Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
À tourner dans la street, yeah
J'tournais dans la cit'
Tous les gens le disent, yeah
Impossible d'être amovible, yeah
J'fais la diff', c'est la vie
J'suis l'avenir de ma ville, yeah
J'oublie qu'il faut qu'je fasse
Mon seille-o, que je trace
J'oublie mes bébés, ouais
Oh, la célébrité, j'oublie mes bébés
J'oublie qu'il faut qu'je fasse ces efforts là
J'oublie qu'il faut qu'je fasse ces efforts là
J'oublie mes bébés, ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
J'oublie, ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
J'oublie, ouais, ouais, ouais, j'le fais for you
J'oublie mes bébés
J'oublie mes bébés
J'oublie ouais, ouais, ouais, j'le fais for you
Accompagné de la miff'
Charbonne assez pour la miff'
Qu'on soit en Afrique ou à Nice
À travers le monde où j'habite
Un coup en Asie, à Tokyo, à Phuket s'il te plaît
Obligé je fais l'seille-o
Fuck la radio

The song "Babyphone" by KEKRA features the rapper discussing the challenges of fame and success. He opens with the line "Saoulé dans le vide" which translates to "drunk on emptiness" or "lost in the void". This sets the tone for the rest of the song. KEKRA is navigating his newfound fame and success which has him feeling disconnected from his own life. He spends his time "tournais dans la cit'" or wandering the city, feeling like he is going through the motions of his daily life without truly being present. However, he recognizes that he is making a difference and is "l'avenir de [sa] ville" or "the future of [his] city."
Despite this recognition, KEKRA admits that he sometimes forgets about his responsibilities, including taking care of his "bébés" or "babies." This could refer to his actual children or to the other important parts of his life that he feels he is neglecting due to his fame. He repeats the lines "J'oublie qu'il faut qu'je fasse/Mon seill-o, que je trace" meaning that he forgets that he needs to work and push forward towards his goals. KEKRA acknowledges that he is caught up in the allure of being a celebrity, but ultimately he is willing to put in the effort to achieve success.
Overall, "Babyphone" is a reflection on the duality of success: the rush and excitement of fame, but also the difficulties that come with it. KEKRA is taking the time to reflect on his journey and the role he plays in his community, while also acknowledging the sacrifices he has made in pursuit of his dreams.
