Lyrics
When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold
– Lè m te jwenn ou, ou te jèn, tèt chaje, pèdi nan frèt la
Pulled up to you in the Jag’, turned your rags into gold
– Rale moute ou nan Jag la’, vire rad ou nan lò
The winding road leads to the chateau
– Wout la likidasyon mennen nan chato la
“You remind me of a younger me,” I saw potential
– “Ou raple m’ nan yon pi piti m’, ” mwen te wè potansyèl
I’ll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
– Mwen pral figi papa ou, mwen bwè ke likè mawon
I can make deals with the devil because my dick’s bigger
– Mwen ka fè kontra ak dyab la paske pi gwo pitit mwen an
This love is pure profit, just step into my office
– Lanmou sa a se pwofi pur, jis etap nan biwo mwen an
I dry your tears with my sleeve
– Mwen siye dlo nan je w ak manch mwen
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Kite l avè m, mwen pwoteje fanmi an
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Kite l avè m, mwen pwoteje fanmi an
I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain
– Mwen peye chèk la anvan li bo grenn mahagon an
Said, “They wanna see you rise, they don’t want you to reign”
– Te di, “yo vle Wè ou leve, yo pa vle ou pou wa”
I showed you all the tricks of the trade
– Mwen te montre ou tout trik nouvèl yo nan komès la
All I asked for is your loyalty, my dear protégé
– Tout sa mwen te mande se lwayote ou, protégé mwen renmen anpil
I’ll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
– Mwen pral figi papa ou, mwen bwè ke likè mawon
I can make deals with the devil because my dick’s bigger
– Mwen ka fè kontra ak dyab la paske pi gwo pitit mwen an
This love is pure profit, just step into my office
– Lanmou sa a se pwofi pur, jis etap nan biwo mwen an
They’ll know your name in the streets
– Yo pral konnen non ou nan lari yo
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Kite l avè m, mwen pwoteje fanmi an
I saw a change in you (I saw a change, saw a change in you)
– Mwen te wè yon chanjman nan ou (mwen te wè yon chanjman, te wè yon chanjman nan ou)
My dear boy
– Ti gason mwen renmen anpil
They don’t make loyalty like they used to (Not like they used to)
– Yo pa fè lwayote tankou yo te konn fè (Pa tankou yo te konn fè)
Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition
– Anbisyon san reflechi ou te pwovoke ignisyon an
On foolish decisions, which led to misguided visions
– Sou desizyon fou, ki te mennen nan vizyon mal dirije
That to fulfill your dreams
– Sa pou akonpli rèv ou
You had to get rid of me
– Ou te oblije debarase m de mwen
I protect the family
– Mwen pwoteje fanmi an
I was your father figure, we drank that brown liquor
– Mwen te figi papa ou, nou te bwè ke likè mawon
You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick’s bigger
– Ou te fè yon kontra ak dyab sa a, vire soti pi gwo penis mwen an
You want a fight? You found it, I got the place surrounded
– Ou vle yon batay? Ou te jwenn li, mwen te jwenn kote a antoure
You’ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you’re drowning
– Ou pral dòmi ak pwason yo anvan ou konnen ou ap noye
Whose portrait’s on the mantle? Who covered up your scandals?
– Ki moun ki pòtrè sou manto a? Ki moun ki kouvri eskandal ou yo?
Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled
– Erè jantiyès mwen pou feblès epi jwenn kat ou anile
I was your father figure, you pulled the wrong trigger
– Mwen te figi papa ou, ou te rale deklanche a mal
This empire belongs to me
– Anpi sa a se pou mwen
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Kite l avè m, mwen pwoteje fanmi an
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Kite l avè m, mwen pwoteje fanmi an
Leave it with me
– Kite l avè m
“You know, you remind me of a younger me”
– “Ou konnen, ou fè m sonje yon pi piti m”
I saw potential
– Mwen te wè potansyèl
