Big Fish in a Small Pond

[Intro]
"Say, Uncle Orel: could you tell us a story?
- Okay! It's called "Big fish in a small pond". It's about people who give too much importance to themselves! Are you kids ready?
- Yeaaaaah!
 
[Verse 1 - Orelsan]
Okay! Jessica walks with her torso bulging in the streets of her village
We give her twenty years, she's seventeen behind the makeup
She's the less ugly bitch in her lost town
So every guy in the area dreams of fucking her
Her plans are to stop school, go to the capital
To become an actress or model
Her starlet dreams go to her head
Nothing is good enough for her anymore, except the rhinestones and sequins
She's dating Nico, twenty-six years old, physio
Nothing in the skull, everything in the tear gas canister
In the nightclub, he's the one who makes the law
He's the kind of guy who flunks you just to prove to you that he has the right
Proud as a king on his throne
Choosing who can go in gives him the impression of being in control
He's perfectly playing his role of motherfucking bouncer
When he slams the door in your face with a superior look
Conclusion: Just because you're the most good in the village doesn't mean you're good
Just because you keep the entrance to the nightclub doesn't make you the boss
If you weigh on a small scale, and that you flex
You're not going anywhere, and it'll be too late when you realize it
 
[Chorus - Children's Choir and Orelsan]
A big fish in a small pond
The king of ants, the prince of minions
A big fish in a small pond
I'm talking about bluffing, excessive pride, abuse of power
A big fish in a small pond
The king of ants, the prince of minions
A big fish in a small pond
You always find stronger than yourself: that's the moral of the story
 
[Verse 2 - Orelsan]
Fabrice sticks posters in his city
With his name written bigger than the artist of whom he is the first part
His goal in music is to squeeze kids
And get into the only nightclub in the area where he's a VIP for free
Twenty-four hours a day with its suite
The 20 people who buy his records and suck his dick
He's playing the Americans on the floor
But when you take off the luxury sunglasses, there's no charisma
He keeps saying he's in music instead of really doing it
He finds his plans thanks to his older brother Clément
Twenty-seven years old, event organizer
Business-mythomaniac in music and clothing
Hopeful youth leader, he'll take them nowhere
His contacts are the buddy of the sister of a star's brother-in-law's sister
The Eddy Barclay of Calvados
Everything in the bluff, up to his suit Dolce Gabanos
Conclusion: Just because you have twenty groupies doesn't mean you sell too many records
Just because you make three calls doesn't mean you're in show business
If you weigh on a small scale, and that you flex
You're not going anywhere, and it'll be too late when you realize it
 
[Chorus - Children's Choir and Orelsan]
A big fish in a small pond
The king of ants, the prince of minions
A big fish in a small pond
I'm talking about bluffing, excessive pride, abuse of power
A big fish in a small pond
The king of ants, the prince of minions
A big fish in a small pond
You always find stronger than yourself: that's the moral of the story
 
[Verse 3 - Orelsan]
In the world of work, I've met the same guys a lot of times
Team leaders, chain managers, managers at Quick
Who would sell their mothers to move up the ladder
Who you're giving a little power to, and they're freaking out
The last one I met is Claude, that's his real name
I don't think he listens to my songs, but nevermind
His empire is reception, his carriage is his Opel
The worst part is, he's not even the hotel boss
He's the executive assistant, five feet tall and frustrated
Good only to abuse his situation
When he's not licking the boss' balls
It's that he yells at his colleagues, like it's a passion
Insults, pressure blows, misplaced reflections
Things that make you want to never work again
A real Nazi boy
Forced to belittle others to try to love his life
Conclusion: Just because you have power doesn't mean you're the leader
Just because you give orders doesn't mean you get respect
If you weigh on a small scale, and that you flex
You're not going anywhere, and it'll be too late when you realize it
 
[Chorus - Children's Choir and Orelsan]
A big fish in a small pond
The king of ants, the prince of minions
A big fish in a small pond
I'm talking about bluffing, excessive pride, abuse of power
A big fish in a small pond
The king of ants, the prince of minions
A big fish in a small pond
You always find stronger than yourself: that's the moral of the story
 
[Outro]
"Thank you, Uncle Orel! That was a great story you had. I didn't understand everything, but there had a lot of bad words!
