HATIK's song Baguette Magique talks about the struggles and injustices faced by the immigrant community in France, specifically those of North African descent. The lyrics emphasize the feeling of helplessness in the face of discrimination, police brutality, and the loss of loved ones. The song also touches on the theme of materialism and the importance of not losing sight of what truly matters in life, such as solidarity and community support. The phrase "baguette magique" (magic wand) is used metaphorically to express the desire to make things better and ease the pain, but ultimately acknowledging that there are no magical solutions to the problems at hand. Médine, a French rapper known for his politically charged lyrics, contributes a verse that touches on the same issues while referencing Ariana Grande's controversial tattoo and the toxic culture of social media. Overall, the song is a powerful and poignant message about the struggles of marginalized communities in France and the need for unity and resilience in the face of adversity.
