Frérot is a heartfelt conversation between two childhood friends who have drifted apart. Black M and Soprano rewind the tape to their mischievous younger days, when they pulled off “les 400 coups” together and swore nothing could break their bond. Now adulthood, fame and a stubborn ego have slipped between them, turning shared memories into painful silence. The song moves like a confessional: each line mixes pride with regret, reminding us that even the strongest brotherhood can crack when ambition whispers, “You’re the only one who can reach the top.”
Yet behind the bruised feelings lies a sincere plea for reconciliation. The chorus repeats like an embrace—“Pas faire du mal à mon frérot”—promising that money, distance or mistakes will never erase real loyalty. By the end, the artists ask for forgiveness, imagining a future where life brings the “frérots” back together. It is at once a cautionary tale about letting ego win and a tender reminder that true friends remain family, no matter how long the detour home might be.
