Action Man Lyrics – Pete, Bas Ganlyrics

Action Man Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
“Omelette du fromage” is a playful, random phrase, likely thrown in to add humor or style to the track. It has no direct connection to the rest of the lyrics but contributes to the quirky vibe of the song.

[Chorus: Pete & Bas]
In the chorus, Pete and Bas talk about living a lavish, tough life. They’re hanging out in a bar (“chin wag in a boozer”), quickly counting their money (“quick count of the mula”), and making it clear that if anyone disrespects them, they’ll handle it violently (“click bang with the Ruger”). They mention expensive tastes like jewelry and fancy brands (Tom Ford, Audemars) and show off their confidence and swagger. The line about “Aquafina” and “back the nina” suggests they’re both flashy and armed, ready for any confrontation, even over something as trivial as a malfunctioning toaster. Their lifestyle is all about power, wealth, and intimidation.

[Verse 1: Pete]
Pete raps about his criminal past and how he came back stronger after serving time (“slapped with a sentence, went down”). Now, he’s out for revenge and success, flaunting his newfound wealth and confidence. He’s wearing a silk-cut suit, puffing a cigarette, and attracting attention from women (“Sappenin’ ladies?”). He also references how he’ll punish someone who doesn’t pay their debts, comparing it to leaving a scar like the infamous Voldemort, signaling his ruthless nature.

[Verse 2: Bas]
Bas highlights his luxurious lifestyle. He boasts about his shiny jewelry (“VV’s in my necklace shining”), expensive watch, and drinking gin. He spends time with his wife, enjoying leisure in Spain by the pool, showing the wealthy side of his life. The mention of a “jumbo jet” and popping champagne adds to his image of flying high, both literally and metaphorically, emphasizing his success and extravagant experiences.

[Verse 3: Pete]
Pete talks about violence and protecting his territory. He’s prepared for conflict (“loading a clip then spray”), describing an aggressive reaction to anyone who threatens him. He mentions striking down a man without remorse and using his wealth as power (e.g., “put jewels on a Jesus pendant”). He makes it clear that if anyone tries to steal from him, they’ll face severe consequences, referencing how he’d wrap them up like illegal drügs to show how serious he is.

[Verse 4: Bas]
Bas shows his street hustle in this verse. He’s a “kitchen king,” meaning he’s in control of the cooking or drug game, using pots and pans metaphorically for his work. He’s making money by moving drügs (“trap line pings”), and he proudly compares his cooking (of drügs) to the precision and quality of a famous chef, Gordon Ramsay. The mention of “white” and “weed” points to his involvement in selling illicit substances, making money by any means necessary.

[Verse 5: Pete]
Pete describes how he’s careful and always under surveillance (“eyes on the block, CCTV”), indicating that he’s aware of the dangers in his world. He ships illegal goods (“ship packs like DPD”), making sure the singerities can’t catch him. He’s “cooling” with a drink, enjoying his success, and is fully aware of his status. He ends by saying that his fame and power make him irresistible to women, adding to his confident, superstar persona.

[Verse 6: Bas]
Bas maintains his tough guy image in this verse. He mentions driving a German car (“Whip German”) and smoking a Cuban cigar, both symbols of wealth and status. He warns that if someone doesn’t play their part or disrespects him, they’ll face violent consequences (“get shot like a movie star”). He maintains a cool demeanor, comparing himself to someone well-known for being smooth (“cool like Miss Davina”), and makes it clear that crossing him will result in serious trouble, beyond just minor punishments.

[Chorus: Pete & Bas]
The chorus repeats the theme of living a flashy, tough life, full of power and wealth. Pete and Bas count their money, flaunt their expensive tastes, and make it clear that they won’t tolerate disrespect. Their confidence is backed by the threat of violence (“click bang with the Ruger”), and they showcase their luxury items (like watches and necklaces) as symbols of their success. The mention of “Aquafina” (likely a reference to their clean, shiny style) and “back the nina” (armed with a gun) emphasizes their readiness for anything, even the smallest issues, like a malfunctioning toaster.
