Case Départ Lyrics in English Missy D

Home / Lyrics Translation / Missy D / Case Départ

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Case Départ by Missy D from French to English.

Well, we'll see then

You know, it's back to 1

Square one

You think they'll get it?

OK!

1 2 3, let's go, let's go

4 5 6, baby we got some biz

7 8 9, in my basket 10

That's the sound of my music

I count it up and enjoy it

1 2 3, let's go, let's go

4 5 6, baby we got some biz

7 8 9, in my basket 10

That's the sound of my music

I count it up and enjoy it

Hi, let me introduce myself

My name's Diane

Missy D amazes them

The little francophone

Goes back to the beginning

Yeah she does it straight up

In French, for the family, and for mom

Rom-com fanatic

Solaar baby love sounds

Poetic, she lathers

We slide on the melodies

I'm stepping out of my bubble today

Pandemic effect or nostalgia

I'm ready, on your marks

Square one

1 2 3, let's go, let's go

4 5 6, baby we got some biz

7 8 9, in my basket 10

That's the sound of my music

I count it up and enjoy it

Like Ouuu! Let me drop some French

And some English too!

I know you're ready to say

How are you?

Playing with the rhythm and following the groove

Hip Hop saved my life

In French it's big love

Madly, passionately, day by day

Every moment, the sound grabs me and carries me away

Signs me and tells my story

Once upon a time or back in the day

What you hear is my memory

The start of my story

That's Naughty by Nature

Old school adventure

You already know!

It's the rhythm that makes you nod

A triple triple French trip

Olympic style on stage

As fast as Usain Bolt

I dance to this melody

Jump like Gaby does

Serena, Naomi, poetic match point

From The Fifth Ace, in 2022

You're clear witnesses

I'm back to 1

1 2 3, let's go, let's go

4 5 6, baby we got some biz

7 8 9, in my basket 10

That's the sound of my music

I count it up and enjoy it

1 2 3, let's go, let's go

4 5 6, baby we got some biz

7 8 9, in my basket 10

That's the sound of my music

1,2,3,4,5,6

7, 8, 9,10

Back to 1, back to 1, back to 1

It goes

1,2,3,4,5,6

7, 8, 9,10

Back to 1, square one

Back to 1

It goes

1, 2,3

4,5,6 baby

7, 8, 9

And 10, baby

1 2 3, let's go, let's go

4 5 6, baby we got some biz

7 8 9, in my basket 10

That's the sound of my music

I count it up and enjoy it

1 2 3, let's go, let's go

4 5 6, baby we got some biz

7 8 9, in my basket 10

That's the sound of my music

I count it up and enjoy it

Diane, back to 1, square one

SONG MEANING

Case Départ is Missy D’s vibrant countdown to a fresh beginning. By repeatedly chanting “1 2 3… 7 8 9, dans mon panier 10,” the Vancouver-based, French-speaking rapper plays with the idea of hitting the reset button — going back to square one to reclaim her roots, her family, and her joy in music. The bouncy numbers feel like hopscotch on a city sidewalk, while her bilingual verses glide between French charm and English swagger, proving that language is just another beat she can ride.

The lyrics read like a personal mixtape: shout-outs to classic hip-hop (“Naughty by Nature”), nods to French rap legend MC Solaar, pandemic introspection, and Olympic-level wordplay that sprints alongside Usain Bolt. Underneath the playful counting is a message of resilience — no matter how many times life sends you back to the starting square, flip the board, drop the beat, and profit from the moment. The result is an addictive anthem that invites you to clap, groove, and maybe practice a little French while you’re at it.
