About This Track

Alpha Wann moves through 'MACRO' with the swagger of someone whose reach extends across borders and currencies. The track is built on a simple premise: when your business expands, your influence stretches with it. He name-checks collaborators and cities, moves between Paris and Amsterdam, invokes historical figures like Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and treats wealth and reputation as interchangeable. The production sits somewhere between trap and French rap convention, letting his voice occupy the space without ornament. There's a philosophical hinge in the bridge, a moment where Wann steps back from the boasting to observe something truer: you spend years learning to speak, but never enough time learning when to stay silent. It's a rare pause in a song otherwise committed to the opposite impulse, to saying things, to taking up room. The contradiction feels deliberate, a reminder that even expansion has its limits.

"MACRO" is a track by Alpha Wann, from the album UNE MAIN LAVE L’AUTRE, released 21st September 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

MACRO

[Paroles de "MACRO"]

[Couplet 1]

Respect à Nubi Sale et à Salif, les étoiles s'alignent

Vrai noir en peignoir, tu nettoies, j'salis

Paie-moi, paie-moi, j'arrive dans cette merde comme Jean-Jacques Dessalines

J'suis un négro spatial, connecté avec quelques ghetto spartiates

Et des go asiat', ils veulent être G

Moi, du mercredi au mercredi, j'veux faire des sous comme Maître Gims

Vous pouvez être deux, vous pouvez être dix

Quoi qu'il se passe, les vrais nègres dînent

Et je fais que d'le dire : Don Dada, bob Prada, fuck Paname

J'suis avec un bord à 'Dam, on fait du vélo et on fait du shopping

C'est pas ma vraie go, non, c'est juste une copine

Son tard-pé est gros, c'est plutôt une coquine, on s'emboîte comme Lego, hey

[Pré-refrain]

Quelques coups d'fil et on dièse ensuite, livre sterling, yen, franc suisse

Quand t'as le biz' expansif, t'as le bras long, pire : extensible (macro)

Quelques coups d'fil et on dièse ensuite, livre sterling, yen, franc suisse

Quand t'as le biz' expansif, t'as le bras long, pire : extensible (macro)

[Refrain]

Représente le deux fois sept (macro), j'mets Paris Sud sur la carte (macro)

On raye ta voiture comme un zèbre (macro), j'suis descendu, j'suis à Cannes (macro)

Pas d'amitié, que le 'seille (macro), Maman m'a vu sur la 4 (macro)

Il me manque juste le sceptre (macro), il me manque juste la canne

[Pont]

Tu mets deux ans pour apprendre à parler quand t'es bébé

T'as pas assez d'toute une vie pour apprendre à t'taire. C'est la vérité, combien d'fois tu dis des choses, tu t'dis : "Putain, merde j'aurais mieux fait d'fermer ma gueule"

[Couplet 2]

Quand les chtars guettent, je m'téléporte comme dans Stargate

J'peux me faire tuer par un chtar pét'

Dans chaque bled, le diable plaît, soigne chaque plaie, les vrais sages sont muets comme Charlie Chaplin

Dans la paume, un chapelet, boîte de messages pleine

Alors que ces putes ne répondaient pas à l'ancienne lorsque j'appelais

Bref, négro ça m'plaît (macro)

Alpha n'est pas là, il travaille, tout l'monde croit qu'il s'branle

Quand l'chat n'est pas là, les souris se prennent pour Chris Brown

Ils ont des perceuses, j'ai un compas, c'est pas comme ça qu'on perce

Le rap: un combat, c'est pas demain qu'on l'perd

Je cherche ma compagne, j'ai déjà les compères

Je déteste la compta', je déteste la compet' et ce, depuis tit-pe

J'suis pas un winner, me parler de gagner, c'est parler de permis à un mineur

[Pré-refrain]

Quelques coups d'fil et on dièse ensuite, livre sterling, yen, franc suisse

Quand t'as le biz' expansif, t'as le bras long, pire : extensible (macro)

Quelques coups d'fil et on dièse ensuite, livre sterling, yen, franc suisse

Quand t'as le biz' expansif, t'as le bras long, pire : extensible (macro)

[Refrain]

Représente le deux fois sept (macro), j'mets Paris Sud sur la carte (macro)

On raye ta voiture comme un zèbre (macro), j'suis descendu, j'suis à Cannes (macro)

Pas d'amitié, que le 'seille (macro), Maman m'a vu sur la 4 (macro)

Il me manque juste le sceptre (macro), il me manque juste la canne, han

Représente le deux fois sept (macro), j'mets Paris Sud sur la carte (macro)

On raye ta voiture comme un zèbre (macro), j'suis descendu, j'suis à Cannes (macro)

Pas d'amitié, que le 'seille (macro), Maman m'a vu sur la 4 (macro)

Il me manque juste le sceptre (macro), il me manque juste la canne, han
