Pi bon
Phyllisia Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've been denying my reality
Menm si m gen tout bagay machin ti kòb yon kay
Mwen konnen wap upgrade me
Mewi m ap chache sa
So I won′t try to fight
What I feel inside
But no there's no me without you
Pi bon pi bon pi bon avè w mwen pi bon
Pi bon pi bon better off with you
Sa m te ka bay pou sa w fè in my life
Right by my side
You give all of you I give all of me
Ou pa jalou ou ban m espas
On vrè moun avèk klas
And that′s what i means the most to me
I ain′t trying to hide it
Non mwen pap batay
Sa m santi inside
Don't know quite what to do
But there′s no me with you
How will I know
We won't give up or lose control
I pray that we won′t
We won't we won′t
In Phyllisia Ross's song Pi bon, the artist talks about living in a facade while denying her true feelings. She confesses that even though she has everything she needs like material things, upgrading her life, she still feels incomplete without the person she loves the most. The lyrics "Been living a lie, acting like I'm fine, But I've been denying my reality" shows that the singer has been pretending to be okay and happy, but she cannot fight the feeling inside of her that yearns for the person she loves.
In the chorus, the artist admits that she is better off with her lover, and this person makes her the best version of herself. In the lines "You give all of you, I give all of me. Ou pa jalou ou ban m espas" meaning "You aren't jealous, you give me space," she appreciates the fact that her partner understands her and allows her to be her authentic self. The most significant line in the song is "But there's no me without you," which emphasizes that the singer cannot imagine her life without her lover.
Overall, the song is about someone who is comfortable with themselves but feels incomplete without the love of their life. It is a declaration that the artist is better off with her partner and that there is strength in admitting that you need someone.

Whenever I play your 🎶 music, I feel so much better and love my Creole. Trying to teach my children especially through music. Keep it up GORGROUS

That's how you elevate Haitian music and Kompa - you add to the sound, not completely change it to something it's not, I'm tired of hearing hip-hop style or USA music becoming our culture. This was refreshing and well done.

I know everyone as different taste of music, in this case you have to be a REAL FREAKEN hater to hit that dislike button. It can be a few reasons: you don't understand the music fully because you're stuck in a box, maybe they wish it was straight creole or english only or you're jealous of her and you still came to press the dislike button for heck of it or simply don't have an hear for music. She's beautiful, wonderful and an amazing artist. Keep them coming honey Yessssss.
