Rouler en Ferrari à Marbella ou à New York
Galess f bled nass, 3ad fel bocadillos

L'bled adios, hit khassa la moula
Donc je descends sur la ville, et je leur fais le coup du foulard
Gha n'risquer fel goma, fuck l'whisky w chômage
L'bled adios, l'howma ghi l'homaq

In Lartiste's song 7ARRAGA, he sings about his struggles and his aspirations to achieve success and leave his old life behind. In the first verse, he talks about his expensive fashion choices like Fendi and Christian Dior, and how he dreams of driving a Ferrari in Marbella or New York. He also mentions how he will leave his old life behind and says "l'bled adios" which means goodbye to the country. He plans to pull off a robbery and become rich, leaving behind his life of poverty and unemployment. The chorus of the song, "7arraga", which means "thief", portrays the idea that to be successful, one must take risks and do what it takes to achieve their goals.
The second verse talks about how Lartiste has witnessed kids climbing walls to look at the world and how the world doesn't care about them. He also talks about the struggles of not having enough food or shelter and seeing people turn to drugs to escape reality. He then sings about how he wants to move up in the world, gain people's trust, and impress the Spanish (perhaps a nod to the fact that Spain is close to Morocco, his home country). He also mentions his desire to return to his hometown to marry his love. However, he is haunted by his paranoia and is only comfortable with his cigarettes and books.
Overall, the song 7ARRAGA highlights the struggles of living in poverty and the lengths people go to escape it. Through his lyrics, Lartiste shows that he wants to become someone who is respected, someone who is seen, and someone who will never leave his past behind.
