ZIZOU (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The artist feels like he has earned a special place and status, comparing his “crown” to one made of thorns, symbolizing the struggles he’s faced. He got respect through his actions, doing things his own way, similar to how Zinedine Zidane was known for his famous headbutt. He mentions enjoying luxury items, like wearing designer clothes, and has a bold and confident attitude, making people pay attention to him. He also references a playful comparison to a dessert, showing his ability to stand out.

[Verse 1]
The artist highlights how his success in music brought him wealth and luxury, like owning a jacuzzi and diamonds. He embraces his unique, sometimes quirky style, but makes it clear that he’s no fool and avoids shallow groupies. He’s no longer a beginner, and he’s not dealing with nonsense. The artist feels like he’s a leader, with a solid reputation in the rap game. He’s confident in his success and isn’t afraid to challenge the idea of staying young or avoiding growth. He compares himself to celebrities, claiming his worth is like JLo’s, and mentions how his performances are valuable. The reference to Elrow and the Super Bowl shows the extremes of his journey from parties to big stages.

[Chorus]
In this chorus, the artist repeats the same sentiments about his crown of respect, which he earned through hard work and standing out. He compares his journey to that of someone who doesn’t give up, despite challenges. He has a strong sense of identity and confidence, illustrated by luxury fashion choices and a bold demeanor. The use of “miso soup” and other details adds to the image of him being in demand and unapologetically successful.

[Verse 2]
Here, the artist is frustrated with the fake nature of people around him. He feels that words don’t hold weight in his world, where deals and relationships are tainted by dishonesty. People are two-faced, pretending to be kind while secretly speaking ill. He’s aware of the jealousy and mixed opinions others have of him but chooses not to care about their opinions. The artist also reflects on how fame is filled with betrayal and shallow encounters. He likens the competition in his world to a ride that only the strongest can endure, and he has no illusions about it being easy. The reference to Chayanne, a famous Latin singer, shows how he feels admired and celebrated, but it also highlights the pain and sacrifices of fame.

[Chorus]
This chorus repeats the artist’s pride in his success and the respect he’s earned, emphasizing his unique path and luxurious lifestyle. His crown of “Madrid Sur” (South Madrid) symbolizes his rise from humble beginnings, despite facing challenges. The repeated references to “headbutting like Zizou” and “miso soup” emphasize the artist’s unapologetic confidence and willingness to be bold and stand out from others.

[Outro]
The outro is a simple, repetitive chant that ties back to the artist’s origins, representing his connection to Madrid and his journey. It’s a celebratory, almost tribal way of expressing his identity.
