Zongo le Dozo
Pute
Pute
2.7
J'ai vu des ombres avec des crocs
Un faux frère qui te dit qu'il est ton bro'
Je le jure sur la schneck à Griselda Blanco
Si ça part en couilles, on s'en bats les glaouis
On te fume à l'enterrement de ton meilleur ami
Casque intégral à la Dark Vador
Tu feras pas de vieux os comme Squeletor
Alors pourquoi tu m'invites si y a rien à fumer?
Si tu veux pas twerker, je vais t'annuler
Ils veulent des "J'aime", ils veulent être adulés
Moi je vais les enculer la lumière allumée
Tu connais la loi, Sinaloa
Je parle pas chinois, pas de konnichiwa
La Guardia fait des gros plans sur Nador
Je serais hardcore jusqu'à la mort de mon corps
Baby, baby, baby, remets tes collants
Je vais devenir insolent
Ton uc' a plus tourné que mon volant
Je préfère me ler-bran et garder mon argent
Les liasses parlent d'elles mêmes
Pas besoin de dire: "je t'aime"
Je viens d'en bas, si j'apporte des fleurs c'est que c'est pour la mama
Je vais me faire serrer en train de tous les bouillave comme un lapin
Sur ce terrain je suis le début donc je serais la fin
Dans le quartier on veut jouer au foot, on veut tous ter-chan
Beaucoup plus seront convoqués par le juge que par Deschamps
C'est la crise, quoi qu'ils en disent
Je fais mon biz, je fais mon biz, je fais mon biz
Les hommes transitent comme des marchandises
La vie est dure et je te la dépeins
Normal, elle veut un mec dé-blin
Y a des chiennes parce qu'il y a des chiens
Je veux faire du wali, je veux faire du bambou
Je me suis trompé bitch mais tu vas kiffer même si c'est pas le bon trou
Je les enterre, je les enterre, je les enterre
Si tu n'es pas mon frère, ces vieilles embrouilles c'est pas ma guerre
2.7
Je me fais les dents comme un jeune louveteau
Tu crois que je suis ton petit, c'est que t'as tout faux
Je ne suis que de passage, ceci c'est qu'une épreuve
On sait la vérité même si tu trafiques les preuves
On te tombe dessus à 1000, tu joues le gladiateur
Ils vont te ramasser avec un aspirateur
Je pense avec ma bite, pas de problèmes de cœur
Toujours partant pour caillasser l'inspecteur
The lyrics of Kaaris's song "Chaos" depict a raw and gritty portrayal of the rapper's experiences and observations of life. The opening lines, "Zongo, Zongo le Dozo, Pute, Pute, 2.7," are repetitive, provocative phrases that set the tone for the rest of the song. They can be interpreted as calling out certain individuals or groups.
The lyrics continue to depict a harsh reality where Kaaris describes encountering shadows with fangs, symbolizing deceitful people who pretend to be friends. He emphasizes the animalistic behavior and living conditions behind closed enclosures, highlighting a sense of confinement and innate survival instincts. Kaaris references Griselda Blanco, a notorious Colombian drug lord, swearing on her "schneck" (slang for nose) to emphasize the sincerity of his words.
The lyrics also explore themes of violence and revenge. Kaaris expresses indifference to the consequences of escalating situations, stating that they don't care about the chaos they create. He mentions wearing a full face helmet like Darth Vader, suggesting a desire to remain anonymous while inflicting harm. The references to characters such as Squeletor and Dark Vador add layers of pop culture imagery to his depiction of a ruthless persona.
The second verse delves into a combination of street life and personal relationships. Kaaris asserts that he comes from a lower social background and doesn't need to verbalize love because the stacks of money he earns speak for themselves. He presents himself as someone who has experienced struggle, implying that buying flowers is a luxury and not a necessity. He acknowledges the harsh realities of life, stating that more people are summoned by the judge than called up by the national football team manager, referring to the frequent involvement of individuals from his neighborhood in legal troubles.
The chorus reflects the ongoing crisis and struggles, emphasizing the notion that men come and go like merchandise. It paints a picture of a tough life and suggests that women engage in certain behaviors because there are men who act like dogs. This line can be seen as a commentary on the cycle of toxic relationships and the influence of societal norms.
Overall, "Chaos" showcases Kaaris's streetwise perspective, addressing themes like deception, violence, survival, and the harshness of life in a provocative and confrontational manner.
