Water is essential to everyone
All species need H2O to survive
No one can live without this weapon
A dehydrated lion will die in
Minutes without any type of liquid
Eternal God, I thank and glorify you
Nights and days for everything
The pride of my People is not dead.
Kanal la pap kanpe
Pèp Ayisien kanpe
Pou defann dwa li
Nou fèb men nou ini.
Wow! Many people are shocked
Antique myths are still relevant
Nobody is afraid to die fighting
Ancient spirits live forever
My fellow friends and Poets
Eternal God, we pray and thank you
Nights and days, for miracles around
The Globe, where Peace is paramount.
Kanal la pap kanpe
Pèp Wanament yo ap
Wè ke jaden yo ap byen aroze
Pèp Ayisyen pa pè pran frap.

Women are a traveled road
you go without a map
Where yelling their instructions
takes you back to see a lap
When driving for another mile
will help you see the frap
When you will say the other way
was meant for far less crap
That you will say the other way
was turn yourself around
And go back to the very start
and try to guess some ground
When you will know your apt to learn
from others who have failed
When pleasing women from your acts
means less time that they're railed
And you will know a foolish man
will have to learn himself
When women only fire up
for men less like an elf
Was it a mocha latte or a moch frap ?
My mind escapes me at the moment
I can nor grasp nor reenact the events that play in my late memory
Was it you screaming or me leaving that played the biggest part
I cannot recall
But it is said if you love it you must let it depart
I hold it less at my heart and more as a monkey on my back
I think more so.....
Never mind, forget it, I'll never get that memory back
Long as the Great Wall of China or short as a life span
excuse my inner thoughts Im just babbling
Guess I'm going through a life transe
