The song "Bang Bang" by Hatik is about the violence and death that occurs in the impoverished and marginalized neighborhoods, known as the "tess" in French slang. The lyrics speak about the tragic death of a young person in the tess, and the mourning of their family and community. Hatik addresses the issue of police brutality and the way in which law enforcement often enters these neighborhoods with excessive force, comparing them to Daesch commandos. He also critiques the way that society tends to pay more attention to instances of violence against white individuals than against people of color. Ultimately, Hatik encourages unity and solidarity among communities, recognizing that internal conflict only weakens the power of marginalized groups. The repeated refrain of "Bang Bang" highlights the cyclical nature of violence and the urgent need for change.
