On New Year's Eve 2007, they performed with Wyclef Jean on MTV. This was their first appearance on an American network television. In February 2008, they were crowned the best carnival band in Haiti for their energetic performance of Kalòt Marasa (two slaps). In 2010, Djakout Mizik divided into two distinct bands; one retained the original name "Djakout Mizik", with the second band taking the name "Djakout #1".[1]

Djakout Mizik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Di m' kilè ou ap sispann babye
Babye sou sa k' pa konsène w'
Se defo moun k'ap penpennen
Veye zafe moun k'ap cheche yon mwayen pou konbat la mizè
"Il n'y a pas de sots metiers"
Nanpwen moun k'ap travay tout jounen pou l' pa manje yon pen
A wi, Bondye bay moun de men de pye
Di m' kilè ou ap sispann babye,
Babye sou sa k' pa konsène w' (oh oh)
Se defo moun k'ap penpennen
Sa se pa manti
Veye zafè moun k'ap cheche yon mwayen pou konbat la mizè
Poutan, chak fwa yon nonm ap degaje l'
Egri ki poko pran konsyans
Pran plezi pale l' mal (pale l mal)
Yo kritike menm malere k'ap fè efò
San yo pa reyalize
Edikasyon fanmi k'ap fèt
Nan vann dlo
Wo yoyoy
Bondye bay chak moun yon kreyon pou trase chimen w'
Se ou k' pou aprann manye l'
Kreyon m' se mikwo m'
Se biznis pa m' li ye
Se sa k' fe m' jere l' byen konsa
Oo male

The song "Biznis Pam" by Djakout Mizik is a commentary on the importance of work and the struggle to make a living in Haiti. The opening lyrics, "Ok... Sa se biznis pa m'," translate to "Okay... This is my business." The song acknowledges the difficulties faced by Haitians in finding employment, and presents the idea that any job is worthwhile as long as one is making an honest living. The lyrics also take a critical look at those who judge others for their chosen professions and neglect to recognize the value of all jobs.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Sa se biznis pa m'" multiple times, emphasizing the song's central theme. The verses focus on specific examples of individuals working hard to overcome poverty and improve their lives. The line "Veye zafe mounk'ap cheche yon mwayen pou konbat la mizè" (watch out for those trying to find a way to fight poverty) highlights the perseverance of those who work tirelessly to provide for themselves and their families, despite limited resources and opportunities.
The song also acknowledges the role that education and family play in helping people succeed in life. The idea that God provides each person with "a pen and a path to follow" emphasizes the importance of making the most of the resources available. The song concludes with a plea for unity among Haitians and a rejection of those who seek to divide and tear down the community.

Ok... Sa se biznis pa m'
Alright, this is just business
Di m' kilè ou ap sispann babye
Tell me when you'll stop wasting time
Babye sou sa k' pa konsène w'
Wasting time on things that don't concern you
Se defo moun k'ap penpennen
It's a weakness for people who overthink
Veye zafe moun k'ap cheche yon mwayen pou konbat la mizè
Watch out for people trying to make ends meet
Nanpwen moun k'ap travay tout jounen pou l' pa manje yon pen
There's no one who works all day and doesn't get to eat
A wi, Bondye bay moun de men de pye
Yes, God gives people two hands and feet
"Il suffit" que ou fè "brain" ou mache pou sove de gouden (en en en)
"Just think" and walk to save some money (uh-huh)
Sa se pa manti
That's not a lie
Poutan, chak fwa yon nonm ap degaje l'
However, every time a man tries to
Egri ki poko pran konsyans
The ignorant who are still clueless
Pran plezi pale l' mal (pale l mal)
Take pleasure in speaking ill of him (speak ill of him)
Yo kritike menm malere k'ap fè efò
They criticize even the poor who are trying
San yo pa reyalize
Without realizing
Edikasyon fanmi k'ap fèt
Family education that's being done
Nan vann dlo
At the water's shop
Wo yoyoy
Wow yeah yeah
Bondye bay chak moun yon kreyon pou trase chimen w'
God gives each person a pencil to trace their path
Se ou k' pou aprann manye l'
It's up to you to learn how to handle it
Kreyon m' se mikwo m'
My pencil is my microphone
Se biznis pa m' li ye
It's my business, that's what it is
Se sa k' fe m' jere l' byen konsa
That's why I manage it so well
Oo male
