Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quel que soit le manque de gibier dans la foret le lion ne broutera jamais de l'herbe
Désormais on m'appelle tonton Adjoumani VENOM LE CASCADEUR D'AFRIQUE
Il faut avoir du talent pour s'appeler Bebi Philippe.
Et c'est parce que mon ami Amessan est talentueux que son père lui a donné ce nom.
ogrodjidjidji!!!! RESPECT
aujourd'hui ca va plus chez toi et tout le monde se fou de toi
Même ceux qui te suivais là
mais sache que tout ce que Dieu fait est bon la souffrance est un conseil
Même si ça ne va plus chez toi ne te décourage pas
Même si les autres te neglige tu reste mon ami
The lyrics of DJ Venom's "Respect" are in French, and they address the issue of respect. The song begins by stating that no matter how scarce the prey in a forest may be, a lion will never graze on grass. This is a metaphor for self-respect; the lion is proud and does not compromise its nature to fit in with those around it. The artist then introduces himself as "Tonton Adjoumani Venom, the stuntman of Africa," reinforcing his pride in his identity and work. The next line mentions the importance of talent, as it takes talent to be called Bebi Philippe. The name was given to the artist's friend Amessan by his father because of his talent.
The chorus of the song is a shoutout to respect, punctuated with the word "ogrodjidjidji." The next verse talks about how things may not be going well for someone but they should not lose hope or give up, and that even if others are ignoring them, they are still valued by the artist as a friend.
Overall, the lyrics of "Respect" emphasize the importance of self-respect and pride in one's identity and talents, as well as the value of friendship and not giving up in the face of adversity.
