PORT AU PRINCE Lyrics

Yeah Port au prince, Haiti

Griotzoe

Sak pase

It's the Griotzoe boy, in music I find joy

All I ever wanted was them lil music toys

I used to be in acapella group singing with my cousins

I used to play soccer with bottles barefoot I had no choice

And my parents whipped my ass a lot when I skipped school

For fun, I used to play with marbles for funds with the young bulls

Hell yeah I was a fool, but I was a smart dude

Sometimes the Fam and I slept on top of the house to feel cool

We used to walk so many miles away with my pops and mother

We travelled under the sun trying to get some water

But I always got mad love for my city

I used to eat bread, dipped in sweet water, I was hungry

I'm from Haiti, I grew up in Port au prince

I used to listen to Michael before I knew Prince

My mother tried to keep me look nice, I was her lil prince

It feels like I'm been on the titanic but I won't sink

I'm from the very bottom, man I swear I fought Lucifer

It still not easy, but shit used to be way harder

God had my back then, still has it now, I walk on water

I'm tryna go up, no elevator, I need a ladder

And how about that time I played with kites bigger than me

I was on top of a building, almost died trying to live

Even when I had nothing, I tried to do something

I collected empty gallons to make cars with my bestfriend

I always had toys, we made them and tried to have joy

They called me Kaka, I was the shit when I played ball

And it took some balls to play domino with clips

All over your arms and face standing on you feet

What you know about this

I'm from Haiti, I grew up in Port au prince

I used to listen to Michael before I knew Prince

My mother tried to keep me look nice, I was her lil prince

It feels like I'm been on the titanic but I won't sink
