Yelé Lyrics

[Intro]
Tem la ma'p maché sou flatbush là (Dans Brooklyn là?)
Nèg manyin en do'm
Nèg'la gen zarm sou men
Missié di'm:
"Yo man give up your sneakers right now"
Ou nouveau paire Fila m' sou té acheté
Nèg'la wé pou vine tiré
[?]
Men'm relax
Premyé bagay ki vini en tèt mwen
M' sonjé papa té montré mo en ti psaume:
"L'énernel est mon berger, je ne manquerai de rien"
Lord
Nèg' Port-au-prince, Jacmel, Jérémy, relax
Flatbush
Bondyé voyé en messaj pou Ayiti
Miami, le monde entier, Canada
Kot badboy yo?
Tandé, tandé, tandé

[Chorus]
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Si nou pa chache Bondyé, encore
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Israel chache Bondye, tandé

[Verse 1]
10,000 sekey
Gadé, tout sé timoun
Pè ap crié
Men yo pap resisité
Manman rélé
Men kadav paka tandé
Zenglendo pasé
Mwen tandé : Blo! Blo! Blo!
Lord

[Chorus]
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Ayisyen chache Bondye, encore
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Israel chache Bondye, tandé

[Verse 2]
Mwen konn yon Ayisyen
Ki t'ap vann marijuana
Polis té kenbe'l
Li di se poutet manman'l té gen kansè
Li pat gen lajan
Kounya li nan prizon
Pou konbyen tan?
L'ap pale'm de revolision
San solisyon
Men polis yo te pase
Mwen te tande : Blo! Blo! Blo!
Lord

[Chorus]
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Monsieur! Suspend tiré! Encore
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Haitien chache Bondye, tandé

[Verse 3]
Depi mwen piti, mwen te konn li Jénèze
Mwen bokse avek Satan tankou mwen bokse ak Chavez
Men gen de le, lespri mwen feb
Mwen di poukisa politisyen yo fimen zeb?
Tandé, m'ap atake ou kankou yon gèp, poukisa?
Paske ou pa konn fe bon zèv'
Mwen konnen yon politisyen yo rele Maleb
Male avek ou si w' teste Maleb
Lougarou yo va manje'w tankou yo manje kenep
Igwaz nan bouda'w tankou cheval k'ap pran fret
Tandé, menm nan légliz, ou pran fret, poukisa?
Politisyen pa vlé tandé prèt'?

[Bridge]
Yélé, yélé, yélé
Kriyé, kriyé, kriyé
Peup'la ya pé mandé
Ki lèr, sa va chanjé?
Yélé, yélé, yélé
Kriyé, kriyé, kriyé
Peup'la ya pé mandé
Ki lèr, sa va chanjé?

[Chorus]
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Si nou pa chache Bondye, anko
Si'w gen zorey, tandé
Si'w gen bouch, palé
Si e pa sa, peyi an li va koulé
Tankou yon bato ki plen refijé
Israel chaché Bondye, tandé
Anko

[Outro]
Yélé, yélé, yélé
Kriyé, kriyé, kriyé
Pep' la ap mandé
Ki lèr', sa va chanjé?
