About This Track

OrelSan enlists Maître Gims for a track built on deliberate deflation. The song cycles through a refrain naming French pop singers, a deadpan anchor that undercuts any pretence to grandeur. OrelSan's verses pile on contradictions: geek obsessions against street credibility, idle boasts against self-aware deflation, a posture of resigned indifference wrapped in specificity. The humour lands because the details stick; the song refuses to resolve into either sincerity or pure provocation. Gims arrives in the final verse to mirror the same tonal instability, positioning himself as a bridge between disparate cultural references. The track moves at a clip, each couplet a fresh provocation that doesn't quite commit to its own swagger. It is comedy built on precision, the kind that works only if you're paying attention to what's being said.

"Christophe" is a track by OrelSan, from the album Ceinture noire, released 20th October 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Christophe

[Paroles de "Christophe" ft. Gims]

[Couplet 1 : OrelSan]

Assalamu alaykum, déjà, t'as compris qu'j'm'en bats les couilles

Lunettes noires parce que j'mate des boules, j'suis déchiré, j'sens pas les coups

Un jour, j'ai ramené deux meufs, c'était nul, ça m'a rappelé qu'j'ai du mal avec une

On m'appelle "Nekfeu" quand on m'croise dans la rue, avant, j'étais bizarre ; maintenant, j'assume

J'aime que les mangas (J'aime que les mangas), et les films de Van Damme (Et les films de Van Damme)

J'prends pas d'bouteilles en boîte (J'prends pas d'bouteilles en boîte), à Carrefour, c'est vingt balles

[Pré-refrain : OrelSan]

J'aurais pu sauver la vieille France, aider la patrie d'mon enfance

Donner aux racistes de l'espoir, mais j'fais d'la musique de Noir

[Refrain : OrelSan]

Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Keen'V

Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Keen'V

Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Keen'V

Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Christophe Maé, Keen'V

[Couplet 2 : OrelSan]

J'mets que des t-shirts de geeks, Japan Expo, c'est la Fashion Week

Tous les matins sont des lendemains d'cuite, j'suis pas validé par la street

Marion Maréchal me suit sur Twitter, j'aimerais la baiser, briser son p'tit cœur

J'ai envoyé ma bite et un emoji fleur, bonjour à papy, j'suis pressé qu'il meure

T'as dix followers (T'as dix followers), tu peux les voir en vrai (Tu peux les voir en vrai)

Fananananana, manana manana

[Pré-refrain : OrelSan]

J'aurais pu sauver la vieille France, aider la patrie d'mon enfance

Donner aux racistes de l'espoir, mais j'fais d'la musique de Noir

[Refrain : OrelSan]

[Couplet 3 : Gims]

Lunettes noires, poker face, j'pose tapis, arrêtez d'faire chier, Bernard Tapie

Tu crames les mêmes pas d'danses comme Shaki', j'sais plus quel effet ça fait d'être trois fois platine

Oooh yeah, j'te taquine, j'suis l'pont entre Young Thug et Georges Moustaki

Le Noir le plus aimé du Central Massif, j'comprends toujours pas pourquoi autant d'Blancs me kiffent

Bernard Minet, Bernard Minet, Bernard Minet, Lorie

Eddy Mitchell, Eddy Mitchell, Eddy Mitchell, Johnny

[Refrain : OrelSan]

[Outro : OrelSan]

Ton visage fait moins d'likes que ton boulard, c'est plus ton profil, c'est celui d'ton boulard

On s'en bat les couilles de tes vacances, les vacances qu'on veut voir, c'est celles de ton boulard
