La mauvaise réputation

Dann mon kartyé pa pou fé lo fyon
Néna i koz si mwin an kouyon
Mon pat a tèr mon savat dé dwa
Zot i pran a mwin pou in fatr
Ou lé sir mwin moun mi anvaz pa pèrsone
Mi vann mon bazar sousou zariko zone
Soman domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté
Non va domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté
Tout domoun i bat la lang la
Park bann parlpa, zot i gingn pa

Lo zour la fèt Katorz Zilyé
Mi tatone dési mon zoryé
Zot mizik an larmé la lwa
Amwin mwin-la pala èk sa
Ou lé sir mwin moun mi anvaz pa pèrsone
Kinm mi akout pa zot kléron kan i sone
Soman domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté
Non va domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté
Domoun i amont a mwin lo dwa
Park la monyon, li na pwin lo bra

Kan mi wa in domi sapo blé
Po kour dèryèr in volèr lo vant lé kré
Mi pas in kal o bondyé sinyèr
Domi sapo blé i pèt a tèr
Ou lé sir mwin moun mi anvaz pa pèrsone
Kinm mwin la kit sap in volèr konkonm
Soman domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté
Non va domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté
Tout domoun i sot si mwin baya
Bann gongon d-ki, zot i gingn pa

Pou war zot i vé bat mon mayi

Ou lé sir mwin moun mi anvaz pa pèrsone
Mi fim pa zamal mi bwar pa lo ronm
Soman domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté
Non va domoun i inm pa poukwé
Ou i rant pa dann zot trin oté

Vèy pann amwin lo pé wa ni
Park bann zaveg, kan minm ladi

Bad Reputation

In my neighborhood you can't gossip
Some say I'm a fool
I put my feet on the ground, my sandals on my two right feet
They take me for a goon
Oh you're sure I'm a guy who gets pushed around by no one
I sell my goods under the streetlight in the no-go zone
Only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out
No, only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out
Everyone gossips
Because of the talkers, they don't get it

On the Fourteenth of July
I tiptoe behind my door
Their music is an insult to the law
For me, I just hang out with that
Oh you're sure I'm a guy who gets pushed around by no one
As soon as I hear their sirens, I run
Only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out
No, only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out
People insult me
Because they're just stumps, they have no arms

When I see a man in a blue shirt
Running after a thief, his stomach in the wind
I make a prayer to the almighty Lord
The man in the blue shirt falls to the ground
Oh you're sure I'm a guy who gets pushed around by no one
As soon as I let go of a thief, he vanishes
Only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out
No, only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out
Everyone makes fun of me
Those damn blabbermouths, they don't get it

You don't have to be a big shot
To see that they want to beat my ass
If they found a rope, they'd hang me
So that I stay in my hole
Oh you're sure I'm a guy who gets pushed around by no one
I don't smoke pot, I don't drink rum
Only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out
No, only some people like it, I don't know why
You go into their trap and get thrown out

Watch out, they're going to put me away
Because those blind fools, they want me dead
