[@StuartCallendar]

Long story short, he's singing about gettin on his bike and riding away from the troubles of the world with a join lt between his teeth, not caribg about the cinsequences that his freedom may cost. Becane is French slang for motorbike. Pretty much all his music is well put together, well arranged and well executed. You should react to "Call of Vahalla." Subscribed.

* Verse1: Bitch it has been a very very long time that i think about it but i didn't have your thrive. Never pay attention about gossip, those bigmouths never saw the world through your eyes. I try to speak with them in their language in vain, they only understand the language of violence. I stripe on my body armour, you didn't see me flinch when i had to pass the slow circuit ( with his bike). Sankara, Cheikh Anta, N****r, i have chosen my rolemodels, reliable like german engins. Independent, no gold, no teeth. I share more, then the elders of your elders. I don't look at them, they are not concentrated. I am not waiting for the pass , they cannot center. I am Bantu, don't talk to me in Basané. We didn't came here to swag around. Get away with your coke, i got my family. Bridge: I pull on the handgrip, i offend the time. I am cruising like someone is waiting for me. I lock this Johnny between my teeth. Chorus: 2x I am taking out the Becane (motorbike) I smoke weed. I don't give a fuck if it's dangerous. I only see metal bars , the Becane is yelling and i escape hell. Verse 2: Acra (african dish) helps to concentrate. The hate that i have in my thoughts. In this predefined game. Bridge 2x I am taking out the Becane, cane, ouuuhh 2x Becane , i am smoking weed. Chorus: 2x I am taking out the Becane (motorbike) I smoke weed. Oh yes, oh yes.*

I don’t speak French but I’ve had this on repeat for like a month. It’s as if he uses his voice as an instrument. This song has so much layers and depth. It’s like a roller coaster ride. He is a true artist. This is real music. He starts off rap/singing high pitch, then normal rap then singing deep then using his voice to make sounds that amplify the beat then singing high and repeats it all. Absolutely impressive

Bro you tha goat. Period. You perfectly understood the style of Yamê when you talked about « Ne me quitte pas » from Jacques Brel. He said in interview that he grew up with french variety because of his mother. So this is a part of who he really is. Respect from a french guy bro

[@nathanouerfelli1803]

Man I’m from Paris, Yame is a great artist and this guy just analyzed pefectly Bécane without even understanding the lyrics. And Mr L Boyd coming out with the French music culture is insane

[@PhoenixSinhopsysTV]

Yes, because Jaques Brel is belgian, same Stromae ;)

[@carolinejaspart8802]

He says that he feels relieved from all the world's pressure & forgets about his problems when he takes out his motocycle & drives fast while smoking a doobie stuck in his teeth. He says he doesn't give a shit if it's dangerous. When the engine screams, it feels like he comes out of hell. Love this artist too! His voice is very genuine unlike most singers these days. He's got a great vibe! 😍

[@lataupe9028]

Yeah, dude is a lifelong pianist and jazz musician, who just so happened to get into rap music. So of course all of his music is organic.

[@Vossflying]

here are the lyrics translated the best i could. PS: it's about him as an up incomming artist with many slick play-on-words about his motorcycle(bécane) X lyrics : [verse 1:] - Bitch, I've been thinking about how to get well for a long, long time, I don't have your momemtum (by momemtum he means a label's tramplun) Never listen to the "they said", those who gossip have not seen life through your world I may speak in their language but apparently they only hear the language of violence I sneak into a ball without my hands, you haven't seen me stutter when I had to do the « Slow » (he drive the motorcycle so well, he can sneak anywhere without hands) (the "slow" is a motorcycle test to obtain the said license, meanning he can handles difficult tests of fame and music) - Sankara, Cheikh Anta, nigga, I chose my models, it's reliable like a German engine (by "nigga" he means black cultures and check who Sankara and Cheikh Anta are + another play with motorcycle with the motor engine) - As independent artist, without carats, without chico, yes I bite much more than the greats of your greats ("carats" and "chico" = "jewelries" and "teeth") I don't see them, they're not focused, I'm not waiting for the pass, they can't cross(football ref) I'm Bantu(one of many african ethniticy), don't talk to me about basané, we didn't come here to showoff (don't call him basené(darker skin) but simply black which white french people have difficulties to do lol) [pre-chorus:] keep your your cocaine, I have my cc (cc is basically related to the speed of his motorcyle so doesn't need drug, he has the freedom of his motorcycle) I turn the handle, I crush time I ride as if someone was waiting for me I put the blunt (or motorcycle exhaust pipe) between my teeth, m'bah ouai, m'bah ouai ("m'bah ouai" is his gimic and basically means "that's how it is [chorus:12x I take out the bike, di-di-da-da, I smoke weed I don't give a damn if it's mad dangerous I only see bars, iron bars The bike screams and I come out of hell on a big iron, m'bah ouai (hell is the quotidien that he escape with his motorcycle) [bridge:] - Akra helps to focus (Akrapovic is a famous manufacturer of motorcycle exhaust lines that focus on high speed so the speed helps him to focus) [bridge:] - Akra helps to focus (Akrapovic is a famous manufacturer of motorcycle exhaust lines that focus on high speed so the speed helps him to focus) - The hatred that I feel in my thoughts, hum The hatred that I feel in my thoughts, hum In this marketed/rigged business, oh yeah In this marketed/rigged business, oh yeah [and then crazy vocal notes] [chorus:]2x

You ever just hear something and it just pulls you in? I heard the french and was intrigued, but his sound and this beat are something else. This is dope. He took that old timey post ww2 french jazz singer vibe and rhythm and updated it. This shit is something else. I'll be the only dude in my area that will have this shit blaring out the whip. Maybe one of the few that actually understands a bit of it.

[@nathaliedbb6671]

La chanson parle de la vie dans les quartier défavorisés avec les problèmes de drogue et de violence. Alors Yame sort sa moto, fume de l'herbe et il dit qu'il s'en fout du danger et de rouler très vite ! C'est une métaphore qui parle de s'évader de son quotidien misérable grâce à la vitesse et au mépris du danger....

I have been searching for this song since I heard a snippet of it in passing someone. A snippet was enough, to someone in love with music, to know the incredible emotion poured in to a vocal display of art. This song is easily the most exquisite exhibition of vocal talent where feelings are so seamlessly transferred from one human being to another...without understanding the actual words. A masterpiece vocally with sound instrumental integrity. A recording of harmony.
