The song "Ho Hiss" by Guizmo is a French rap song known for its aggressive and confrontational lyrics. The lyrics depict Guizmo's experiences in the streets, his reputation, and his reaction to betrayal and hatred. The song begins with Guizmo introducing himself and his crew GP (Gangsta Potes) and Y&W (Young and Wealthy). He emphasizes their presence and threat by repeating the phrase "Bang, Guizi Ouzou bang." Then he adds a humorous line by saying "Ho Hiss la saucisse," which is a play on words meaning "Ho Hiss the sausage." Guizmo talks about his past struggles when he had no money but managed to reconnect with former friends when he started gaining success. However, he realizes that they only want to take advantage of him, which disappoints him. He has reached a point where nothing excites him anymore, and he resorts to drinking to cope. The lyrics then take a darker tone as Guizmo highlights his tough background and life. He has been involved in dangerous neighborhoods where most people cannot enter. He mentions using violence and threatening people when necessary. He knows many faces, names, and addresses, indicating his knowledge of his enemies and those loyal to him. Guizmo questions the listener's expectations, asserting that he won't simply let himself drown or be defeated. He uses an ethnic reference, "Djangale mes Diakhité mafia n'a peur d'aucun être humain," to convey that he is fearless and will not be intimidated. Even popular comedian Jamel Debbouze would need to use more than one hand to retaliate against him. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Ils ont trahi, ils ont haï, ils m'ont sali," meaning "They betrayed me, they hated me, they tarnished me." Guizmo boldly expresses his anger and disregard for them, using crude language to convey his disrespect. Guizmo then talks about his involvement in drug use and his ability to handle dangerous situations. He mentions his firearm, threatening those who might cross him. He advises people not to mess with his crew as they are unpredictable and smoke large amounts of marijuana. The lyrics mention Guizmo's belief in his "GP" crew, his mother, and his gun. He compares their drug dealing to an assembly line, suggesting they are efficient and cause hallucinations to those who oppose them. Guizmo reminisces about days when he had to survive on leftover food and humorously imagines winning a survival show like "Koh-Lanta" to secure a large cash prize. Towards the end, Guizmo reflects on the twisted world he sees around him, filled with snitches and deceitful people. He questions how such negativity and filth can exist. The mention of a "marabout," an African spiritual figure, suggests that Guizmo has sought guidance from spiritual sources, who advised him to eliminate his enemies and join the ranks of the OGs (Original Gangsters) in paradise. Overall, "Ho Hiss" showcases Guizmo's gritty style, highlighting his experiences in the street and his defiant attitude towards those who betray him. The song's explicit lyrics and aggressive tone aim to convey a sense of power and resilience in the face of adversity.
