Je sais pas jouer

Pierpoljak's song "Je sais pas jouer" is a heartfelt declaration of his unwavering dedication to reggae music. The repetitive chorus, where he states, "Moi je sais pas jouer autre chose que du reggae," emphasizes his commitment to this genre. This repetition not only underscores his passion but also serves as a defiant stance against the pressures to conform to other musical styles. The artist's refusal to dance or play anything other than reggae highlights his authenticity and resistance to external influences that seek to mold him into something he's not.

The lyrics also critique the music industry's tendency to prioritize marketability over artistic integrity. Pierpoljak mentions "Les directeurs artistiques" who try to persuade him to change his style for greater commercial success. He mocks their advice to adopt a more mainstream image, symbolized by the suggestion to "Prend plutôt une gratte sèche, laisse toi pousser la mèche." His response, "Blah blah blah," dismisses their attempts to shape his career, reinforcing his commitment to staying true to himself and his music.

Beyond the music industry, Pierpoljak extends his critique to societal norms and expectations. He draws parallels between the music industry's pressures and the manipulative nature of politics, stating, "En politique c'est facile il suffit d'être habile." He rejects the idea of conforming to societal roles, whether in politics, business, or manual labor, as he humorously admits his failures in these areas. This broader critique underscores a theme of authenticity and individuality, celebrating the freedom to pursue one's true passion despite societal pressures.
