Ooh ooh ooh, yeah
Ooh ooh ooh

Si la zik était une go (une go)
J'lui aurai demander son phone
J'l'aurai séduite (j'l'aurai séduite)
Et j'aurai fini par me rend compte qu'elle jacte trop (qu'elle jacte trop)
Si la zik était une go (une go)
J'lui aurai demander son phone
J'l'aurai séduite (j'l'aurai séduite)
Et j'aurai fini par me rend compte qu'elle jacte trop (qu'elle jacte trop)

So listen to the sound of my voice
You better send him all my love
He's given me no choice, no, no, no
Listen to the sound of the boys, huh
A raggamuffin is a freedom fighter
He's handling a choice
And I know that if

Mon son est noir certes mais loin d'être un beau black
La gueule type du mec que les gos plaquent
La gueule type du mec que les autres taclent
Mais ça n'empêche pas d'traverser tous les obstacles

The raggamuffin is one of the friend
What you see is what you really get in the end
But what you're ever gonna, gonna do, I don't know
And the raggamuffin shall not fall down
'Cause she has the wisdom of a not fool around
But why did you have to leave the good sense on the ground, yes

J'te parle de musique parce que ça fait parti d'ma vie
Ça fait parti d'ma vie mais en même temps je m'en méfie
J'te jure que c'est la vérité, c'est la strict réalité
Cette putain d'zik m'a allaitait, faudrait qu'je songe à m'arêtter
Mais c'est difficile, là, là, j'suis en déficit
Ne dis pas qu'c'est facile si tu t'en détaches, fait moi signe
Je vis dans ma tête 24h sur 24
Et j'concocte des tubes de dingue en attendant l'Apogée
À la prochaine

Ma musique, je l'aime mais avec je vais pas me maquer
C'est qu'une infidèle, capricieuse, t'as pas remarquer
Elle passe de bouche en bouche, akhi, elle t'a peut-être smacker
T'as peut-être même claquer du biff, tous plaquer pour elle

The raggamuffin is one of the friend
What you see is what you really get in the end
But what you're ever gonna, gonna do, I don't know
And the raggamuffin shall not fall down
'Cause she has the wisdom of a not fool around
But why did you have to leave the good sense on the ground, yes

S.E.X.I.O.N., Miss Selah Sue
Elle aussi pourra te dire, ah ouais, parait qu'j'suis doué
Big-up à la musique qu'j'ai connu sans l'moindre sous (sous, sous, sous)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sexion's "Raggamuffin" are about the love-hate relationship between the music industry and the artists. The song starts with the artist talking about how if music were a woman, he would have asked for her phone number and seduced her. But with time, he would have realized that she talks too much, just like the industry, which promises a lot but eventually just uses artists. The song talks about the struggle of the artist to make a living but at the same time, he cannot let go of music, which has been his only true love. He warns of the music industry's fickleness, how it moves from one artist to another, leaving them behind, but the raggamuffin, the freedom fighter, perseveres.


In the second verse, the song talks about how the artist loves music, but he does not want to commit to it. He compares it to an infidel who goes from one person to another, yet people keep falling for it. He states that music has been his refuge and that he has spent his life creating music, but he cannot trust it, just like a tormented lover. In the end, the song concludes with Sexion saying that all they have is music, and he advises others not to play around with it.


Overall, "Raggamuffin" is a reflection of the complicated relationship between artists and the music industry. It explores the artist's love for music and their fear of being used by the industry, and how they are stuck between their passion and the need to make a living.
