Sé pou nou pa janm dekourajé
Pa kité lajan fè nou sézi

Pou sa ouvri bouch nou dans la société
Depi ou pa enstwi ou limité
Gen on séri de sèk ou pap janm frekanté
Woy woy woy woy ou ya

The song L'Argent, by Ti Manno, is a powerful social commentary on the pitfalls of money and the negative impact it can have on individuals and society as a whole. The lyrics are a warning to young people to not be consumed by the obsession with acquiring wealth and material possessions. Ti Manno advocates for education and self-improvement as the most valuable ways to increase one's worth, rather than relying solely on money.
Ti Manno starts by acknowledging that as young people studying, they should never give up on their dreams in the face of material temptations. He cautions against allowing money to control and consume one's life to the point of neglecting education and self-improvement. He then identifies two paths to success: one is by accumulating wealth and the other is through education, with the latter being the better route. Ti Manno advises young people to stay in school, read books, and gain knowledge to open doors and thrive in society. If one is rich but not educated, then there are many sectors of society they will never be able to access.
The chorus of L'Argent reiterates the dangers of money and how it can lead people astray. Ti Manno sings about how it can make people do foolish things, lead them away from spirituality and morality, and have a negative impact on their mental health. He also points out how money can reinforce class inequalities and create divisions in society. The song ends with a repetition of the warning in the beginning to stay focused on education and not let money define one's worth.
