Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
J'm'inquiète pour moi seul et ma money
J'veux toi et du whisky, babe tu m'connais
Ces niggas aiment faire comme si ils nous connaissent
Fumer toute cette weed comme si j'étais Marley
J'm'inquiète pour moi seul et ma money
Chez toi y'a du whisky, babe tu m'connais
Ces niggas aiment faire comme si ils nous connaissent
Juste envie de vivre jusqu'au maximum (oh yeah)
Fumer toute cette weed nous rend fucked up (oh yeah)
Baby toute cette tise nous rend fucked up (ouh)
Deux meufs dans un coupé d'luxe (yah)
Tous les soirs, on est sur Vénus
Baby, mets toi bien sur mon pénis
Sors le gas avec honneur
Roule un blunt avec honneur
RIP my nigga Marley
J'fume ça comme si j'étais Marley
J'en veux un dès le matin
J'aime quand tu touches tes cheveux châtains
Vas-y molo sur le sapin
Tu vas t'noyer dans les draps en satin
J'sors le gas avec honneur
Si t'as des grosses fesses, j'fais un close-up
Donne pas ton cœur, j'suis un voleur
J'veux un seul p'tit moment de bonheur (yeah, yah)
Fumer toute cette weed comme si j'étais Marley
J'm'inquiète pour moi seul et ma money
J'veux toi et du whisky, babe tu m'connais
Ces niggas aiment faire comme si ils nous connaissent
Fumer toute cette weed comme si j'étais Marley
J'm'inquiète pour moi seul et ma money
Chez toi y'a du whisky, babe tu m'connais
Ces niggas aiment faire comme si ils nous connaissent
Juste envie de vivre une page in love
Juste envie de vivre jusqu'au maximum (oh yeah)
Fumer toute cette weed nous rend fucked up (oh yeah)
Baby toute cette tise nous rend fucked up
In the song "Marley" by Hamza, the lyrics convey a sense of indulgence and escapism as the singer compares himself to the legendary reggae icon Bob Marley, suggesting that smoking weed is a way for him to feel free and detached from his worries. The mention of worrying only about himself and his money reflects a self-centered mindset, and the desire for his partner and whiskey indicates a longing for pleasure and companionship. The line "Ces niggas aiment faire comme si ils nous connaissent" ("These guys like to act like they know us") could be referencing fake friends or people who pretend to be close but are ultimately insincere.
The repetition of smoking weed like Marley and the emphasis on worries about himself and his money create a theme of self-indulgence and hedonism. The singer seeks temporary relief from his troubles through substances and relationships, showing a desire for momentary happiness and escape from reality. The contrast between wanting a carefree love story and indulging in intoxicants like weed and alcohol reflects a conflicted mindset of seeking both emotional connection and numbing pleasures.
The reference to being with two women in a luxury car and spending nights on Venus suggests a glamorous and extravagant lifestyle. The casual mention of sexual encounters and material pleasures, combined with the reverence for smoking weed in honor of Marley, portrays a character who is immersed in a hedonistic world of excess and pleasure. The explicit language and boastful tone also hint at a sense of bravado and confidence in living life on one's terms, no matter how reckless or self-destructive it may seem.
Overall, "Marley" by Hamza captures a complex mix of themes including escapism, self-indulgence, materialism, and the quest for happiness in fleeting moments. The lyrics depict a character who is caught between a desire for genuine connection and a hedonistic lifestyle fueled by substances and fleeting pleasures. The repeated references to smoking weed like Marley serve as a symbol of rebellion and freedom, while also highlighting the singer's struggles with authenticity, relationships, and self-worth in a world where appearances and superficiality often reign supreme.
