L'Argent Appelle L'Argent
Pamelo Mounk'a Lyrics

The song "L'Argent Appelle L'Argent" by Pamelo Mounk'a is a commentary on the societal construct of wealth and its implication on the poor. The lyrics address the concept that money attracts money, and one can only borrow from the rich if they have money themselves. The repetition of the phrase, "Mbongo ekobenga mbongo" throughout the song reinforces this idea that one needs to have money to make money. The lyrics point out the unfairness of this system, where the rich get richer, and the poor struggle to make ends meet.

The song also highlights the struggles of those who aspire to become rich. The singer, who wants to become rich, tries to borrow money from the bank. However, the bank refuses to give him a loan because he does not have money, which presents a catch-22 scenario. The singer realizes that if he were already rich, he would not encounter this problem. This realization reinforces the idea that money attracts money.

The song's last verse suggests that the rich only associate with the rich, lending only to those who are wealthy. The lyrics imply that the rich are exclusive and do not want to be associated with those in poverty. The song's repetition of the phrase, "L'argent," emphasizes the importance of money in society and how it dictates who is in control and who is left behind.
