About This Track

Damso builds 'Périscope' around a single, hammering refrain: the boast of doing nothing but trouble on the live-streaming platform, paired with the album's title motif of a dying battery needing a recharge. The production is sparse and percussive, letting the repetition do the work. His delivery is matter-of-fact, almost conversational, which makes the braggadocio land harder than if he were shouting. The verse is a catalogue of provocations and crude sexual boasts, delivered with the kind of casual offensiveness that was standard in Belgian and French rap at the time. What gives it shape is the specificity of the references and the precision of the rhyme scheme, which keeps the track from collapsing into pure shock value. It's crude, yes, but it's also carefully constructed.

"Périscope" is a track by Damso, from the album Batterie faible, released 24th June 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Périscope

[Paroles de "Périscope"]

[Intro]

Ok (ok)

FuentesVie (FuentesVie), SantosVie (SantosVie)

J'fais que du sale sur Périscope, oui (oui), eh

[Couplet unique]

Damso, OPG, dans le block (hey), Belgium Vie, Marc Wilmots (non)

92i, big up à Kopp (rrah), j'fais que du sale sur Périscope (binks)

Fruity Loops, noires sont les notes, j'la baise dans l'cul, j'paye pas la dot (no)

Dans mes pe-cli, j'fume d'la drogue, je n'ris qu'sous protoxyde d'azote

Mon maître majeur dans sa tte-cha, c'est la noyade (ouais, ouais, ouais)

J'suis suspecté comme si j'venais d'sortir d'chez Jawad

J'n'ai pas l'temps pour les tchoins (no), sauf si j'les fuck gratuitement (rrah)

Négro, allume un joint, on n'fume pas d'clope dans l'appartement (clair)

Toujours caleçon à l'air (ouais), mon bas-fesses est impeccable (yeah)

J'te prends que par derrière comme passagère sur ma bécane (ouais)

J'mettrai tout sur les réseaux, oui, oui, ta chatte sera ruinée (yeah)

J'vais t'cramer au monde entier, grillé, j'vais te Serge Aurier (rrah)

J'respecte beurettes et imams, jugement d'vautour j'laisse à Dieu

Négro, j'suis Morgan Freeman, depuis toujours, j'suis ton vieux

J'nique des chattes et des vétérinaires sur le pont d'Avignon (ouais)

"T'es parti trop tôt comme Hitler" a dit le nazillon

Damso, ouais

[Refrain]

Ménagère, j'nettoie au Glock (yeah)

Batterie faible, recharge le stock (ouais)

Dans la clique, y a que des locks (bang), armés dans l'clip comme Roi Heenok

J'fais que du sale sur Périscope, j'fais que du sale sur Périscope

J'fais que du sale sur Périscope, j'fais que du sale sur Périscope

Ménagère, j'nettoie au Glock (eh)

Batterie faible, recharge le stock (oh)

Dans la clique, y a que des locks (Dems), armés dans l'clip comme Roi Heenok

J'fais que du sale sur Périscope, j'fais que du sale sur Périscope

J'fais que du sale sur Périscope, j'fais que du sale sur Périscope

Vie

[Outro]

C'est bon
