Intro
Imen, Capo
Abou, Lossa
Talk money to me, don't talk feelings
You don't buy clothes with love
Too bad for my ex, I was her past's favorite
There's nothing left to glue, when it's broken, it's broken
Little genius acts smart, she wants a hug, I play the kid
I'm in this sh*t, I'm in that thing
I got long arms, she gives me her hand
She's my pretty lady, even the mirror can't match you
My pretty lady, you can look but there's nobody like me
She wants mouth-to-mouth
I gotta feel her pulse
All the time, she talks love to me
She wants me to give it all for us
You know that's all we're good at, huh
You know that's all we're good at, huh
You know that's all we're good at, yeah
You know that's all we're good at, yeah
Talk money to me, don't talk feelings
You don't buy clothes with love
Too bad for my ex, I was her past's favorite
There's nothing left to glue, when it's broken, it's broken
It's the Capo, huh, make one, make one, make one
I pull up and everything goes dark, everywhere's packed, everywhere's packed, make one
I'm no Omah Lay, I tossed the chopper in the alley
She wants to settle but I'm legendary like Pepe Kalle
It's not like that
The kid I left little behind has grown, oh-yah, oh-yah-eh
The kid I left little behind has grown, oh-yah, oh-yah-eh
The kid I left little behind has grown, oh-yah, oh-yah-eh
The kid I left little behind has grown
Talk money to me, don't talk feelings
You don't buy clothes with love
Too bad for my ex, I was her past's favorite
There's nothing left to glue, when it's broken, it's broken
Talk money to me, don't talk feelings
You don't buy clothes with love
Too bad for my ex, I was her past's favorite
There's nothing left to glue, when it's broken, it's broken
Outro
Imen, Capo

SONG MEANING

Money first, feelings later – that is the cheeky motto running through Jungeli’s “Petit Génie”. Over an infectious Afro-pop beat, the Indian-born artist slips between French street slang and Lingala, boasting about long arms that reach opportunity, designer clothes, and legendary status “like Pepe Kalle”. He flirts, teases, and calls himself a petit génie (little genius) because he knows exactly how to charm a woman while keeping his heart – and his wallet – in check. The repeated line “Parle-moi lovés, me parle pas de sentiments” (“Talk to me about cash, not feelings”) drives home the idea that, in his world, love alone will not pay for a new outfit or fuel his fast-lane lifestyle.

Beneath the swagger lies a subtle message about modern relationships. Jungeli brushes off an ex by reminding us that when something is broken, it stays broken, and he would rather focus on the present rush of success than patch up old romances. Passion is welcome – he will give you bouche à bouche and check your pulse – but only if you accept that the real heartbeat here is financial ambition. “Petit Génie” is therefore a playful anthem for anyone who is chasing dreams, stacking bills, and refusing to let sentiment slow them down.
