Song Meaning of “Pirates” by Booba
Pirates by Booba speaks of a battle for power amongst two rival gangs. Booba talks of how he is the captain of his gang, his people, and he is not afraid to make enemies if they threaten his ways. He addresses the other gang saying that he’ll take their money, never fear, as he guides his gang through the storm, just like a captain of a pirate ship. Booba conveys a powerful message to the rival gang; he knows he will never back down out of fear, and he will fight tooth and nail to make sure his gang is respected. This song speaks to the importance of loyalty, power, and courage as well as a warning not to underestimate. The song speaks to the idea of not relying on someone else to take control of your own life, and taking matters into your own hands instead.
