Sang Fezi

w/ Lauryn Hill

(Chorus)

Ki ayisien kap di'm map mache New-York san fezi
(Which haitian says i walk in New-York without a gun)
Mwen di ou messie nou menti
(I tell you man y'all lying)
Lè bum yo ginbe ou yo devore ou se lè ou mouri police vini
(When the bum catches you they eat you up it's when you die the police comes)
Mwen di ou messie nou menti
(I tell you man y'all lying)

Penden'm kanpe sou flatbush mwen wouè on police ap vini
(While standing on flatbush i saw the a cop comin')
Li di mwen map vann dròg
(He said i'm selling drug)
mwen di mon chè ou menti
(I told man you're lying)
Li vin pou'l vin cheke'm mwen di mwen pa gen anyen
(He came to check me out i told him i had nothing)
Se nan yon ti bal mwen tapwal la pou' cheke on ti zen
(I was going to a party to check the 411)
Big up big up phantom mwen renmen tabou combo
(Big up big up phantom (haitian band) i like tabou combo (another band)
Se sak fè depwim nan bal la mwen mande kote moun yo
(That's if i'm in the bal i ask where's the poeple)
Timtim bwa sèk mwen couri lèm ouvri pòt
(Timtim bwa sèk (creole salute) i ran to open the door)
Nan yon cimitiè pase mwen wouè on tèt san kòk
(In a cemetery cause i saw i head without a rooster)
A b c d f g si`ou vlé batay se danje
(A b c d f g) if you wanna fight it's danger
Mem si ou kon jwé foutbol dènié gòl lan sé pou pélé
(Even if could play soccer the last goal if for pele (brazilian soccer player)
Pa jouré manmam, manmam sé kréol
(Don't diss my mom, my mom is creole)
Fesi'm se bousòl
(My gun guides me)
Kompa'm se lakol
(My direction sticks)
Original ayisieeennnn kwa dè boukèèèè
(Original haitian Croix-des-Bouquets (Wyclef's town)
Gen nèg ki pensé brooklyn'm fèt ayiti'm fèt kwa dè boukè
kwa dè boukè
(Some niggers thinks i was born in brooklyn, i was in Haiti in Croix-des-Bouquets)

Tandé
(Listen)

(Chorus)

Prezidan mwen pa vlé prézidan ou
(President, i don't wanna be your president)
Wasé mikrofòn nan mwen sé gouvèman ou
(Give me the microphone i become your goverment)
Bon nom'm sé Wyclef yo rélé'm fanfan
(My real name's wyclef they call me fanfan)
Mwen gen on ti sè yo rélé roz salon
(I have a little sister that is called roz salon)
Mwen yon cheval ki volé chak swa
(I got a horse who flys every night)
Mwen gen cheve pwav mwen pa vlé cheve soi
(I got a nappy head i don't have silky hair)
Bad boy ayisien ki soti en ayiti
(Haitian bad boy straight from Haiti)
Depui mwen gen pwoblèm mwen ralé ouzi
(If got a problem i pull a uzi)
Lè mal lékòl ameriken té kon jouré'm
(When i went to school american's used to diss me)
Yo rélém nèg nwè yo rélém ti réfijié
(They called black nigger they called a little refugee)
Jan yo palé mwen wouè yo pa civilisé
(The way they talked i saw they where not civilised)
Jan yo palé mwen wouè yo pa kon bon djie
(The way they talked i saw they didn't know god)
45 bo kotem plis mwen gen de pié kolé
(45 by my side plus i got bot feet together)
si on nèg testé'm mapé pété dé gren zie'l
(If a nigger test me i'm gonna stab his eyes)
Orijinal ayitien ki soti jerizalem
(Original haitian straight from jerusalem)
Si on nèg testé'm ané sa a ou pap ouè nwèl
(If a nigger tests me you wont see christmas this year)

(Chorus)

Tande
(Listen)

(man's voice)
Koté moun yo mwen pa wouè moun yo
(Where's the poeple i don't see the poeple)

(Lauryn)
Then you should know
That one day we are gone
So keep your head to the sky
See the path we refuse is the path we should choose
They wont take the world when you die

Ayitien tiréé
(Haitian fire)


Levé lè men levé lè men chanté chanté
(Hands up hands up sing sing)

Yon bagay yo di'm fi petyon vil pa vlé nèg ki gen cheve pwav mwen gen cheve
pwav
(They told me something girls from Pétion-Ville don't want nigga's
with nappy heads well i've got a nappy head)
