hoooooooooooooooo!
TEKI
OK on y va!
CUIZINIER
Scooter Booster 50cm³
Par terre tu saignes dans la glace t'es plus le même
Comment bien réussir à s'afficher dans une ruelle
TIDO
Mes enjolivers roulent sur tes jantes lavées au karsher.
Tu pleures tu tombes le ventre ouvert.
Je ne m'arrête pas pour toi car le compteur tourne.
C'est un engin à gros moteur il est fait d'or et de diamants
Dedans tu te sentirais comme Superman en costume
Mais c'est Tido Berman.
TEKI
Mitsubishi, Kawazaki, Pictionnary, le rap à Paris
C'est Monopoly, Géopardy, Hémoragie
Hooooooooo
Un véritable Hymne à la vie.
Coup de pied dans le Juke-Box style Fonzarelli.
REFRAIN x2
On a toujours tout fait en avance
On descend toujours à fond dans la ?
On aura toujours quelque chose à vendre
On ouvre le coffre du bus si tu ne peux pas attendre.
TEKI
Aprilia, Kamikaze, Akira, Paprika,
on est/aime/aie le monde comme "USA for Africa"
Michael Jackson, Kwinsi Jones,
Appuie
Sur le klaxon si je t'indispose
CUIZINIER
H2 escalade ma Cadillac, propreté de maniaque
T'as compris ce qu'a dit le Mac,
Habits de marque dans mon habitacle, habitable
pas minable le style de Cuiz glisse comme sur la patinoire
TIDO
Berline, limousine à bar remplie de clito
Turbine tuning, tu flippes
J'attire les bimbos sublimes
Pilotage automatique air conditionné
Jeune hôtesse fort sympathique
Cest Vroom Vroom hahaaaaaaaa
Zoom Zoom papaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Bouh bouh Braaaaah
Click Clack SixPack
Auto bo moto loto
Vla l'topo coco
C'est le mec en polo
Slow Mohooooo

Line by Line Meaning
Scooter Booster 50cm³
A type of scooter which can accelerate its back wheel for fun, but in doing so, one might fall and bleed. A technique to show off in a tight alley or lane.
Mes enjolivers roulent sur tes jantes lavées au karsher.
My wheels spin over your car's freshly washed rims. You stumble and fall, but I don't stop as my speed is my priority.
C'est un engin à gros moteur il est fait d'or et de diamants
This vehicle has a huge engine and is made of gold and diamond. People who ride this can feel like Superman wearing his costume, but it's really just Tido Berman.
Mitsubishi, Kawazaki, Pictionnary, le rap à Paris
Mitsubishi and Kawazaki are famous brands of vehicles. On the other hand, Pictionnary is a game and Paris is a place where rap music originated. A mixture of board games and music creating a lively atmosphere.

An H2 vehicle climbs over the artist's clean Cadillac. The car looks spotless, just as a person who has OCD would like it to be.
