ZIZOU Lyrics – Recycled J

ZIZOU Lyrics Meaning

[Estribillo]
The artist talks about wearing the crown of Madrid South, symbolizing power and status. Despite facing challenges, like the crown made of thorns (a reference to Jesus), he earned respect by staying cool and determined, much like Zinedine Zidane’s famous headbutt. He’s everywhere, always in the spotlight, and his style is extravagant. He mentions his confidence and the attraction he receives from women, comparing one’s looks to a dessert.

[Verso 1]
Recycled J reflects on how his success in music has granted him luxury, like a jacuzzi or diamonds. He mentions how he’s always been somewhat cheesy, liking pink, but never foolish. His style is top-tier, wearing brands like Gucci and Stüssy. He’s exclusive and no longer new to the game, staying away from fake people (groupies). He’s focused on evolving and making money, positioning himself as a seasoned artist. He contrasts himself with someone who doesn’t want to grow, like Peter Pan. He also compares his worth and appeal to famous figures, charging high fees for shows and living a life of luxury and excess, from partying to attending big events.

[Estribillo]
Recycled J repeats the imagery of his “crown” representing power and respect in Madrid South, despite the struggles that come with it. He made his mark in the game through being cool, using his determination, just like Zidane. His fame is undeniable, and he’s constantly in the spotlight. He describes his unique style and issues with a lack of father figure, adding to his identity. He also makes a playful reference to a woman’s physical features.

[Verso 2]
The artist critiques the falseness in the world, where words don’t matter and deals are made under shady circumstances. He’s aware of both love and hate directed at him, but he doesn’t care about others’ opinions. He compares life to a spinning wheel, emphasizing that only the victorious write their own story. He feels like a star, likening himself to Chayanne with screaming fans. His uniqueness is undeniable, comparing himself to Mozart in style and brilliance. He talks about the harsh realities of fame, where you’re often backstabbed, and nothing is given freely. Everything requires hard work, and success comes at a cost, sometimes through manipulation.

[Estribillo]
Recycled J again talks about wearing the crown of Madrid South, with its hardships, and how he earned his respect by staying cool, referencing Zidane’s strength. He’s everywhere, always in the public eye, with his bold style and confident persona. He also mentions personal struggles with fatherhood and alludes to the physical attraction women have toward him.

[Outro]
A simple, celebratory chant, reflecting his roots in Madrid.
