Introduction
O.B.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tout c'que j'en pense
Bonnet Blanc
Blanc Bonnet
Jamais rien qui change
Jusqu'à c'que 7 Gros Bonnets d'cancre
Fassent couler d'l'encre
Quand ils dévoilent c'qu'ils ont dans l'ventre
O.G.B!
Let's get down!
The lyrics of O.B.A.'s song Introduction depict the frustration and resignation of individuals who witness the perpetuation of a flawed system. The first few lines suggest that some people ask for the singer's opinion on certain matters, but regardless of his response, nothing changes. The phrase "Bonnet Blanc Blanc Bonnet" further emphasizes the idea of things staying the same, as it translates to "six of one, half a dozen of the other."
However, the lyrics take a more hopeful turn when the "7 Gros Bonnets d'cancre" are introduced. These seven leaders, referred to as the "Gros Bonnet Gang" or "O.G.B," are indicated to have the power to create change and stand up to the status quo. The mention of "dévoiler c'qu'ils ont dans l'ventre" suggests that these leaders have been holding back, but are now ready to share their true feelings and intentions. The call to "Let's get down!" implies that action is imminent and encourages listeners to join in the movement for change.
