Soprano Lyrics

M'Baba de la flip et le con, dis-moi qui veut le casser
Du calme, les gars, c'est du rap élégant donc baissez les gants, hé
M'Baba, pas très "amuse-les", calme, t'es qu'à "suce-les", cinglés
Dur de m'épingler la tête pour m'étrangler, sanglots
Frime chez mes patients comme l'anglais fait des abdos
À la place des briques, des barres, je réplique, sors de nos bouches
Pour un large public, gavas, ma clique, qui sortent de (?)
Yeah, Sopra fait son one-man-show
Donc là tu comprends l'enjeu
Pourquoi Sopra rappe dangereux
Pour nos gars qui demeurent au fond d'un cachot
Pour les mythos love, quand les (?)
L'amour, faut qu'ils lavent l'amour dans nos raps
Tu sais, quand les crevards, creuse-tête dans la (?)
Mais faut savoir que la bombe venait d'(?)
Tu vois là pourquoi Sopra M'Baba s'en bat les couilles
Et pas pourtant, les rats qu'on base
Les rats qui veulent me mettre en bas comme par hasard
Cousine, les rats comme t'à l'heure, n'emballe pas
Me dit, "comprends que tes salades ne m'avalent pas"
Tous ceux qui aimaient les flics (motherfucker, motherfucker)
Tous ceux qui n'aiment pas notre crew (motherfucker, motherfucker)
Tous ceux qui n'aiment pas Sopra M'Baba (motherfucker, motherfucker)
(Yeah, Soprano, yeah, it's a one-man-show)
The lyrics in Soprano's song "One Man Show" convey a strong sense of defiance and self-assuredness. In the first verse, Soprano addresses the critics and haters who try to bring him down, portraying them as insignificant and misguided. He dismisses their attempts to attack him with elegant wordplay and a confident attitude, asserting his dominance in the rap game. The imagery of struggling to pin him down only to be met with his resilience and swagger paints a picture of someone who is unapologetically himself, unbothered by the noise around him.
Moving into the chorus, Soprano emphasizes the importance of his one-man show, highlighting the significance and danger of his rap. He acknowledges those who are confined to prison, contrasting them with the fake love and deceitful individuals who must cleanse themselves in the honesty of his lyrics. By acknowledging the harsh realities faced by some, Soprano underscores the power of his music to resonate with those who have experienced hardship and betrayal, making his art a form of empowerment and catharsis for them.
In the following verse, Soprano dismisses those who try to undermine him, particularly calling out the rats who seek to bring him down. He disregards their attempts to diminish his stature, asserting his confidence and indifference to their empty words. By refusing to engage with their negativity, Soprano maintains his focus on his artistry and the authenticity of his message, showing that he is unfazed by the attempts to derail him.
The repetition of the phrase "motherfucker" in the closing lines serves as a powerful declaration of defiance and rebellion against those who seek to diminish Soprano's success or impact. By boldly calling out those who do not support him, Soprano asserts his dominance and asserts his right to shine as a solo artist, delivering his "one-man show" with confidence and conviction. The chorus reiterates his resolve to stand tall in the face of adversity, showcasing his resilience and determination to succeed on his own terms.
