Lyrics
(Everything’s fine)
– (Tout bagay se byen)
Look
– Gade
White fish on the coast of the Caribbean, my life is a film
– Pwason blan sou kòt Karayib la, lavi mwen se yon fim
Hero and villain, I’m playin’ both in the script
– Ewo ak villain, mwen ap jwe tou de nan script la
Worthy of Spielberg or Christopher Nolan readin’
– Merite Spielberg oswa Christopher Nolan readin’
The constant overachievin’, I know
– Konstan overachievin’, mwen konnen
I ain’t as rich as them people with old money, but I didn’t know money
– Mwen pa rich tankou moun sa yo ak lajan fin vye granmoun, men mwen pa t ‘ konnen lajan
They mock me online for speakin’ up on all of our issues
– Yo fè m plezi sou entènèt pou pale sou tout pwoblèm nou yo
And bein’ vocal, the shit that I see on socials
– Epi yo te vokal, bagay sa yo ke mwen wè sou sosyal
But how can I stay silent when, when?
– Men, ki jan mwen ka rete an silans lè, lè?
I’m out in Barbados, white people mistreatin’ locals
– Mwen soti nan Barbad, blan yo maltrete moun nan Lokalite yo
The villa in Jamaica, but it’s owned by the Chinese
– Villa a nan Jamayik, men Li se posede pa Chinwa yo
Head to the right beach and they’re chargin’ us five each
– Tèt nan plaj la dwa epi yo ap chaje nou senk chak
They say, “The Caribbean paradise, like, why leave?”
– Yo di, “paradi Karayib la, tankou, poukisa kite?”
But how can I be silent when there’s blood on the pine trees?
– Men, ki jan mwen ka rete an silans lè gen san sou pyebwa pin yo?
Most of us would sacrifice our soul for the right fees
– Pifò nan nou ta sakrifye nanm nou pou frè yo dwa
Before I find love, I’m just prayin’ I find peace
– Anvan mwen jwenn renmen, mwen jis priye mwen jwenn lapè
Before I find love, I’m just prayin’ I find peace
– Anvan mwen jwenn renmen, mwen jis priye mwen jwenn lapè
You know what I believe, I don’t know if I handled it well
– Ou konnen sa mwen kwè, mwen pa konnen si mwen te okipe li byen
It’s fuck Coca-Cola, did I stop drinkin’ Fanta as well?
– Li Nan fuck Coca – Cola, mwen sispann Bwè Fanta kòm byen?
I could see the blood on the lyrics I write for myself
– Mwen te ka wè san an sou lyrics mwen ekri pou tèt mwen
I cried about slavery, then went to Dubai with my girl
– Mwen te kriye sou esklavaj, lè sa a, te ale nan Doubay ak ti fi mwen an
Surely I ain’t part of the problem, I lied to myself
– Se vre wi mwen pa fè pati pwoblèm nan, mwen te bay tèt mwen manti
Jewels that my people die for are a sign of my wealth
– Bijou ke pèp mwen mouri pou yo se yon siy richès mwen
My work is a physical weight of my life and my health
– Travay mwen se yon pwa fizik nan lavi mwen ak sante mwen
The last couple years, felt like I been inside on a shelf
– De dènye ane yo, te santi tankou mwen te andedan sou yon etajè
I just phoned Cench, and I said, “You inspired myself”
– Mwen jis rele Cench, e mwen te di, “ou enspire tèt mwen”
I don’t feel a spot of jealousy inside of myself
– Mwen pa santi yon ti jalouzi anndan tèt mwen
But when I’m all alone, I won’t lie, I question myself
– Men lè mwen tout pou kont li, mwen pa pral bay manti, mwen kesyon tèt mwen
Am I self-destructive? Am I doin’ the best for myself?
– Èske m destriktif? Èske m ap fè sa ki pi bon pou tèt mwen?
I know I love music, but I question the rest of myself
– Mwen konnen mwen renmen mizik, men mwen kesyon rès la nan tèt mwen
Like why don’t you post pictures or why don’t you drop music?
– Tankou poukisa ou pa afiche foto oswa poukisa ou pa lage mizik?
Or why not do somethin’ but sittin’ and stressin’ yourself
– Oswa poukisa pa fè yon bagay men chita ak estrès tèt ou
Ten years I been in the game and I won’t lie, it’s gettin’ difficult
– Dis ane mwen te nan jwèt la e mwen pa pral bay manti, li ap vin difisil
This shit used to be spiritual
– Sa a bagay itilize yo dwe espirityèl
We don’t need no commentators, we could leave that to the sports
– Nou pa bezwen okenn kòmantè, nou te kapab kite sa pou espò yo
Just listen to the music, why do you need somebody’s thoughts?
– Jis koute mizik la, poukisa ou bezwen panse yon moun?
And some of it’s constructive, but most of it is forced
– Ak kèk nan li se konstriktif, men pi fò nan li se fòse
And why we countin’ the numbers, how the music make you feel?
– E poukisa nou konte nimewo yo, ki jan mizik la fè ou santi?
I’m just bein’ real
– Mwen jis ap ‘ reyèl
(Alright)

– Tout moun sa yo te di m, “Kontinye moulen, se pou pasyans”
It’s weird bein’ famous, tryna navigate the spaces
– Li se etranj ke yo te pi popilè, eseye navige espas yo
Feel like a celebrity, but you ain’t on the A-list
– Santi tankou yon selebrite, men ou pa sou a-lis la
And you never drop so you ain’t really on the playlist
– Epi ou pa janm tonbe se konsa ou pa reyèlman sou playlist la
But your fans love you, you can see it on their faces
