Verse 1

Félix Pyat, add an A after Oliviers

Hand cupped, I've already put in the tobacco

Torn between static hash or a fat weed joint

Arrows on the walls and a kid bringing in customers

I'm from where they yell 'Akha', not 'five-oh'

A few enemies taking long naps

With a tracker, we find where they are

You miss the deadlines, we fine you

And the fines get settled with a big motorbike

Problems get settled, our hash fries your brain cells

I've seen b*tches acting like big shots

Who end up with tears on their cheekbones, huh

And the clown wants the reins

You want war, do you have enough euros?

It's not blood that runs in my veins

I emptied the bottle, I've got too many worries

Prechorus 1

I'll rip out your tongue, turn it seven times

It's the Mafia, you see us everywhere

If you owe us, we even take bank transfers

They sleep in the cellar, all the cartridges

Belvedere, I'm settled in, I'm making moves, this b*tch wants to cling to me

I pistol-whip, I spin the cylinder, I grind, I do like Vianey

Chorus 1

Two, three b*tches, their a*ses out

We smoke the hash, we let ourselves go

Boom, boom, Olivia Valère

You know the bill is gonna be steep

Chorus 2

Two, three b*tches, their a*ses out

We smoke the hash, we let ourselves go

Boom, boom, Olivia Valère

You know the bill is gonna be steep

The bill is gonna be steep

Verse 2

We blow through cash, the jealous ones talk behind my back

The idiots of the day, I wreck them at night

There's no luck in illegal business

You're scared, I can feel it, when it fires, it echoes

You've got nothing, not even gas, I cash in from January to December

She's a real b*tch, but she plays the dirty girl

There are deals, enough for ten bags of haze

Huh, huh, stains

That won't wash out, it's not housework

I burned through six joints, I'm wrecked

I'm way too high, she's sucking me off in the spa

She wants the richest, not the strongest

You can't afford to own it, watch yourself

Prechorus 2

I'll rip out your tongue, turn it seven times

It's the Mafia, you see us everywhere

If you owe us, we even take bank transfers

They sleep in the cellar, all the cartridges

Belvedere, I'm settled in

I'm making moves, this b*tch wants to cling to me

I pistol-whip, I spin the cylinder

I grind, I do like Vianey

Chorus 3

Two, three b*tches, their a*ses out

We smoke the hash, we let ourselves go

Boom, boom, Olivia Valère

You know the bill is gonna be steep

Chorus 4

Two, three b*tches, their a*ses out

We smoke the hash, we let ourselves go

Boom, boom, Olivia Valère

You know the bill is gonna be steep

barillet — cylinder (of a revolver)

Barillet literally translates to "cylinder" or "drum" of a revolver. It's a specific and somewhat uncommon word in everyday French, making it stand out.

In the context of the song, the phrase "j'tourne le barillet" (I turn the cylinder) evokes imagery of preparing a firearm, suggesting a readiness for conflict or a dangerous situation. This makes the word intriguing and hints at the song's gritty themes.

Lagui opens by naming home before anything else: "Félix Pyat, rajoute A après Oliviers" (Félix Pyat, add an A after Oliviers). Those are the Félix Pyat and Oliviers A estates in Marseille's north, and the verses stay there. The mafia talk is delivered like accounting. Debts get chased by tracker, fines get settled by motorbike, and the punchline to the threats is a banking joke: "Si tu dois, on prend même virement SEPA" (if you owe us, we even take bank transfers). He means it as a boast about how organised the crew is, and it lands as dark comedy.

The hook then jumps to Olivia Valère, a luxury nightclub in Marbella on the Costa del Sol, which is where the money from the first half goes. Hash smoke, girls on the tables, and a reminder repeated four times: "Tu sais qu'l'addition s'ra salée" (you know the bill is gonna be steep). The second verse sours the party a little. "Elle veut l'plus friqué, elle veut pas l'plus fort" (she wants the richest, not the strongest) is his read on the women around him, and he spends as fast as he earns.
