Ewo
Barikad Crew Lyrics

Han…Atansyon, sa s'on rèd vibrasyon
Pay attention, this is a powerful vibration

San presyon, nou fè'l gran dimansyon
Without pressure, we make it on a large scale

Distraksyon, edikasyon yon nasyon
Distraction, educating a nation

Jenerasyon sa pra'l pase alaksyon
This generation is about to take action

Revolisyon'n nan tèt nou, n'ap mache an pwogresyon
The revolution is in our minds, we're making progress

Motivasyon'n nan kè nou, n'ap bay jèn yo direksyon
Motivation in our hearts, we're guiding the youth

Imilyasyon'w, echèk ou, dwe ba ou plis konviksyon
Your imitation, your failure, should give you more conviction

Pran desizyon grandèt nou, se sèl solisyon
Making big decisions is the only solution

Lajenès yon peyi se pi gwo trezò'l
The youth of a country is its greatest treasure

Pigran yo ki pou tj pwoteje sò'l
The adults are supposed to protect the soil

Ba'l opòtinite pou li jwe gran wòl
Give them the opportunity to play a big role

Pa souzestime li apresye efò'l
Don't underestimate, appreciate their efforts

Fo lidè sa yo ba'n twòp koze kremòl
These leaders are giving us too much trouble

Yo vle divize'n, fè nou fè sa'k dwòl
They want to divide us, make us do foolish things

An'n kole zepòl
Let's stand together

An'n prime lekòl
Let's prioritize education

Non nou pa dwe ret bra kwaze tann leta
No, we shouldn't be waiting for the state's help

Rejete tout vye pratik kap ban'n reta
Reject all the old practices that hold us back

Fo'n travay plis, remet peyi'n anneta
We have to work harder, rebuild our country

An'n chanje sa, an'n chanje sa!...
Let's change this, let's change this!...

Oo ooooh! Oo ooooh! Se kou'l cho'l kwit!
Oh ooooh! Oh ooooh! It's like it's on fire!

Chak ane malad BC yo pou yo n'toujou pote T a
Every year BC faces challenges to always carry the torch

Yo te met te nan koma depi'n lage yo vle fete a
They were in a coma since they wanted to celebrate

Tout jenès la renmen nou paske yo wè nou pa sou blòf
All the youth love us because they see we're not bluffing

Konbinezon, difikilte, nan mitan tout nou kanpe tòf
Combination, difficulties, in the middle of it all we stand tall

Wi tout sa'k ta vle vin kraze nan figi yo'n met barikad
Yes, everything that wants to destroy us, we put up barricades

Se pa vizaj sa'n te bay ane chanje fò'n chaje kad
It's not the face we gave them, this year we're loaded

Pou lòt peyi n'pa ka poubèl yo
For other countries, we can't be their trash

Fò blan sispann fè'n fè lago
White people have to stop making us play the fool

An nou tout rezoud problèm yo
Let's all solve our problems

Nou fè kita men'n poko nago
We've made progress but we're not done yet

N'oblije kanpe tòf
We have to stand strong

Kon Wa Anri Kristòf
Like King Henri Christophe

Nan peyi sa fò'w gen etòòòòòf
In this country, you have to have strength

Nou bouke pran nan blòòòòòòf
We're tired of being in deep

N'oblije kanpe tòf Kon Wa Anri Kristòf Nan peyi sa fò'w gen etòòòòòf
We have to stand strong, like King Henri Christophe, you have to have strength in this country

Nou bouke pran nan blòòòòòòf
We're tired of being in deep

N' tèlman kanpe Tòf pirèd ke bwa kita nago
We're standing so strong, the wood cries non-stop

Yo di jèn yo santi ke nou pap fè yon pa nago
They say the youth feel like we're not making any progress

Se nou'k avni ou ka pa pran'n pou sa'n pa vo
We are the future, you can't take that away from us

Menmjan gen ti vini'k vle diss BC pandan ke yo pa vo'l
Just like some newcomers want to disrespect BC when they haven't flown

Yon ayisyen yon pye bwa pou nou s'on fyète (wiiiiiiii)
For us Haitians, each tree is a pride (wiiiiiiii)

Kit ou Milat kit ou Nwa jwenn tou pou'n mete (Bwa!)
Whether you're mixed or black, we will find a place for you (Bwa!)

