Oulala Lyrics Meaning

[COUPLET 1]
In the first verse, Tisco reflects on the harsh realities of life in the streets. “Sacré Arthena” refers to something surprising or unexpected, possibly hinting at a dangerous or intense situation. The artist talks about no longer feeling nervous or anxious (“plus la boule au ventre”), but being aware that if something goes wrong (“bavure”), there are serious consequences. He highlights how things aren’t on sale anymore (“plus en promotion”), and the price for goods is high (“40 la pochette”), with people quickly jumping on opportunities (“il saute dessus”). Tisco then mentions Saint-Denis, a neighborhood known for its challenges, and describes a risky transaction where losing something valuable could have severe consequences (“si ça tombe sur ta bécane, c’est à tes périls”). He reminisces about a dream of becoming rich, which he later realizes was more of a prediction than a mere wish. The verse also touches on his persistence in sticking to his goals, despite obstacles. Tisco also comments on human nature, noting how people often forget past kindness once their immediate needs are not met.

[REFRAIN]
In the chorus, Tisco expresses his disillusionment with people around him. The repeated “Oulala” captures his frustration with human behavior, realizing that people are often unpredictable or crazy (“les gens sont fous”). He points out how people are never satisfied (“éternelle insatisfait”), always wanting more, no matter what they have. The need for money (“faut du papier”) is highlighted, showing that people are always hustling to make a living. Tisco contrasts himself with others, implying that some waste time talking and complaining (“babiller”) instead of focusing on what truly matters—money and progress.

[COUPLET 2]
In the second verse, Tisco discusses the street life, where things appear calm but there’s often an underlying danger or unpredictability (“dans la street, y’a zéro stress et paillette”). He talks about how when you start a project or ambition, it can give you motivation and energy, but over time, as you succeed and improve your life, others around you start to envy or resent you. He mentions running into stressful situations, but even when under pressure, he’s focused on his goals (“charbon, pile à l’heure, jamais en retard”). Paranoia creeps in as he faces the constant risk of betrayal or being set up (“pensé au traquenard”). Tisco prefers to observe a situation and confirm it himself rather than trust rumors or hearsay (“j’préfère le voir pour le croire”). He expresses a feeling of detachment from distractions and drama, cutting ties with a past relationship because he no longer has time for it (“j’ai tout coupé, parce que l’amour est dans l’pré”). The verse ends with a comment on the need for change and a shift in perspective, highlighting that staying true to his path is more important than indulging in empty talk or false promises.

[REFRAIN]
In the chorus, Tisco emphasizes again how people are never satisfied, always yearning for more. He expresses frustration with the way people act and how their greed leads them to neglect important things in life. The focus on “faut du papier” highlights the obsession with money, and how people are busy trying to make a living but often get distracted from what really matters. He contrasts himself with others who waste time and energy instead of making tangible progress.
