After not hearing from Ms. Fat Booty for a while, Mos gets word from his boy Big Mu (he’s the guy that introduced them earlier).

Mu reports the twist ending: Sharice has been spotted at a strip club dancing lasciviously with a beautiful Asian woman.

What this means, precisely, is a bit ambiguous. Is Sharice in a relationship with this woman? Has she become a dancer at a strip club, or was she just “performing” for fun? Is this supposed to suggest that she has fled the prospect of heterosexual commitment for wild, pansexual hedonism? Or are we to understand that she was a bisexual all along, and possibly also in a relationship with this “banging ass Asian” the whole time? The twist ending we get in the song raises far more questions than it answers.

Orelsan explique qu'il craint d'avantage la mort lorsqu'il se rapproche du bonheur, car plus on a de choses auxquelles on tient, plus on craint de les perdre, et ne comprend pas pourquoi c'est ainsi : “Comme si j'avais peur d'être aveugle après que le soleil s'éteigne”, le Paradis étant représentatif du bonheur éternel, il ne comprend pas pourquoi il aurait peur de la mort lorsqu'il est heureux, alors que logiquement au Paradis, il le serait bien plus.

Métaphore des tuiles, des erreurs, qui doivent être réparées avant de mourir et que le toit ne s'effondre.

Orelsan sous-entend qu'à sa mort ses actes seront jugés pour savoir où il ira : en Enfer ou au Paradis.

Étant donné que tous ses actes n'ont pas été saints, il préfère réparer ses erreurs (“J'répare mes tuiles”) et agir dorénavant correctement (“J'prépare la réponse”), avant d'être jugé et de risquer de partir en Enfer (“Avant qu'le toit n’s'effondre).

Comme la chanson évoque de nombreuses croyances, la référence au jugement lors de la mort peut être une allusion au choix entre paradis et enfer des trois religions monothéistes, mais également aux trois juges des enfers Minos, Eaque et Rhadamanthe de la mythologie grecque, jugeant des actions du défunt durant sa vie pour définir son châtiment ou sa récompense.

Dans ces mesures, il nous parle de larmes : “je les sens qui descendent […] Le long de mes joues” ; “lorsque l'une d'elles s'écrase à la commissure de mes lèvres”…

Avec ironie, il explique donc que le goût sâlé (physique) de ses larmes lui est indifférent, étant donné qu'il à déjà le goût amer de la tristesse (mentalement) qui le hante.

It’s been said that a woman who’s beautiful first thing in the morning is one to keep. Sharice seems to have nice jewelry, hardly any makeup, and a well cared-for physique. She’s a fairy tale. No real women look this good…

Also the last line is from the popular nursery rhyme What Are Little Boys Made Of

What are little boys made of
What are little boys made of
Snips & snails & puppy dogs tails
And such are little boys made of.
What are young women made of
Sugar & spice & all things nice

Everything Yasiin has seen so far is Sugar and spice. He’s wondering if there’s anything about her that’s not amazing.

The ‘swims at the Reebok Gym’ is a reference to the Reebok Sports club on 160 Columbus Ave, Implying Sharice is in shape, a result of working out.
