"Carré" by HATIK is a French rap song that talks about the struggles and lifestyle of people living in the rough neighborhoods of France (known as "tess"). The lyrics highlight the easy money and opportunities that are available in the illegal activities of drug dealing and gang violence, but also emphasize the dangerous and unpredictable nature of this lifestyle. The chorus emphasizes the importance of being prepared and cautious when living this life, as everything is "carré" or squared away. This means having everything under control and being ready for any situation, whether it is making a drug deal or getting into a fight. The verses touch on various themes such as bragging about one's success, women, material possessions, and the inherent risks associated with living this type of lifestyle. The lyrics also mention the desire to get out of the rough neighborhoods and move into a better life, illustrated by wanting a designer handbag or a new girlfriend. Overall, "Carré" paints a picture of the harsh reality of life in the French ghettos and the struggle of young people to survive and thrive amid limited opportunities and social inequality.