Sak rekonèt nou se tenò nap ba yo holla
What recognizes us is intensity, we give them a holler

E sa ki ret tèt rèd kou kwatchòkò nap ba yo traka
And what's left is red-hot like a firecracker, we're causing trouble

Jèn Pòtoprens Jèn nan pwovens Elèv lekòl Tout etidyan Tout atis Tout spòtif Tout peyizan'n yo Nèg geto'n yo Depi lontan nape travay
Youth from Port-au-Prince, youth from the provinces, school students, all students, all artists, all athletes, all peasants, and boys and girls from the ghetto, we've been working for a long time

Wi nan studio nape bat nay
Yes, we're in the studio beating drums

Koman fè pou'n pa ta kanpe tòf Plede mache di nou se djab
How can we not stand strong? We plead and say we're demons

Si'w pa respekte Barikad
If you don't respect Barikad

Tout maskarad sal n'ap di yo vouzan! (Bakalaw!)
All the dirty masquerades, we're exposing them! (Codfish!)

Devan, dèyè, adwat, agoch, tout moun se
Front, back, right, left, everyone is

Fanatik Rap ki nan foul la pa pouse
Fanatic Rap in the crowd not leaving

Barikad Crew toupatou ap met dife
Barikad Crew everywhere setting fire

Nou se pwalou! (Ou pa renmen'l vreee!)
We are powerful! (You don't like it, huh!)

Pou jenès la nape batay
For the youth, we're fighting

Pou'n rive la nou pase tray
To get there, we go through trials

Koman fè pou'n pa ta kanpe tòf Plede mache di nou se djab
How can we not stand strong? We plead and say we're demons

Si'w pa respekte Barikad
If you don't respect Barikad

Tout maskarad sal nap di yo vouzan!
All the dirty masquerades, we're exposing them!

Devan, dèyè, adwat, agoch, tout moun se
Front, back, right, left, everyone is

Fanatik Rap ki nan foul la pa pouse
Fanatic Rap in the crowd not leaving

Barikad Crew toupatou ap met dife
Barikad Crew everywhere setting fire

Nou se pwalou!…
We are powerful!...

Sèl solisyon pou'n vanse
The only solution to move forward

Pran pozisyon moralite
Take a position of morality

Plis motivasyon pou'n lite
More motivation for us to fight

Konsyantisasyon pou'n chanje
Awareness for us to change

Mobilizasyon pou'n plante
Mobilization for us to plant

Plis edikasyon pou'n prime
More education to value

Twòp imilyasyon nou bouke
Too much imitation, we're tired

Nou pot vibrasyon pou'w ponpe
We have the vibration for you to pump

Yon sèl peyi
One country

Yon sèl drapo
One flag

Menmlè nap soufri
While we suffer

Nou pa pè fado
We're not afraid of fate

Jeunesse de mon pays
Youth of my country

wi'm konn sa nou vo
Yes, I know what you're worth

Lè BC anvayi
When BC invades

Nou fè'l pi cho!
We make it even hotter!

Yo Hype!
They're Hype!

Big mann!
Big man!

F'on poz! Moun yo ap fè ovèdoz!
Stay in position! People are getting overdosed!

Non! Nou pa ka stop! N'ap push li to the top…
No! We can't stop! We're pushing it to the top...

Red People let's go!
Red People, let's go!

Do you get enough? No
Do you get enough? No

Eske'n kanpe tòf? Wi
Can we stand strong? Yes

Chak ane nou kale yo
Every year we face them

Sou beton'n sakaje yo
On the concrete they attack us

Ravaje'n ravaje yo
They ravage us, ravage them

Pa kanpe sakade yo
Don't stop scratching them

Nou pa bezwen atake yo
We don't need to attack them

Si yo vini n'ap tape yo
If they come, we'll hit them

Sa'k fache nou lave
What angers us, we wash it away

Tankou tònad n'ap brase yo
Like a tornado, we'll burn them

Nou se tenò a, gwoup rekò sou rekò a
We are the foundation, group record on record

Mizik nou se lò, jèn yo aplodi efò a
Our music is loud, the youth applaud the effort

Nou fè'l Ès, Wès, nan Sid epi nan Nò a
We do it in Port-au-Prince, West, in the South and in the North

Tibòzò rale kò'w, ou pa gen modèl calor sa!...
Tibòzò pull yourself together, you don't have that level of heat!...

Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo Ooooooooooo

Plede mache di nou se djab
We plead and say we're demons

Si'w pa respekte Barikad
If you don't respect Barikad

Tout maskarad sal nap di yo vouzan!
All the dirty masquerades, we're exposing them!

Ò…apa'w frete tèt ò'w!
Oh... don't freeze up!
