Mélo Décalé — English translation

Tiakola · french → English

What "Mélo Décalé" means

A defiant, swaggering track in which the rapper claims his place in melodic rap and answers critics who dismiss it. He shrugs off media debates, calls out hypocrites who smile to his face, and says favours are the costliest thing of all. He boasts about money, status and staying calm while others chase certifications, then the hook repeats that pockets are empty, a street-style flex about hustle. Spoken tributes to Douk Saga and DJ Arafat close the track.

C'est qui? C'est qui? C'est moi
Who is it? Who is it? It's me
Qui c'est? C'est moi (ouh, ouh, ouh)
Who is it? It's me (ouh, ouh, ouh)
C'est pas fini pour sortir les fumettes (c'est qui?)
It's not over for pulling out the smoke (who is it?)
Pour sortir les pépettes (c'est moi)
To bring out the cash (it's me)
