Hocus Pocus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aux sons qui claquent et qui t'accrochent rect-di,
On a peu de crédit,
Faut se serrer la ceinture que les disques s'épuisent,
Et donner ça pour que les Dj's puissent
Peter le son que le voisin grogne Yeah
Peter les watts que le voisin cogne Yeah
Quitte à ce que ça le soigne,
Fait pour casser les verres,
Fait pour tomber la chemise même si c'est l'hiver,
On And On parcequ'on taffe sept jours sur sept,
Sur skeud et avec HP notre set tourne sur scène,
Y'a aussi Coups 2 Cross, des Dj's toujours chauds pour la battle,
Des accros du vinyle qui font rarement dans la bagatelle,
On And On c'est que le commencement,
On n'en est qu'au lancement,
Du label, pourtant tu te dis : putain j'connais ce nom !
2.0 S Y L, j'ai déjà entendu ce type,
Et t'en auras pour ton argent, y'a même des bonus beats
On And On c'est ni strass, ni paillettes, ni stars, ni variet', ni stress, ni carrières
Prévues à l'avance,
On y va au jour le jour,
Et c'est mieux que le taf à l'usine,
Et si on te fait ner-tour notre son,
Après une taffe t'hallucines,
Le lendemain t'as les cernes,
Les joues creusées et t'as trop l'air junkie
Accro à notre son et pas à celui de Rodney Jerkins,
Non, on ne fait pas du son clean et aseptisé,
Si je kiffe du Timbaland, c'est que j'ai assez tisé,
Eh ! Dis moi Stop,
Avant que je me mettes au 2 Step,
Si je comate, alors mets moi vite une mix-tape,
Un truc Fat….pas du son dancefloor,
Un truc Fat….et puis annonce leur,
Qu'on fait ça pour le kif avant tout,
On se fout de ce qui fait vendre, tout en évitant les vautours,
On And On fait tout pour que les choses bougent vite,
Et pour que les gonzes fassent …Oh Shit !
The lyrics to Hocus Pocus's "On and On" talks about creating music for those who love break beats and catchy sounds that grab your attention. The artist addresses the struggle of being an independent musician who has to make ends meet while still making music that DJs can play and fans can enjoy. Despite the lack of fame and fortune, the artist emphasizes that they will continue to work hard and provide music that can help people release their emotions and dance the night away. The song talks about the beginning of their careers and the establishment of their label, 2.0 S Y L.
The verses also talk about their passion for creating music that is not too polished or generic. The artist mentions his appreciation of Timbaland's music, but acknowledges that he has to be careful not to get too wrapped up in the party scene. The goal of the song is to let fans know that Hocus Pocus creates music for the love of the art, not for fame or glory. The lyrics also challenge the idea that a successful career in music is something that can be planned, emphasizing that their career is built on taking it day by day.
