balaise
Elle cache bien son jeu elle veut que je la WOUH
En diez 31 tu connais le diez
Zone Orteauxique voisin de saint blaise
En dehors du jeu en dehors du cercle
Poète disparu tu me retrouve si tu me cherches
Du liquide du liquide je dois sauver l'espèce
Aucun effort
Aucun effort
AUNCUN EFFORT
Je ne fais que suivre ma rime
Métisse est ma plume
Africo latine tu me fais de le peine tu t'exprimes comme Marine
Fais chier
FAIT CHIER
Tu dégoutes comme Jamie et Cersei
Double croix drogue auditive et tu décolles comme CR7
Les jeux sont fait rien ne va plus
Beaucoup de sorties mais rien ne m'a plu
J'suis trop occupé arrête de m'appeler
Sucer pour le succès laisse moi perdre la clé
Rap comme un sport téma l'athlète
Y'aura pas de nous deux me prends pas la tête
Est ce qu'il paraît le bonheur est dans le pré
Mais Asimbonanga m'a dit Johnny Claigh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah je reviens toujours frais
Yeah yeah yeah yeah je reviens toujours frais
Yeah yeah yeah yeah je reviens toujours frais
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Motherfucker Giiie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.O.D.'s "1 2 3 4" include a lot of wordplay and imagery, making it difficult to fully decipher the meaning behind the song. However, there are certain themes and messages that can be interpreted. The opening line, "Giiie Amore Salute," can be translated to "Giie Love Greetings," suggesting a message of love and unity. The rest of the lyrics are more cryptic and difficult to understand. The repeated phrase "Toutes à quatre pattes" means "all fours," which could be interpreted as a sexual reference or as symbolizing submission or being on one's knees. The rest of the lyrics contain references to navigating the rap game, finding one's way back after being lost, and rejecting materialism.

One possible interpretation of the song is that it critiques the rap industry and the ways in which artists can become consumed by their own egos and the trappings of fame. The repeated phrase "toutes à quatre pattes" suggests a posture of submission and servitude, which could symbolize the ways in which artists can become enslaved by the expectations and demands of the industry. The references to "liquide" and "sucer pour le succès" also suggest a sense of corruption and manipulation within the industry, where artists may be forced to compromise their values or engage in unsavory behavior in order to succeed. The repeated assertion of "aucun effort" ("no effort") could either be seen as a boastful claim of natural talent or as a critique of the ways in which artists may rely on gimmicks or superficial image-building rather than true artistic skill.
