Started from the graten now we here
From the bottom of the chodyè now the whole team here
Check it...
I would get a baton every day
If I ain’t in bed or forget to wash my face
Got a kalòt with a sapat or a belt (owww)
Ajenou for 3 days, can’t explain how it felt (uhn uhn)
I go into the fridge to grab a bite
Open Country Crock and I find epis - now I’m tight (damn)
Mama raised me on 3 Ls
Lakay, lekòl, legliz and I know she did it well
They be thinking that I came from nowhere no
They don’t see the grind or the pain at all
I don’t really do too much explaining (nope)
I just be grinding cause I’m Haitian (Sak pase?)
