Ghetto
Admiral T Lyrics

Hé gay sa gason ,fo ou sav kè
Hey guys, you should know that

Mwen pa pè hak a lucifè
I'm not afraid of Lucifer's tricks

Ki jalouzi, ipokrizi ,sa pa ka atenn mwen non
Jealousy, hypocrisy, can't affect me

Sa sèten kè mwenpa kay fè la gè
Some who hurt me and that won't lead me to war

Epi an frè, épi an sè
With a brother or a sister

A koz dè...
Because of...

Paskè mwen lévé si an ghetto
Because I grew up in the ghetto

Ni edikasyon a ghetto
We have education in the ghetto

Ni espéryanans a ghetto
We have hopes in the ghetto

Koté pozitif a ghetto
The positive side of the ghetto

Aprann an ghetto
We learn in the ghetto

Pa pété gun, pété péta pito
We don't resort to guns and violence

Rude boy an dé mo
I'm a rude boy in two words

Toujou otantik, mwen pa dé figui kon jémo
Always authentic, I'm not fake like a chameleon

Pa jen ka obliyé kè nou tout si la tè égo
We shouldn't forget that we all come from the earth

Kè nou tout tini défo
We all have our flaws

Kè nou anba an régim ki démokratik
We are under a democratic regime

Palé librèman pou mwen sa vin otantik
Speak freely so that I can be authentic

Respèté lot sé an prinsip ki dogmatik
Respect others, it's a dogmatic principle

Poukoi pou mwen sa dogmatik
Why is it dogmatic to me

Viv adan ghetto rèd
Living in the ghetto is tough

Mè lè mwen rété gadé tousa mwen aprann dè la vi
But when I look back, I learned a lot from life

Mwen pé pa régrété
I have no regrets

An pon jan sa bondyé fè mwen vwè,fè mwen tann, fè mwen santi
In the way God made me see, hear, and feel

Serten ka vann kam ,dot ka fimé kam
Some sell drugs, others smoke them

Timoun ka pran bal, manmanlopital
Children get shot, mothers end up in the hospital

Ay tou fen lékol ,yo hay vou lékol
They close schools and say go to school

Kon chyen anrajé, serten ka manjé
Like a mad dog, some people eat whatever

Manjé an poubel , non sa pa bel
Eating from the garbage, that's not beautiful

Pa rété pasif
Don't be passive

Fo-w toujou actif
You have to be always active

Travay ka péyé
Working pays off

Gason sa sérié
Being serious, men

Moun ka rékolté sa yo simé
People harvest what they sow

Méyè zanmi-aw pé piw lenmi-aw
Your best friends can become your worst enemies

Mé moun pé rivé
But people can make it through

Fo-w ni volonté
You need to have the willpower

Fo-w détewminé
You need to be determined

An tét an mwen sa toujou gravé
I'm always reminded of that

Amisé responsabilité-aw gason
Assume your responsibilities, men

Manman di mwen-y an tout sotdè fason
My mother told me in every possible way

Pa janmin lésé-y pran lanmin si-w gason
Never let her take your tears, man

Aranjé-w pou-w pa rété la ki ni mové vibrasyon
Organize yourself so you won't be stuck in bad vibes

Adan la vi,fo-w toujou ni anbisyon
In life, you must always have ambition

Papa mwen fè mwen konprann ké lèspwa sé an stimulasyon
My father made me understand that hope is a stimulant

Ka ba-w volonté pou-w pé réyisi sa ou vlé gason
It gives you the willpower to succeed in what you want, man
