Armé jus de bagarre, bang bang bang, refais le game

charbon — coal / hustle
Charbon literally means "coal" in French. However, in the context of this song and French street slang, it takes on a much deeper meaning: "the hustle" or "grinding".
Booba uses charbon to describe the relentless, often illicit, work involved in making money on the streets. It evokes the image of hard, dirty labor, similar to working in a coal mine, but applied to the world of drug dealing and street life. This double meaning makes it a very interesting and central word to understand the song's theme.
