Lyrics by: Wyclef Jean

Men sa le monde antye tap tann nan
Wyclef qui sot nan Fugee
Jeremie! Ayiti! Potoprens! Flatbush!
Si w fiè dèske w Haitien mache

Jaspora n pa respecte diaspora

Depwi mwen piti, mwen te kite Ayiti
Gen sa ki al Brooklyn, gen sa ki al Miami
Poukisa Jamayiken toujou di se Jamayiken
Men Ayisyen, pè di li se Ayisyen
Poukisa ou pè di non se Samyèl?
Poukisa sa ou pé di w avèk Israel?
Poukisa chak swa w ap dòmi a Jezabèl?
Ou pè di fanm ayisyen yo ke yo bèl?
Fanm nou bèl
Mwen respecte nou tankou
Mwen respekte zanj Gabriyèl
Men nèg dyaspora yo vle mennen nou nan hotel
Tonbe pale anglè, vire "playboy channel"
Yo pa respecte Israel

Diaspora n pa respecte diaspora
Si se diaspora li ye m ap voye l bay reken
Diaspora n' a pa respecte diaspora
Si se diaspora li ye aswè a nap dezame l

Diaspora ha ha, oh la men
M ape pran li jete li nan prizon
M ap fè l konnen kiyès ki Tousen
M ap fè l konnen kiles ki Desalin
Aprè sa nou mèt lage l voyel back Brooklyn
Pou la l jwenn manman l kap fè manje nan kwizin
Mannan l gade li di ti gason ou chanje
Li di mwen chanje paske se Ayisyen mwen ye
Yo te ban mwen yon leson, yo te mete m nan prizon
Mwen wè dyaspora fi, dyaspora gason
Gen sa ki pat tounen k ape dòmi a pwason
Yo pèdi konesans kankou yo pèp san relijyon

Dyaspora n pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye m ape voye w bay reken
Dyaspora n pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye aswè a nap dezame w

Nèg Potoprens pa respecte diaspora
Nèg Flatbush pa respecte diaspora
Nèg Canada pa respecte diaspora
Nèg Miami pa respecte diaspora

Dyaspora n pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye m ape voye w bay reken
Dyaspora n pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye aswè a nap dezame w

Pa Kayos pa respekte dyaspora
Papa Djoume pa respekte dyaspora
Refugees pa respekte dyaspora
Nèg Florida pa respekte dyaspora

Malfini bagay yo pral fini mal,
Si w desrespecte natif natal
Malfini bagay yo pral fini mal
Desrespecte Ayisyen ou pral kout fistibal

Dyaspora n pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye m ape voye w bay reken
Dyaspora n pa respekte dyaspora
Si se dyaspora ou ye aswè a nap dezame w

Discover Talie's Debut EP 16 Novembre

Since Nathalie Cerin released her first two studio singles, Ti Nèg Chèlbè and Bèl Tifi, we've been waiting for a complete project from her. It's finally here, and it's a live EP she recorded on her birthday. On 16 Novembre, we find a more seasoned artist, with a firmer grasp on the world. Gone is the bubbly sweetness of her earlier material. The patina of life - wilted relationships, career shifts, last-minute apartment hunts - has molded her...

Five Diaspora Winter Anthems

A few weeks ago, all 50 states reached freezing temperatures. The Polar vortex may be gone, but most of us still can't feel our toes. Since humans can't hibernate, staying in and hunkering down is only a temporary fix. Plus, we have to brave the cold to pay those bills. Good thing, we have music to warm our souls. Quite a few Haitian artists have migrated to the States, Canada, and Europe. They've all experienced the winter blues and expressed their lingering homesickness in song. Here are a few of our favorites. They're a potent cocktail of frustration and nostalgia. We'd cry,...

Kompasoul Impresses On 'No Rules'

No Rules is the debut album of Kompasoul, a new band from Montreal, Canada. The 13 tracks flow seamlessly and leave you dancing throughout the duration of the project. What's most impressive about Kompasoul is their versatility. While the band is able to churn out hard-hitting club bangers promoters will love (Pè severans, Pirana, Manje Pou 2), they also craft mellow konpa love and zouk hits DJs will spin. And the transition between the two sounds is effortless. Even...
